Points explained
When a team scores in the basket, they receive two points and the ball goes to the other team. Shots scored outside the arch bring three points to the team, whereas a free throw gives one point.

Free throws are awarded to the opposite team when a foul is committed. Fouling a player awards the other team with two or three shots, depending on where the shot was taken. If it beyond the three-point arc, then he receives three shots.
However, other types of fouls accumulate during a half and they’re called “team fouls”. When a certain number is reached, the player receives the opportunity to make a free throw. If he scores, he gets to shoot again, but if he misses, the game continues.

First off why are players typically against First Quarter NBA Betting?
1) 12 minutes is an EXTREMELY short period of time. Sometimes what you thought would happen 'early' doesn't take shape until the second quarter
2) Basketball is a rhythm game, sometimes a player will need more time to shake off rust or get on the same page with teammates.
3) The lines can be very tight. There's not enough posessions to create separation early when teams simply feel each other out and trade baskets in the early going.
Very valid concerns, which means you need to be extremely selective. Here's my favorite times to use first quarter betting.
1) A home (or possibly road) favorite laying a BIG margin on the game line.
The Miami Heat were laying 11 points on the road yesterday in New Jersey, and LeBron was quoted in the media saying he wishes they could 'hit the sim button' in these late season games. That signals to me that the superstars will try to build an enormous lead in the early going to get rewarded with late bench minutes. Late bench minutes are disastrous in the second half if you laid a big number on the road.
So why not just play the First Half line?
Sometimes this will work, but remember that the Starters will play nearly a full 12 minutes in the first quarter. Sometimes you don't want to take chances with Mike Miller and Juwan Howard squandering the lead that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade created.
2) 2 high scoring teams that play virtually no defense
The Warriors at home immediately come to mind for a ton of first quarter scoring. It's a function of the amount of shots they take for one and also the amount of those shots that are 3 pointers. Since they are a volume shooting team, they will allow their opponent to also shoot volume shots early on the shot clock. Again, I want the full starters potential from the first quarter rather than the bench players in the second quarter which can be more of a variable.
3) An underdog who's timeline to hang with a better opponent is very short
The Detroit Pistons come to mind immediately here from yesterday's game in Boston. Detroit can normally put together a strong first quarter, but they are susceptible to weak scoring quarters thereafter to fall behind. Again back to the second quarter bench phenomenon.. Detroit is not very deep, so their starters will give them the best chance to play against a superior opponent.
