NBA Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (5/10/24)
Regular season record: 202-130
Playoff record: 22-27
Anthony Edwards (G – MIN): OVER 24.5 points (alt line)
Ant-Man has been incredible in the postseason, taking his game to another level while proving that he is more than just a regular season warrior. Edwards is averaging 32.3 points per game in the playoffs and has scored 27 or more in five of his six playoff games. He has scored 33 or more four times. There is also a 19.5 alt line available, but Ant-Man has been hot enough that the five point reduction to 24.5 should suffice. Hit the More on Edwards for Game 3.
Karl Anthony-Towns (F/C – MIN): OVER 14.5 points (alt line)
KAT has shown up in the semis, playing a key defensive role against the Joker and seeming more engaged on offense. KAT has scored 18 or more in five of his six playoff games and 20 or more in three straight. Wearing down Nikola Jokic on both ends is part of the game plan, so expect Towns to remain engaged as the series shifts to Minnesota. Tap the discounted alt line over the full total on Towns for Game 3.
Michael Porter Jr. (F – DEN): OVER 14.5 points (alt line)
MPJ had a poor night from the field in Game 2 but should bounce back tonight. MPJ has scored 19 or more points in six of his seven playoff games and is a good value at the original 16.5, but is a much safer play at 14.5, given his off night in Denver. The Nuggets are going to need Porter to help space the floor for a team struggling without any help off the bench. Mash the More on MPJ for Game 3.
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.
