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.

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 (2/11)
Tyrese Maxey (G – PHI): 24.5 points (alt line)
Maxey continues to fill it up for the 76ers, scoring 27 or more points in each of his last 18 games. Tyrese should continue to get all the volume he can handle and has hoisted up 20+ shots per game, even with Joel Embiid back with the team. Mash the More on Maxey for Tuesday night basketball.
Pick: More
Cade Cunningham (G – DET): 19.5 points (alt line)
NBA all-star Cade Cunningham finally gets the recognition he deserves from the NBA community and will, in all likelihood, be looking to enter the all-star break on a high note. Cade fell under 20 points for the first time in 15 games against Charlotte but should bounce back tonight, as the 17 field goal attempts on Sunday was his lowest count in 13 contests. Cade dropped 22 points on the Bulls just five games ago. Clap the More on Cade for Tuesday night’s NBA action.
Pick: More
Coby White (G – CHI): 19.5 points (alt line)
Coby has been rolling over the last five games, scoring at least 20 points in each. We all expected him to see more volume with Zach LaVine traded to Sacramento, but the biggest difference so far has been his aggressiveness in getting to the charity stripe. Coby dropped 22 on the Pistons just four games ago. Hit the More on Coby 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.
