We have now seen each team play in the 2009 NBA playoffs. Here are four playoff fantasy basketball sleepers that could help you take home the NBA fantasy championship:
Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks
For much of this season, Josh Smith disappointed. He was either gimpy, unhappy or unmotivated. Whatever the case may have been, Smith is back at the top of his game and has a chance to be a fantasy beast in the playoffs.
Glen Davis, Boston Celtics
With Kevin Garnett out for the entire NBA playoffs, Glenn Davis is now the starting power forward for the Celtics. While he’s not nearly as good as Garnett, he’ll get a lot of minutes and he’s capable of putting numbers on the board.
J.J. Barea, Dallas Mavericks
The Mavs have a number of quality players but J.J. Barea is a sleeper who could decide how well Dallas does in the postseason. He’s been called the Puerto Rican Steve Nash and there’s good reason.
Shannon Brown, Los Angeles Lakers
Not long ago, Shannon Brown was deep on the bench for the Lakers. But after impressive play, Phil Jackson has moved Brown up the depth charts and now he’s playing a healthy amount of minutes as the backup point guard.
