All the stars are coming out for the Christmas Day slate, and that should lead to some truly exciting basketball. Who you want to pair up with your LeBron James free square on Sleeper is up to you, but there will be plenty of enticing options, for sure!
How Many Picks Should You Make?
Sleeper uses a dynamic multiplier system for picks. Thus, you’re able to hand-craft a contest that features the multiplier you’re comfortable with. We like to go with 3-leg or 4-leg entries, many of which feature multipliers between 5x and 11x of your entry fee.
If you think the Celtics will best the Lakers on Christmas, it might make sense to put a Jayson Tatum pick alongside your LeBron James free square. If you think reigning MVP Joel Embiid will continue to dominate, perhaps pick him to score 30+ points against the Heat on Christmas night. Luka Doncic is always a fun player to watch, with his points+rebounds+assists totals usually coming in around 54.5.
No matter how many picks you want to make, just make sure to get those contests finalized by tipoff at noon on Christmas Day!
