First basket stats for every team

How it is counted

Every count comes from ESPN play-by-play of finished regular-season games: who won the opening tip, the first shot each team took, and who scored first. A game whose opening the play-by-play cannot show is left out of the tip and first shot counts, never counted as a miss. Starters are NBA.com's posted lineups where a team has one, otherwise our projected lineup, and each game says which.

Free throws count is the First Basket rule at bet365, FanDuel and Caesars; field goals only is the first field goal rule at DraftKings, BetMGM, Fanatics, BetRivers and betPARX, a different market. A player who does not start is void at all of them. Under 10 games, starts or jumps a count shows a dot a game; the percent and the rank of 30 start at 10. The likely jumper is tonight's starter with the most opening jumps; his record is a count, never a forecast.
