My Picks for Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament

Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks: Higher than 0.5 points

This is a no-brainer. Even with Young struggling a bit when it comes to his scoring after returning from injury, he’s still going to score at least 1 point in a do-or-die playoff situation for his team. Take this discount and don’t look back!

Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers: Higher than 47.5 points+rebounds+assists

The reigning MVP has been dealing with an injury, but he’s back in a big way. He posted 56 and 52 points+rebounds+assists (PRA) in his last 2 outings heading into the Play-In Tournament. Now that the Sixers have a shot at the No. 7 seed (which would mean avoiding the No. 1 seed Boston Celtics), expect Embiid to be at his best. He should be able to rack up 48+ PRA tonight against Miami.

Dejounte Murray, Atlanta Hawks: Higher than 23.5 points

We just need Trae Young to score 1 point to take advantage of that free square for new users. But lately, Young has been more of a facilitator, doing more passing than scoring. Dejounte Murray has scored 24+ points in 2 of his last 3 games. With elimination at stake for the Hawks, look for Murray to get the ball early and often, dropping 24+ points on the Bulls as Young draws more attention from standout defender Alex Caruso.

How Many Picks Should You Make?

Sleeper has a dynamic multiplier system, so you can craft a contest with the multiplier you feel comfortable with. I usually prefer to make 3 or 4 picks, putting my multiplier somewhere in the 5x-10x range. But you can craft entries with multipliers of up to 100x if you so choose.

A contest with the 3 picks I detailed above would have a multiplier of 6.08x, meaning a $5 entry fee would net $30.40 if all 3 picks are correct.
