NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (12/26)
Sabonis has been a walking double double for the Sacramento Kings this season. He has 24 double doubles in 28 games played and is slowly becoming a nightly triple double threat. Averaging 12.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, Sabonis has recorded three triple doubles in his last four games. Keep hammering this one in on all your tickets whenever available for as long as Sleeper Picks continues to offer it. Dap the More on Domantas for tonight’s slate.
Pick: More
Kawhi has been rolling for the Clippers, so much so that I was all in on the opening number of 27.5. 26.5, of course, is a much more appealing number. Kawhi has scored 27 or more in each of his last seven games, with one 27 and one 28, making the line drop all the more appreciated. Tonight, Kawhi will face off against a Charlotte Hornets team that has surrendered the fifth most points per game to the small forward position at 22.86 per contest. Los Angeles won’t let him play unless the hip injury will not be a hindrance and only if there is minimal risk of aggravation. If Kawhi is active tonight, tap the More.

Poole continues to be an inconsistent, inefficient shooter. When his shot is falling, he can drop 20+ with ease. When it’s not, he struggles badly. Poole has recorded 14 or fewer points in five of his last eight games and is squaring off against an Orlando Magic team that held him to 19 and 14 in their previous two meetings this year. Orlando has allowed the seventh fewest points per game to the shooting guard position this season. Shot selection is the only thing holding Poole back, so I am always a bit weary of less plays on the talented guard. However, probability, trends, and head-to-head data all suggest that the Less is indeed the play. Tap the Less on Poole for Tuesday night.
Pick: Less
Writers note: The lines are constantly changing on Sleeper (and sometimes expiring), so there is a high probability that one or all of the numbers may no longer be the same when you open your app. There are excellent values when they are first posted, with the only catch being that they are not all released at the same time. Vigilance could provide a solid return on investment this season, literally.
