Think you know who will score the first basket in one of the 11 NBA games being played on Jan. 21? If so, FanDuel Arizona’s First Basket Friday Promo may pay off even if the player you wager on doesn’t score the first basket.
Regardless of whether you win the bet, by opting-in before placing the bet, you’ll receive $1 in site credit for each three-pointer made by both teams up to $25.
In a promo open to new and existing FanDuel users, sports bettors must first opt-in to the offer before placing a pre-game, straight bet of at least $25 with cash on the first basket scorer in any of Friday’s games.
Bettors may wager on as many of Friday’s games as they choose, but only your first placed wager after opting-in will count towards the promotion. Any bonus resulting from 3-pointers made in the game will be credited with 72 hours of bet settlement. The site credit is non-withdrawable and expires seven days after receipt.

Games To Consider For FanDuel First Basket Promo
The Phoenix Suns aren’t in action on Friday, so you’ll have to look beyond selecting Devin Booker or one of his teammates to score a game’s first basket. There are plenty of other options, though. Here is a quick look at two of them.
Chicago Bulls Vs. Milwaukee Bucks
One of the premier games on Friday’s schedule has the defending NBA champion Bucks hosting the Bulls. The question, of course, is whether you think Giannis Antetokounmpo will score first, or if Chicago’s DeMar DeRozan will have the honors?
First Basket Odds From FanDuel
- Giannis Antetokounmpo +420
- Khris Middleton +600
- Nikola Vucevic +550
- Jrue Holiday +600
- DeMar DeRozan +650
- Bobby Portis +900
- Coby White +1000
- Grayson Allen +1100
- Ayo Dosunmu +1600
- Alfonzo McKinnie +1700
Even if that wager doesn’t cash, the Bucks and Bulls should make a good number of 3-pointers. Milwaukee has made more 3-pointers than any team in the league thanks to contributions from Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton, Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, and Antetokounmpo.
The Bulls aren’t quite as prolific beyond the arc, but the two teams combine to average 26 three-pointers a game, so you might well maximize your wager.
Detroit Pistons Vs. Utah Jazz
If you want a game that starts a bit later, the Jazz host the Pistons, and the Jazz are second in the league in 3-pointers this season. The Jazz average 14.9 three-pointers per game, compared to 14.3 per game for the Bucks.
Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, Rudy Gay, Joe Ingles, and Royce O’Neale give the Jazz a number of options to hit from deep. And the Pistons average 11.2 threes per game, so this is another strong option to maximize your wager.
