Fantasy Basketball: 5 sleepers to target

#2 Seth Curry

Boston Celtics v Philadelphia 76ers

Seth Curry will see an increase in minutes this year due to being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, which is why he is the No. 2 ranked fantasy basketball sleeper.

Curry averaged 24.6 minutes last season with Dallas where he put up 12.4 points per game. This year expect him to get closer to 30 minutes, similar to how J.J. Redick did when he was with the Sixers.

Seth Curry shot 45.2 percent from three last season, and he will be expecting more looks playing with the likes of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Curry is a great player to boost your fantasy basketball roster's shooting percentage. His current ADP is 133

#1 Fantasy basketball sleeper target: Lonzo Ball

New Orleans Pelicans v Los Angeles Lakers

In a season where he will no longer be the most talked-about Ball brother, Lonzo Ball tops the list on the fantasy basketball sleeper targets for the 2020-21 NBA season. Lonzo will likely record his best NBA season yet, and the Jrue Holiday trade will be one of the biggest reasons why. When Jrue was off the court, Lonzo's assist to turnover ratio went up 7.9 percent.

The 2017 second overall draft pick showed progress in his three-point shooting last season, shooting 37.5 percent from behind the arc. He needs to improve his mid-range ability, which is where Ball said he focused on this offseason. The 6 feet, 6 inches point guard shot just 26 percent from mid-range in the 2019-20 season.

Lonzo will also gain a huge benefit from playing a full season with Zion Williamson. Ball was already averaging seven assists a game, but expect that to increase with a healthy Zion to pass too. His current ADP is 63.7.
