NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (2/7)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (G – OKC): 24.5 points (alt line)

SGA continues to roll for OKC and is expected to welcome some reinforcements in the form of the oft-injured Chet Holmgren. SGA will be all the way up for tonight’s matchup against his hometown team. The 50 point explosions should be over with Chet back, but the Raptors offer little in the way of defensive resistance in the backcourt, so anything is possible. SGA has scored 25 or more points in each of his last 18 games. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points against Toronto in his lone meeting against them this year. Slap the More on SGA for Friday night at Sleeper Picks.

Cade Cunningham (G – DET): 19.5 points (alt line)

Cade remains excellent for the Pistons and comes into tonight’s contest averaging 25.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. Cade has scored 20 or more points in each of his last 14 games. Cade dropped 22 on Philadelphia when he faced them earlier this season. Clap the More on Cade for Friday night’s NBA action.

Pick: More

Tyrese Maxey (G – PHI): 24.5 points (alt line)

Tyrese kept up his scoring streak with Joel Embiid back and should continue to see all the volume he wants for the 76ers. Maxey has scored 28 or more points in each of his last 16 games. Tyrese scored 32 and 28 points in his two games against the Pistons this season. Tap the More on Tyrese for Friday night basketball.

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.
