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 (5/27)
Karl-Anthony Towns (F/C – NYK): 19.5 points (alt line)
Towns has stepped up in this series but shined the brightest in the fourth quarter of Game 3 when he dropped 20 of his 24 points to help the Knicks steal the victory from the Indiana Pacers and effectively keep the Knicks’ hopes alive. KAT has scored at least 20 points in all three games of this series and should be good for another 20 tonight. Tap the More on Towns for Tuesday night basketball.
Pick: More
Jalen Brunson (G – NYK): 19.5 points (alt line)
Brunson has battled foul trouble in this series but remains the Knicks’ most important player. Brunson hitting at least 20 points seems like a given at this point, especially after dropping 23 points in a foul-marred Game 3 in which he shot .333 from the field. Brunson will have the green light again tonight and will do everything in his power in hopes of helping tie this series at two games apiece. Brunson has scored 20 or more points in all three games of this series and in 13 of his 15 playoff games overall. Bump the More on Brunson for Tuesday night’s NBA action.
Pick: More
Pascal Siakam (F – IND): 14.5 points (alt line)
Siakam remains one of the most underrated players in the league, but showed the world once again that he can have big games in the biggest moments. The second best player on the Toronto Raptors’ NBA Championship team, Siakam single-handedly kept Indiana in Game 2, proving once again that he can be a star on a legit contender. Spicy P has dropped 17 or more points in each game of this series and in six games straight overall. Slap the More on Siakam 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.
