2024-25 NBA Fantasy Basketball Sleepers
What is NBASZN on PrizePicks?
NBASZN (pronounced NBA Season) is the season-long NBA game on PrizePicks, where you can pick more or less on a player’s projections for the entire 2024-25 regular season, including points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and 3-pointers made per game.
Although PrizePicks is known for its daily fantasy sports game, where you can win daily payouts, NBASZN lineups will be locked for the entirety of the 2024-25 regular season.
You can build your season-long Lineup with your favorite players or sleepers and sweat it all out for the entire season.
The NBASZN board will close on Tuesday, October 22, when the league tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET when the Boston Celtics host the New York Knicks.
Sacramento Kings G De’Aaron Fox 5.8 Assists Per Game — MORE
It was a disappointing end to the season for the Kings, who lost in the Play-In Tournament for the eighth seed. They reacted to their postseason disappointment by making a splash move in the offseason by acquiring DeMar DeRozan from the Chicago Bulls.
With this move, the Kings add another prolific scorer to help take some of the scoring load off of point guard De’Aaron Fox.
Fox has hit this SZN projection four of seven times in his career, but has gone less than 5.8 assists per game in two of the last three seasons. With DeRozan on board, you can expect Fox to do less scoring and more facilitating with a fantastic shooter on his squad.

Brooklyn Nets G Cam Thomas 24.4 Points Per Game — MORE
The Brooklyn Nets are in tank mode this season after moving Mikal Bridges to cross-city rival New York Knicks for a plethora of draft picks.
While Nets fans don’t have much to look forward to this season, they can look forward to Cam Thomas lighting up the scoreboard.
Thomas averaged 22.5 points per game last season and had the likes of Bridges and Spencer Dinwiddie share primary ball handling duties on the team.
With both of them gone, and the potential to move other pieces such as Dennis Schroder and Cam Johnson, Thomas has the greenest of green lights to let it fly as much as he wants this season.
Denver Nuggets F Michael Porter Jr. 3-Pointers Made Per Game
Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. will be asked to step up even more as the Denver Nuggets’ third scorer this season. And that means he should be in for a career-high in 3-pointers made.
The forward was the third-leading scorer on the team last year based on points per game at 15.8. But he’ll need to step up with the departures of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Jackson this season.
Porter Jr. will need to continue hitting 3-pointers at an elite clip of around 40 percent as he did last year, as well as taking a career-high in attempts to replace their production.
Los Angeles Clippers C Ivica Zubac Rebounds Per Game
Only once in his career has Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac gotten close to 10 rebounds per game, and that was in the 2022-23 season when he averaged 9.9 rebounds per game.
With the Clippers losing Paul George to the Philadelphia 76ers, that is about five rebounds per game that will need to be replaced.
In addition to the George departure, Mason Plumlee and Russell Westbrook have also departed Los Angeles. Both players averaged five rebounds a game. In total, that leaves 15 rebounds that will need to be replaced.
As the team’s best rebounder and likely to see more minutes this season, look for the Croatian to dominate the glass for the Clippers and see a career-best in rebounds.
