Yabusele minutes on the line for game one- Prop 7

Back in action and the first thing to fall before the tip of the Philly vs. Boston game are the first prop bets of the season.

We have two solid games albeit with pretty predictable outcomes, but in the world of props predictable outcomes are a bit more limited so here are the first props of the season.

  1. Patrick McCaw realizes less than 10 minutes into the season that he is making the worst mistake of his career and instantly signs a 2 year deal.
  2. Golden State says enough is enough in game 1 and scores 100 points before the 3rd quarter has even finished.
  3. Russell walks into the game wearing his self-branded clothing to launch his self-promotion to the highest levels we have ever seen.
  4. Gordon Hayward decides not to jinx himself in game 1 this season and sits out the entire first game.
  5. Simmons against all odds hits a 3 pointer in game 1 and immediately becomes eligible for the JBL Three-Point Contest.
  6. Total of Simmons dunks and Covington steals versus Smart steals and Brown 3 pointers made.
  7. Going real deep we look at Yabusele minutes versus Al Horford free throw attempts
  8. Jerami Grant’s points plus Pizza Felton’s minutes is less than the number of FGA by Paul George.
  9. Total fouls greater than 40 combined between Golden State and Oklahoma City including 1 technical foul.
  10. Klay and Durant vs. any two players from game 1 from OKC, Boston or Philly.

Bonus prop: We see at least 1 ejection from 1 of the 4 teams on Tuesday.

Welcome to the 2018–2019 season. Stay tuned to more prop bets through the season.
