NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (12/10/24)
Regular season record: 60-32
Damian Lillard (G – MIL): OVER 19.5 points (alt line)
Lillard has been excellent for the Bucks this season, averaging 25.2 points and 7.5 assists per game on .450 shooting. He has scored 20 or more points in eight of his last nine games and is in an excellent position to do again tonight against an Orlando Magic team surrendering 24.42 points per game to the point guard position. Light up the More on Lillard for Tuesday night at Sleeper Picks.
Kyrie Irving (G – DAL): OVER 19.5 points (alt line)
Kyrie has been solid this season, averaging 24.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. Outside of a putrid shooting night against Memphis, Kyrie has been excellent as option 1b for the Mavericks. He has scored 23 or more points in six of his last seven games and has scored 20 or more in 16 of his 22. Kyrie should not lack motivation tonight due to squaring off against superstar point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and should score at least 20 tonight against a Thunder team he scored 23 on a few weeks ago. OKC has allowed 21.35 points per game to the point guard position. Tap the More on Kyrie for Tuesday night's action.
Jalen Suggs (G – ORL): OVER 14.5 points (alt line)
Suggs is enjoying an expanded role due to the injuries to Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, scoring 22 or more points in each of his last two games. Suggs was efficient in those two contests, so we will take a beat before we even entertain tackling the full total of 20.5. With that said, Suggs should be good for at least 15 tonight against a Milwaukee Bucks team relinquishing a league-high 28.29 points per game to the point guard position. Slap the More on Suggs for Tuesday 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.
