NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (12/14/23)

Season record: 63-41

Domantas Sabonis (C – SAC): OVER 0.5 double doubles 

Sleeper Picks may remove this total as an option at some point this season, so take advantage as much as you can, when you can, while you can. Sabonis has recorded a double double in 18 of his 22 games this season and is averaging 18.5 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game. Sabonis was electric against the Thunder earlier this season, recording a triple double with 17 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists. Oklahoma City surrenders the second most rebounds per game to the center position at 16.58 per contest. This is a total to lock in as soon as you see it, regardless of opponent, in the future in order to get the highest multiplier possible. Slap the More on Sabonis for Thursday night.

Kawhi Leonard (G/F – LAC): OVER 27.5 points

Kawhi has recorded 31 or more points in each of his last three games. He has established himself as the number one option on the Los Angeles Clippers and should continue to thrive with James Harden in the lineup. He scored just 20 and 23 points against the Warriors earlier this season, but that was when the Clippers were still trying to find their way with the new addition to their lineup. This More play is all about Kawhi's recent strong play and Draymond Green being suspended indefinitely. Tap the More on Kawhi for tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Luka Doncic (G – DAL): OVER 9.5 assists

Luka continues to play at an MVP-caliber pace, averaging 32 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game. However, his assist numbers jump to 12.2 a game when Kyrie Irving is sidelined. With Irving in a walking boot and spotted using crutches, there is currently no timetable for his return. This makes the More an excellent option for tonight's slate. Luka will, of course, need his teammates to connect on their shots, but with 10 or more assists in four of his last five games, they should be able to score enough to help Luka record at least 10 dimes. Bump the More on Luka for Thursday night.

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.
