The tip data shows a clear advantage for the Suns on Wednesday. They currently rank first in the league in tip percentage, thanks to Jusuf Nurkic getting two-thirds of his jumps. While the Suns dont have a great first bucket percentage, considering all their tip wins just 51.5% its far better than the Clippers. The Clippers rank 29th in the league in getting the first field goal at 31.3%. Lets lean to a Suns player as a result. <\/p>\n
With Kevin Durant out, a lot of the early action went to Nurkic himself and Bradley Beal. However, when you take a look at the first buckets that the Clippers are conceding as of late, its all on the outside shot. While Nurkic could always pull up from outside, I like Beals chance to get on the board first. <\/p>\n
First FG Bet for January 3: Bradley Beal (+500) <\/p>\n

I mentioned that the Clippers were 29th in the league in getting the first bucket to fall. The only team worse than them is the Utah Jazz. At just 26.5%, the Jazz start three of every four games down a hoop. That doesnt bode well against the Pistons, who are fourth in the league with a 60.6% average. That number is also climbing with Jalen Duren back on the tip. Hes getting 70.6% of the jumps hes taken this year. <\/p>\n
Kevin Knox II sort of surprised everyone with a first bucket last game. He sprinted down the lane on a nice feed from Bojan Bogdanovic and sunk a floater. While he got things started on Monday, I dont expect the same on Wednesday. In fact, I like the man grabbing that assist last time out. Bogdanovic actually took the next two shots. He also had the first shot in the prior game as well. <\/p>\n
First FG Bet for January 3: Bojan Bogdanovic (+650) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
