2024-25 NBA Draft Guide: Points League Sleepers

By Jacob Dunne Published October 8, 2024 Updated August 19, 2025 2 min read

In fantasy basketball points leagues, finding the right sleepers can be the key to unlocking a winning season. Sleepers are those players who can outperform their current draft position (ADP) by multiple rounds, providing excellent value and helping you build a more balanced and high-performing roster. This article is all about unearthing those hidden gems—players being drafted late or even going undrafted, yet poised to deliver significant returns.

While many think of sleepers as players from the later rounds, it’s important to remember that great value can be found throughout the draft. Whether it’s someone being taken several rounds later than their projected performance or a player who falls under the radar completely, we’ll cover all angles. My goal is to help you navigate your draft and assemble the most optimized roster possible. From middle-round steals to deep-draft flyers, I’ll guide you through the players who can help you crush your fantasy basketball draft and dominate your league.

Points League Sleepers

We’re seeking players who are undervalued in drafts, specifically those who may have multiple rounds of higher potential than their current average draft position. This helps us keep the list manageable. Generally, a one-round difference isn’t significant due to the natural fluctuations in performance from season to season, along with potential unforeseen improvements.

Next to each player’s name, you’ll find the platform where they are considered potential sleepers (Yahoo or ESPN). If they appear on both platforms, it will be indicated as (Yahoo, ESPN) or a similar variation.
