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 (5/14)
Tyrese Haliburton (G – IND): 2.5 threes (alt line)
Tyrese has found his stroke from deep. He has drained four or more long balls in three straight and is sure to have another high volume night from beyond the arc tonight. Halliburton has rightly come to the realization that he is going to need to be a scorer for the Pacers to pull off the upset in this series. Haliburton is the Pacers’ premier three point threat, so expect him to be bombs away as Indiana tries to go up 3-2. Tap the More on Tyrese for Tuesday night.
Pick: More
Aaron Gordon (F – DEN): 9.5 points (alt line)
Gordon has stepped up for Denver as they won back-to-back games to even up this series. He has scored 13 or more points in three straight, with two 20 plus point nights counted among those three. Gordon should hit 10 easily tonight, especially if he takes 10 plus field goal attempts for the third time in four games. Bump the More on Gordon for Game 5.
Pick: More
Anthony Edwards (G – MIN): 24.5 points (alt line)
Ant-Man has been excellent in the postseason, averaging 32.1 points per game on a tremendous .560 from the floor. He has scored 27 or more in all but one game of this series and should be good for at least another 30 piece tonight. The Timberwolves have no chance unless their superstar is aggressive and they can slow down Jamal Murray. Look for Edwards to take on the primary responsibility of both tonight. Press the More on Ant-Man for Game 5.
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.
