NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (12/2/24)
Regular season record: 46-29
Jimmy Butler (G/F – MIA): OVER 14.5 points (alt line)
Butler has been solid for the Heat this season, averaging 18.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. The line today is set at a compelling 17.5, but we are going to tease it down to the 14.5 alt line. Jimmy has scored 15 or more in 11 of his 14 games this season but has hit 18 or more in just eight of 14. Jimmy will not want fit motivation against the Boston Celtics and should be aggressive enough from the field to comfortably hit the 15. Bump the More on Butler for Monday night basketball.
Josh Giddey (G/F – CHI): OVER 5.5 assists
Giddey has impressed as a playmaker for the Chicago Bulls this season, dishing out a surprising 6.7 assists per game. Giddey has recorded eight or more assists in four of his last five contests and in five of his last seven. He has registered at least six assists in 15 of his 21 contests and has an excellent opportunity to do so again against a Brooklyn Nets team he put up eight assists against back on November 1st. Grab the More on Giddey for Monday night at Sleeper Picks.
De'Andre Hunter (F – ATL): OVER 9.5 points (alt line)
Hunter has been solid for the Hawks when he has been on the court this season, averaging 18.2 points per game despite coming off the bench for much of the year. Hunter has scored 10 or more points in nine of his 10 games this season and should score at least that much tonight against a depleted New Orleans Hornets team. Hit the More on Hunter for Monday night's action.
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.
