Who Will Make The First Basket In Today's NBA Games? Wednesday December 14, 2022

In recent times, NBA first basket props 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 and artificial intelligence model to identify where the edges lie on Wednesday, December 14, 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 big manes will often feature in our NBA first basket predictions in the table below, it is unlikely you will ever see the likes of Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Jason Tatum or Giannis listed as 'value bets' down below, because the odds the sportsbooks put up for those guys are always extremely efficient - and that's where we come in.

Pascal Siakam (TOR vs. SAC 15.77% chance
Donovan Mitchell (CLE vs. DAL)

Based on the above first basket scorer probabilities, the players listed below represent the most value in first basket player props markets for NBA games on Wednesday, December 14, 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.

BETS PROB % ODDS
B. Bogdanovic (Pistons) 14.63% +650
Z. LaVine (Bulls) 13.12% +750
J.Grant (Trail Blazers) 11.75% +900
A. Simons (Trail Blazers) 10.64% +1100
S. Dinwiddie (Mavericks) 9.81% `+1200

As you're about to see, not all sportsbooks are the same. Some offer good odds for first basket bets, and some don't. Your job is to make sure you're armed with funded sports book accounts for all the major players, so you can capitalize on the edges we identify in these NBA first basket 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 those instances where the oddsmakers get it wrong in assessing their NBA first basket markets. And when the sportsbooks get it wrong, it means we can make some money betting on them.
