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 (11/27)
Karl-Anthony Towns (C – NYK): 19.5 points (alt line)
Towns continues his strong play for the New York Knicks. He is averaging a robust 26.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game thus far, both marks in line with his career highs. He has scored 21 or more points in 12 of his 16 games this season and is in an excellent position to do so again tonight against a Dallas Mavericks team surrendering the third most points per game to the center position at 25.82 per contest. Tap the More on Towns for Wednesday night at Sleeper Picks.
Pick: More
Domantas Sabonis (C – SAC): 0.5 double doubles
The automatic play here is always Sabonis double double. This is a line whose multiplier drops from nearly the instant it is released, so lock it in when you see it. It is always a play if Sabonis is active. Coming off a season with 77 double doubles, Domantas has recorded 15 straight double doubles, only missing the mark in the season opener. Slap the More on Sabonis for Wednesday night’s action.
Pick: More
Stephon Castle (G – SAS): 12.5 points
Castle matched his career high in points last night (23) and should be riding high after scoring 18 or more in three straight contests. His shot volume is up, and he is expected to remain aggressive tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. Castle poured in 22 points on just 12 shots against the Lakers a couple of weeks ago and should be able to hit tonight’s posted total of 12.5 (it was 13.5 yesterday) with relative ease. Clap the More on Castle for Wednesday night basketball.
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.
