NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (4/3/24)

Season record: 191-123

Cade Cunningham (G – DET): OVER 6.5 1st quarter points 

Cade Cunningham continues to be the tone-setter for the Detroit Pistons, scoring seven or more first quarter points in four of his last five games and in seven of his last 10 overall. Two of the games he missed the mark in were against Miami. Cade's hot starts are critical for a young team trying to learn what it takes to win at the next level. Expect him to be aggressive to open tonight's game against Cleveland. Clap the More on Cade for Wednesday night.

Devin Booker (G – PHX): OVER 8.5 1st quarter points

Booker at 8.5 isn't pretty, but it's understandable given some of his recent first quarter outbursts. Booker has scored 10 or more first quarter points in five of his last six games, including a 24 point explosion on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Book has poured in eight or more first quarter points in 16 of his last 25, with two five consecutive streaks and the five in six mentioned above. Bump the More on Book for Wednesday night.

Jayson Tatum (F – BOS): OVER 6.5 1st quarter points

Tatum continues his strong starts for the Celtics, getting back on track in his last game after falling under the number in two straight. Tatum has been gearing up for the playoffs following his embarrassing showing against Denver, scoring seven or more points in seven of his last 10 games. He should look for another high volume first quarter tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a potential NBA Finals preview. Tap the More on Tatum for Wednesday 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.
