Welcome to NBA Sleeper Picks! Sleeper’s newest offering promised plenty of entertainment and action, and they delivered. We will break down our top three picks for tonight's NBA action. Similar to fantasy sports, the goal in Sleeper Picks is to draft a team of players based on who you think will perform better than the field. But with NBA Sleeper Picks, you pick teams of 2-8 players from multiple teams based on your preferences and predict whether those players will score more or less than a predetermined amount. There are a number of ways to play and a variety of strategies to employ, and we’ll guide you through the process each week. Here are our top NBA Sleeper Picks for today’s games.

NBA Sleeper Picks & Predictions (Thunder vs. Pacers): 6/13/25
Playoff record: 47-14
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (G – OKC): OVER 24.5 points (alt line)
It's been over 10 years since the league MVP won an NBA Championship in the same season, last accomplished by Steph Curry in 2014-15. SGA has a chance, and is expected to etch his name in the record books again when he hoists the Larry O'B later this month. Shai has scored 25 or more points in 14 of his last 16 games and has scored 31 or more in seven of his last eight. Slap the More on SGA for Thursday night's NBA action.
Jalen Williams (G/F – OKC): OVER 14.5 points (alt line)
Jalen finally got it going in Game 3, but a turnover-fueled loss has the Thunder in desperation mode as they try to save their season. The Thunder's big three are going to need to show up tonight, and Jalen's efficiency (or lack thereof) could make or break what is essentially a must-win game to avoid going down 3-1. Williams has scored 17 or more in three of his games this series. Jab the More on Jalen for Friday night's NBA action.
Chet Holmgren (F – OKC): OVER 9.5 points (alt line)
Chet impressed early in Game 3 but needs to provide a full 48 on both sides of the ball to help give the Thunder their best chance at winning tonight. Often too passive, Chet needs to assert himself early as a tone setter but needs to remain involved consistently, whether he needs to vocally demand it or not. Chet scored 15 or more in the last two games and in 10 of his last 11 playoff games. Clap the More on Chet for Friday night at Sleeper Picks.
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.
