The big NBA slates are buckets of fun to be sure, but they also create a situation where there are a lot of plays to sort through when playing Sleeper’s pick’em contests. Fear not: Sleeper is giving us our typical Wednesday free square, this one being Jayson Tatum higher/lower than 0.5 points!
The format for Sleeper Fantasy daily fantasy is like other pick’em sites like PrizePicks; users simply need to predict whether a player will go higher or lower than their statistical target. The more picks you add to one entry, the greater the payout if you hit on every play on your card. And since Sleeper has one of the best DFS apps on the market, it is a great way to dive into NBA daily fantasy.

Jayson Tatum H/L 0.5 Points
This is THE marquee matchup of the early NBA season — the 76ers hosting the Celtics — and we want to get some action on this game for sure. What easier way is there to make that happen than playing Tatum to score at least 1 solitary point? The likelihood of Tatum hitting that is basically 100%, and the chances of him doing so on the first Boston possession are also pretty high up there. For those doubtful (who maybe have been living under a rock and have never heard of Jayson Tatum, or something), Tatum’s low output this season is 16 points, and last year it was 12.
Not much else needs to be said — lock in Tatum to go higher than 0.5 points to start off your Sleeper entry. It’s that easy.
Well, it’s that easy to start an entry. You will still need at least one more pick to submit, as Sleeper requires two-plus plays. Let’s head over to Stokastic’s NBA Pick’em Pro to find something good to pair with Tatum. The top EV pick on the board right now is Zach LaVine lower than 4.5 assists — which has a 53% chance of connecting but also a strong 1.87x multiplier. And just like that, we have ourselves a solid 3.3x Sleeper entry!
Make sure to explore the Sleeper Fantasy app as well. It allows you to invite friends to participate in pick’em leagues or compete in contests against the house. The platform provides a statistical target for a player, and your task is to choose between higher or lower. While beating your friends is always a hoot and a half, you can also gain an advantage over the house using this fantastic, user-friendly platform.
