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 (2/19)
LaMelo Ball (G – CHA): 19.5 points (alt line)
LaMelo Ball has been excellent for the Hornets this season. His efficiency isn’t pretty overall, but he shoots .505 on his two-point attempts and is averaging a robust 27.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. LaMelo has been dealing with an ankle injury but is listed as probable tonight. He has been consistent as a scorer in games he has finished recently, pouring in 20 or more points in 12 straight. Light up the More on LaMelo for Wednesday night at Sleeper Picks.
Pick: More
LeBron James (G/F – LAL): 19.5 points (alt line)
LeBron has looked rejuvenated since the Luka trade, scoring 29.3 points per game in his three contests since. Luka has been on a minutes restriction after an injury layoff but should be more involved tonight in what could be our first true glimpse of what the LBJ-Luka connection will really look like. LeBron scored 22 against Charlotte late last month. Light up the More on LeBron for Wednesday night basketball.
Pick: More
Mark Williams (C – CHA): 9.5 points (alt line)
Williams is finally back with the Hornets and is set to suit up tonight against the team he was almost traded to. Williams has been excellent when healthy this season and should be out for blood tonight after the Lakers rescinded the trade due to ‘a failed physical’ when, in truth, GM Rob Pelinka simply had buyers remorse at all the assets he relinquished to acquire the talented but oft-injured center. Williams has scored 10 or more points in nine of his last 10 games, with two 30+ point outings and five of 20+. Work with the More on Williams for Wednesday night’s NBA action.
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.
