We're down to just one NBA game per night, which means we can be even more focused on the first-basket scorer market and who the best targets are.
For those of you who follow these picks day-to-day, you know that I love targeting players who attempt the first shot of the game a lot, as it's a good indicator of their involvement in the offense early on in a matchup.
Tonight, I'm eyeing two players on the Boston Celtics in their Game 1 matchup against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston has been one of the best teams at winning the jump ball all season long, and even without Kristaps Porzingis, I think they're in a good spot to get the first possession on Tuesday night.
