DraftKings: 3 fantasy sleepers for Jan. 12

Check out these three sleepers that can get your DraftKings daily fantasy lineup on track for the new year. There’s nine games tonight, and plenty of hidden gems to win your fantasy pool.

Jan. 12, 2018 has brought us the start of two fantastic things: The start of a three-day weekend and the start of nine NBA basketball games. With a whopping 18 teams in action tonight, there’s bound to be a couple hidden sleepers for the fantasy players out there.

Like any part of the middle of the NBA, injuries are becoming a big part of daily fantasy lineups. Players are getting knocked from the grind of the season and giving cheaper, less experienced players a chance to get more fantasy points than they usually do.

Just for fun, here are a couple of players that might have a great game tonight that are way too expensive to be sleepers: Victor Oladipo, who loves a big game, is going against the Cavaliers, one of the worst defenses in the league; Karl Anthony-Towns is going against the Knicks, who are notoriously bad in away games this season; and finally, Eric Gordon, who is going against a bottom-five defense in Phoenix and will be asked to run the bench unit with James Harden out.

You can’t go wrong with any of those three guys, but you’re still going to need some much cheaper players to make your roster the best it can be. So how about we get to those guys already?
