The Best NBA Player Props & First Basket Bets For Tuesday

We've dived deep into our predictive analytics model, otherwise known as DimersBOT, to identify the best odds and betting opportunities, plus the best NBA player props and first basket predictions for Tuesday November 22, 2022. Using the world renowned Monte Carlo method, we have simulated every major pro and college sport over 10,000 times to produce NBA predictions that paint the clearest picture of what is likely to occur in any given game, and which players will contribute to those predictions either hitting or missing. We then use these suggested NBA prop bets and match them against the sportsbooks' odds to identify where we have a betting edge, and where we believe the odds makers have got it wrong in their assessment of an NBA matchup.

Using the Total Points, Rebounds, Assists, Three-Pointers, Blocks, Steals, Turnovers and First Basket player prop markets, and then matching them against the results of our simulations, gives us a massive opportunity to identify the best player prop bets for Tuesday, with the biggest edges, to throw our cash down on today.

Why You Should Use More Than One Sportsbook

As you're about to see, not all sportsbooks are the same. Some offer good odds, and some bad. Your job is to make sure you're armed with funded accounts for all the major players so you can capitalize on the edges we identify in these articles.

Why is this important? Well, as you'll see below, our technology scans all the major sportsbooks to identify opportunities to take advantage of instances where the odds-makers get it wrong. And when the sportsbooks get it wrong, it means we can make some money.

Here are the best offers currently available to new users:

DraftKings: New users will get $150 in free bets when they place a $5 money line bet on any sport. DraftKings is often the sportsbook with the best odds on player props.

NBA First Basket Predictions For Tuesday

In recent times, NBA first basket bets have become one of the more popular prop bets for sports bettors to wager on. All of the major sportsbooks offer NBA odds on first basket scorer, so by using our predictive analytics model to identify where the edges lie on Tuesday, November 22, you're giving yourself an advantage over the rest of the field.

Our super computer identifies both value bets and the players with the highest probabilities. While all the usual suspects will often feature in our NBA first basket predictions, it is unlikely you will ever see the likes of Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Jason Tatum or Giannis listed as 'value bets' because the odds the sportsbooks put up for those guys are always extremely efficient - and that's where we come in.

FIRST BASKET PREDICTIONS PROBABILITY
Anthony Davis (LAL) 15.58% chance
De'Aaron Fox (SAC) 15.03% chance
LeBron James (LAL)
Kevin Durant (BRO) 14.38% chance
Shake Milton (PHI)  13.99% chance

NBA First Basket Bets Today

Based on the above first basket scorer probabilities, the players listed below represent the most value to score the first basket in NBA games on Tuesday, November 22, 2022. While it's obviously impossible for all of these guys to cash tickets for us, we actually don't need them to.

Given some of the first basket odds available, we'd only need one or two of these to hit for us to earn a nice payout.

While the sportsbooks focus on the top two or three guys from each game, we're able to evaluate every player, in every game, to unearth the edges that will give us the upper hand when it comes to long-term profitability.

Remember, the key to long term success when betting is being able to identify where there is an edge in the market, in other words, when the sportsbooks' odds aren't a true reflection of the actual likelihood of something happening.

FIRST BASKET BETS PROBABILITY DRAFTKINGS ODDS
De'Aaron Fox (SAC) 15.03% +850
Cameron Payne (PHX) 11.32% +1300
Kevin Huerter (SAC) 9.61% +1400
Shake Milton (PHI) 13.99% +800
De'Anthony Melton (PHI)  11.83% +1000
