Welcome to Sleeper Picks. Sleeper’s newest offering promised plenty of entertainment and action, and they delivered. We will break down our top three picks for tonight’s NBA action. Sleeper is quickly becoming one of the most popular season-long fantasy platforms, and they are expanding into other areas based on demand. Each week in this space, we’ll talk about some strategy for the new platform while providing our favorite NBA more/less picks.
NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (11/11)
Jaylen Brown (G/F – BOS): 19.5 points (alt line)
Jaylen returned from his four game absence on Sunday but put up a season low in points, falling under the 20 point mark for the first time all season. Brown is averaging 24.0 points per game on the season and could see an expanded role tonight with Jayson Tatum (ankle) listed as day-to-day. Brown will have the added benefit of squaring off against an Atlanta Falcons team that has relinquished a league high 26.47 points per game to the small forward position. Jab the More on Jaylen for Tuesday night basketball.
Pick: More
Cade Cunningham (G – DET): 19.5 points (alt line)
Cade Cunningham has taken another step forward this season. After a G-League level .416 shooting in his first two seasons, Cade improved to .449 last season. Through 11 games this season, Cade is shooting .472 from the field. He is averaging 23.1 points per game and has scored 20 or more in nine of his 11 contests. He scored 24 points against the Heat late last month and is in an excellent position to do so again tonight against a Heat team allowing 21.64 points per game to opposing point guards. Clap the More on Cade for Tuesday night’s action.
Pick: More
Karl Anthony-Towns (F/C – NYK): 19.5 points (alt line)
Towns has really picked up his play over his last six contests, scoring 21 or more in five of six and 30 or more in four of them. KAT is averaging 24.9 points per game after his recent scoring binge and averaged 29.6 during it. Tonight, KAT will face off against Joel Embiid, making his season debut, so look for Jalen Brunson to look to get his big man going early. Tap the More on Towns for Tuesday night at Sleeper Picks.
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.
