Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (G – OKC): 24.5 points (alt line)
MVP. SGA strengthens his MVP case every time he hits the floor, and only an unfortunate injury should be able to stop his momentum for the award. Gilgeous-Alexander has been playing elite basketball and comes into tonight’s contest averaging 31.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game.

Domantas Sabonis (C – SAC): 0.5 double doubles
Domantas heads into tonight’s contest leading the NBA with 14.4 rebounds per game. His consistency on the boards makes his double double line a favorite here as Sabonis records double doubles at the highest clip in the league, setting a new NBA record with 77 just last season. The most he can achieve this season is 78, as he missed two games and had two others with under 10 rebounds. Domantas has recorded a double double in 16 straight and in 34 of his 36 games overall. Hit the More on Domantas for Tuesday night at Sleeper Picks.

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.
