NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (5/27)

Jrue Holiday (G – BOS): 9.5 points (alt line)

Jrue has been a revelation in the Eastern Conference Finals, scoring 28 in a come-from-behind Game 1 win and continuing to be a force in Game 2 and 3, posting 15 and 14 points, respectively. The fact that he is still able to contribute at a high level when called upon is a major correlative reason as to why the Celtics are currently up three games to none and in complete control of this series. Look for Jrue to be aggressive again tonight as Boston looks to complete the sweep. Hit the More on Holiday for Game 4.

Pick: More

Jaylen Brown (G/F – BOS): 19.5 points (alt line)

Brown continues to be a difference maker for the Celtics but is getting a lot of help from the rest of the team. Still, the high pace is affording Jaylen the requisite volume he needs to hit 20 or more every night. Usually efficient from the floor, Brown has taken at least 18 shots in each game of this series. Look for Jaylen and Jrue Holiday to take it upon themselves to step on the Pacers’ necks and end this series in four. Jaylen has scored 24 or more points in every game of this series. Jab the More on Jaylen for Game 4.

Pick: More

Pascal Siakam (F – IND): 19.5 points (alt line)

Still worth a look at his initial total of 24.5, Siakam More is a gem at 19.5. He has scored 22 or more in each game of this series and should continue to do damage against a Boston team he is extremely familiar with. Look for Siakam to stay aggressive tonight as the Pacers look to fend off elimination. Press the More on Pascal for Game 4.

Pick: More

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.
