Best NBA First Basket Scorer Picks for Friday, May 24 (Target Karl-Anthony Towns, Luka Doncic)

For the second straight game on Wednesday, we hit a first-basket scorer by taking Luka Doncic (+500) to score first in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

That followed up a hit on Jaylen Brown in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, giving us some serious leeway when it comes to betting on this market over the rest of these series.

Doncic didn't take the first shot in Game 1 -- that went to Karl-Anthony Towns -- but he did take the first two shots for Dallas in the game. Don't be shocked if we see that again in Game 2, as the Mavericks are trusting the MVP finalist to carry them this postseason.
