NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (11/19/24)
Regular season record: 32-19
Donovan Mitchell (G – CLE): OVER 6.5 1st quarter points
Donovan should be rearing to go after sitting out (rest) Sunday’s victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Mitchell's fast starts have been a driving force behind the Cavaliers 15-0 start. Donovan has scored seven or more first quarter points in five of his last seven and in eight of his last 11. Dap the More on Donovan for Tuesday night basketball.
Lauri Markkanen (F – UTA): UNDER 1.5 steals + blocks
For one reason or another, this line is still available at Sleeper Picks. Markkanen is streaky in swipes and is a poor shot blocker, especially when his length is taken into account. Lauri registered back-to-back two steal games, prompting this line to hit the board, but has recorded just one steal in the four games since. The low multiplier reflects the high hit probability. Light up the More on Lauri for Tuesday night at Sleeper Picks.
Jaylen Brown (G/F – BOS): OVER 19.5 points (alt line)
Brown continues his excellent play for the Celtics, averaging 25.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. His shooting percentage has been putrid, however, so he could threaten his career-high scoring average once he settles in and his percentage moves closer to the mean. Jaylen has sired 20 or more points in nine of his 10 games this season and has an excellent opportunity to do so again tonight against a Cleveland Cavaliers team allowing 20.73 points per game to opposing small forwards.
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.
