This season, it's been easier to predict which sleepers will produce. Follow the injury report, check out their minutes played, match-ups, etc.
The difficult part, selecting superstars who will go off and throw up big numbers that'll make you two-step into the money. That makes the bloated price you paid for them worth it, an exclamation of 10,000? No big deal, dude is going to drop at least 60. Unfortunately, it's never that easy.
Check out my Daily NBA picks for DraftKings, 11/22/15, and keep an eye on those who could have a huge night.

DraftKings Point Guards
Chris Paul (vs TOR, 8,600)
CP3 rises to the occasion, often playing better against top teams, in close games. In two games versus the Golden State Warriors this season, a team he and everyone else can't beat, he averaged nearly 30 points and close to ten assists. Paul hasn't exactly been trustworthy thus far. But against a Toronto Raptor team recently underachieving, expect a close game that Paul takes control of.
Brandon Knight (at NO, 7,500)
Knight always has potential to exceed his projection and sauté a scoresheet with multiple stats. He will likely be in a battle with both Jrue Holiday and Ish Smith, one that he should come out of victorious. Knight's been teetering around the 40 minutes played mark over his last three games and is simply sizzling. Always a triple-double threat, Knight is affordable and can become your best friend on any given night.
DraftKings Shooting Guards
Eric Bledsoe (at NO, 8,400)
The second Phoenix Sun to make the cut; a guard who shares a backcourt with his boy in the paragraph above. The two have excelled marvelously together in the desert, and there should never be worry about them losing minutes or points to each other. Bledsoe has scored over 20 points in his last seven games, and in all but three overall. He's also displayed some consistent thievery, picking up two steals in each of his last five games. Bledsoe is averaging over 40 fantasy points per game and could very well give your lineup a hefty boost.
Jamal Crawford (vs TOR, 5,000)
Even with J.J. Reddick returning to the lineup Friday night, Crawford still raked in an extra minute and outperformed the Duke Alumni. Although likely to share plenty of minutes with Reddick, Crawford's sixth-man role should not affect his performance on daily lineups. With the health of Paul and Reddick in question often, he could easily move back to a starting role. Regardless, he will fit in nicely anywhere, especially in your lineup, for an inexpensive price. Opponents of the Raptors are shooting 54.2% from the field this season, mouthwatering for someone who has attempted 72 shots in the past four games.
DraftKings Small Forwards
Jae Crowder (at BK, 5,600)
We're taking it down a notch at the 3-spot. Crowder is on the surprising first-place, Boston Celtics. However, besides Isiah Thomas, the Celtics lack true scoring threats. Crowder has come alive of late, averaging 16 points in the past three games, and shoots threes often. Crowder is a valuable asset especially in head-to-head contests, where he'll accumulate enough points, for his price, to reach and even exceed projection. The Nets relinquish an average of 9.8 threes and 104.6 points per night.
Danilo Gallinari (vs GS, 6,300)
Gallinari leads the Denver Nuggets in scoring and will look to dethrone the undefeated defending champs Sunday, for one night at least. It's been an every-other type of run for Gallinari, a recent game of hopscotch, single digit scoring to double, single to double. Starting the season, Gallinari scored in double digits in the first six games, but has yet to go back to back in over five contests. It's tough to trust inconsistency, but against the Warriors, Gallinari will need to step up if his team has any shot against the unbeatable.
DraftKings Power Forwards
Draymond Green (at DEN, 7,400)
Let's crank up the volume here and focus on the Warriors for a bit, since, you know, no one else is doing that. Green is the ultimate sprinkler of stats. In seven games this season, Green has had at least one tally in each point-getting category. The Denver Nuggets allow 33.7 rebounds a game, nothing too crazy, but definitely an opportunity for Green to flirt with another double-double, if not a triple-double. Even on nights when he doesn't score, he still finds plenty of ways to produce for daily lineups. Oh, and he plays for the Warriors, in case we missed that.
Thaddeus Young (vs BOS, 6,400)
Seeking revenge in the latter of a home-and-home, the Nets will look for a boost from their double-double machine. There really is no depth at Young's position in Brooklyn, ensuring a consistency of high minutes, field goal attempts (34 over the last two games) and rebound opportunities. He has scored double digits in all but one game this season. The Nets, despite their record, have been a surprisingly tough out this season, keeping Young on the floor. He is also a valuable head-to-head option.
DraftKings Center
Mason Plumlee (at LAL, 5,500)
Let's save some money here. When someone picks up six blocks in one game, it'll raise both my eyebrows. Plumlee is an affordable option, that will not only free up cap space but will provide your lineup with value in each category. The Lakers give up the sixth most points in the league, so we can expect a high-scoring game out west. They are also second to last in opponent field goal attempts, giving Plumlee a good chance to repeat his 18-point performance from Friday night against the Clippers.
