NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (12/5)

Kevin Durant (F – PHX): 27.5 points

Durant continues to be a scorer extraordinaire in his age 35 season, averaging 31 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks on .512 shooting. He scored 28 or more points in nine straight before scoring ‘just’ 27 points against Memphis on Saturday. The number is high, but KD has been on a tear and averages well over the 28 needed for this total to hit. KD has scored 38 and 39 points in his two games against the Lakers this season. Tap the More on Durant for Tuesday night’s In Season Tournament quarterfinal action.

Pick: More

Jusuf Nurkic (C – PHX): 11.5 points

Nurkic has been solid in the middle for the Phoenix Suns this season, averaging 12.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. He has scored 14 or more points in each of his last three games and in six of his last nine. He will likely never have a point explosion this season, and his numbers may dip when Bradley Beal returns to the lineup, but for now, he should be good for 12-15 points a night. Tonight, he will face off against a Los Angeles Lakers team surrendering 22.11 points per game to the center position. Jab the More on Jusuf for Tuesday night’s action.
