NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (2/21/25)
Regular season record: 162-53
Domantas Sabonis (C – SAC): OVER 0.5 double doubles
Domantas has been excellent on the boards this season and comes into tonight's contest averaging 14.6 rebounds per game. He leads the league with 49 double doubles, failing to record at least 10 and 10 in just three of his 52 games played. Sabonis had his consecutive double double streak snapped against OKC back at the start of the month but is back up to a seven game streak capped by a 28 rebound (his second of the season) performance right before the all-star break against the New Orleans Pelicans. Dap the More on Domantas for Friday night's NBA action.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (G – OKC): OVER 24.5 points (alt line)
SGA failed to hit 25 points for the first time in 23 games against the Minnesota Timberwolves right before the all-star break. He should get back on track tonight against a Utah Jazz team he has poured in 26 and 54 points on in his two games against them this season. Slap the More on SGA for Friday night at Sleeper Picks.
Scottie Barnes (G/F – TOR): OVER 14.5 points (alt line)
Scottie is listed at 20.5 on the full line tonight, but that is a number he has hit just once in his past three games. The alt line has some appeal despite the low multiplier, as Scottie has scored 15 or more points in 16 of his last 17 games. Barnes has registered 16 or more points in three of the four games he has played against the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. Slap the More on Scottie for Friday 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.
