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 (3/3)
Davion Mitchell (G – MIA): 3.5 assists (alt line)
Davion has been an impact addition for the Miami Heat after coming over from the Toronto Raptors for P.J. Tucker (who was subsequently waived), a second round pick, and cash. He has topped 30 minutes of action in seven of his nine games in a Heat uniform and has handed out five or more assists in four of his last five. The full line of 4.5 has some obvious appeal, but we will take the extra cushion in exchange for some of the multiplier. Dap the More on Davion for Monday night basketball.
Pick: More
Cade Cunningham (G – DET): 19.5 points (alt line)
Cade has been locked in since the all-star break and will look to find more success tonight against the Utah Jazz. He has had some uncharacteristically tamed scoring outputs in his last two games but should be able to bounce back against a Jazz team he has scored 33 on earlier this season. Cade has scored 20 or more points in 20 of his last 23. Clap the More on Cade for Monday night’s NBA action.
Pick: More
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (G – OKC): 24.5 points (alt line)
SGA has continued to play at an elite level since the all-star break. He has scored 25 or more points in 27 of his last 29 games and should be good for at least that many tonight against a Houston Rockets team he dropped 29 and 32 points on in their two matchups this season. SGA shot a combined .518 from the field in those two meetings. Slap the More on SGA for Monday 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.
