First basket scorer tonight

12 games tonightUpdated Oct 28, 3:43 AM ET

The first basket bet pays if your player scores the game's first points. It comes down to three things: who wins the opening tip, who his team runs the first play for, and how often he actually scores it. This page puts all three next to tonight's FanDuel prices.

Top of our list tonightJarrett Allen (CLE, C) vs WSH, Wed Oct 28, 7:10 PM ET. Scored the first basket in 18 of his last 59 games we track. FanDuel +550. Model pick, not a lock.

How to read this page

First basket rateGames he scored the game's first points, divided by games he played. A free throw counts, the same way FanDuel settles it.
Took the first shotGames he took the game's first shot. A player who gets the first look a lot is live even when his rate is low.
Team won the tipHow often his team won the opening jump ball this season, and the usual jumper's record.
FanDuel priceThe First Basket price when we built the page. Implied % is what the price says his chance is, the book's cut included.

Questions people ask

What is a first basket bet?

You pick the player who scores the first points of the game. Free throws count. If he doesn't score first, the bet loses.

How do you pick a first basket scorer?

Look for a starter whose team wins the tip often and who takes the first shot a lot, then compare his real rate to the FanDuel price. This page lines those up for every game tonight.

Does winning the tip matter?

Yes. The team that wins the opening tip gets the first possession, so it scores first more often. We show each team's tip record and its usual jumper.

When is this page updated?

Every hour on game days, from noon ET until the last tip. Players ruled Out are removed, and Questionable players are tagged.

Where do the numbers come from?

We count first baskets ourselves from ESPN's public NBA play-by-play. Prices come from FanDuel Sportsbook (Michigan) at build time.

Computed by Slip Surgeon from ESPN's public NBA play-by-play, regular season: 52 games of 2026-27 and 1234 of 2025-26.
