BetAlytics data is honing in on Brandon Ingram and Andrew Wiggins to record the first baskets tonight to kick off their NBA play-in tournament games. Ingram and Wiggins have the highest first shot % out of all players on the starting floor tonight, meaning these two get the first shot off the most amount of times. If you sort by season hit rate, Ingram also has the highest first basket hit rate out of all players (more than LeBron and Anthony Davis in this game). Both Wiggins and Ingram ended the regular season recording the basket in 2 of their last 5 games (20%), which is a high hit rate for this niche market.
