Maximize your success on platforms like Sleeper and Underdog by using sharp NBA player projections for today's slate. Look to the OVER for players capitalizing on NBA injury opportunities, such as Grayson Allen (over 19.5 Points + Rebounds), who is performing at a high level in Phoenix's adjusted NBA lineup. The recent volume and hot shooting make this a key target. Also, back proven production with the OVER for Evan Mobley (over 29.5 Points + Rebounds), returning to the court after resting. Finally, consider the UNDER for Ace Bailey (under 17.5 Points + Rebounds). Despite a recent spike, his overall NBA player stats and a difficult defensive matchup suggest restraint.

Indiana Pacers vs. Phoenix Suns: Grayson Allen to record over 19.5 points + rebounds, Sleeper, 1.30 PM CT
Allen is going through a hot streak and has been the perfect replacement for Jalen Green (hamstring). His 42-point effort against the Pelicans on Monday was an eye-popping performance after setting a new franchise record for more three-pointers made in a single game, and he followed that up with a 23-point performance in a win over the Mavericks on Wednesday. This will be the second leg of a back-to-back set, but Allen should be able to deliver another impressive outing if he continues to ride his hot hand. Allen has recorded at least 20 points + rebounds in five of his last six games, so his body of work suggests he might be able to keep his impressive stretch of play alive for another game.

Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: Evan Mobley to record 29.5 points + rebounds, Underdog, 1.30 PM CT
Mobley didn't play Wednesday in the first leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set against the Heat, but he's been cleared and will be available to face the Raptors in what figures to be another favorable matchup for Cleveland. Mobley, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, has been getting the job done on offense as well. The star forward is averaging 20.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers through 11 games. If he's able to play to the tune of his season averages, he shouldn't have significant problems hitting this line against a Raptors team that's not entirely known for its defense. Mobley has also hit this 29.5 P+R+A line in seven of his last eight games -- the lone exception was a 14-point, eight-rebound, five-assist outing (27 P+R+A) against the Hawks on Nov. 2.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Utah Jazz: Ace Bailey to record under 17.5 points + rebounds, Pick6, 1.30 PM CT
Bailey is coming off his best performance as a pro the last time out, as he ended with 20 points and four rebounds in a 152-128 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. The rookie has started the last two games for the Jazz and has scored in double digits in three straight contests, but it's hard to make too much out of those outings. During that three-game stretch, Bailey has shot 48.4 percent from the floor and 40 percent from three-point range while averaging 10.3 shots per game. The Hawks have several proven wing defenders, including one of the best on-ball defenders in the NBA, Dyson Daniels, so Bailey might find it hard to make a big impact on offense. He's failed to score in double digits in eight of his 11 contests this season, and he's achieved more than 18 P+R just once all season long. The body of work isn't positive for Bailey -- even if he's trending in the right direction of late.
