Tipoff 10:00 pm EST Chase Center San Francisco, California Broadcast NBA TV <\/p>\n
The Magic were a team who I loved to bank on when Wendell Carter Jr. was on the tip. He was hot early and, even though hes cooled off a bit, is still getting tipoffs at a 60.0% clip. However, theyve moved him to the bench and promoted Goga Bitadze to the starting lineup and, as a result, the tipoff. On the season, Bitadze has won 13.6% of the tips hes had. That number would put him at half the average of the worst team in the league. When you combine that with the shooting of the Warriors, you have to lean to Golden State here. <\/p>\n
Jonathan Kuminga is pretty much only in the lineup in the place of the absent Draymond Green. However, hes found himself open plenty of times in the early game over the last three. He had four of their first ten points in Sundays game, so lets ride with him here. <\/p>\n
First FG Bet for January 2: Jonathan Kuminga (+500) <\/p>\n

You might look at the 25.8% tip percentage of the Kings worst in the league and assume that we should always lean away from them. However, their defense has held up extremely well early in the game. As a result, they actually have a 58.0% in the first field goal, which is good for seventh in the league. The Hornets might be noticably better on the tip, but are not converting anything. Their 38.7% first bucket percentage is good for 27th in the NBA. <\/p>\n
Going into Monday nights game, the last four first buckets conceded by the Hornets had been to big men. Their are only two guys who have taken one of the first three shots for the Kings in more than one of the last three games; DeAaron Fox who is notably not a big man and Domantas Sabonis. <\/p>\n
First FG Bet for January 2: Domantas Sabonis (+370) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
