First basket props are a truly fun betting market if you are into a short, early sweat. Explore the process of researching first basket markets using Outlier in this guide.

What are First Basket Props?


These bets offer most players from both teams as options to make the first basket of the game. That first basket can happen at any time once the game has tipped off. It's all about the player who gets the first point.

Note: The First Basket can come from any kind of scoring, including free throws.

How to Research First Basket Props?

Step 1: Navigate to the Games tab.

Step 2: Click on the Games tab.

Step 3: Click on the More Wagers option.

Step 4: Proceed to Player Props. Notice the first market visible on this page is the first basket market.

Step 5: Click on the dropdown menu.

Step 6: Select the player to research. For instance, Jayson Tatum. The performance of Jayson Tatum in the first basket market will be displayed, showcasing data from his last five, ten, and twenty games, as well as the current and previous seasons.

From there you can add him directly to your Picks tab, then send that bet to your sports book of choice.


Once you understand how to access all of the data that's available to you within Outlier, executing your NBA Player Prop Strategy becomes an easier undertaking.
