The 2014 NBA Playoffs are not yet over but if you are an owner of a fantasy basketball team, chances are you have already started cooking up your plan for the fantasy team of the upcoming season. Here are 5 fantasy basketball sleepers for the upcoming season which could help you make the difference.

Mike Scott
Normally, one should get much affected by the playoffs, when it comes to fantasy basketball. The regular season is so much different than the postseason in the NBA. Nevertheless, the case of Mike Scott seems to be different. After being a non – factor for the biggest part of the 2013 – 2014 campaign, Mike Scott made headlines with his superb performance in the first round of the playoffs. The 25 – year old forward will most probably have a big role in the Atlanta Hawks’ rotation next season. He will see more minutes and thanks to the confidence he gained this season he could be a great steal for your fantasy team.

Nerlens Noel
Do you remember who was supposed to be the top pick in last year’s NBA Draft? The 7 – footer Nerlens Noel was heavily rumored to get selected at one of the top three spots but he eventually fell to No.6. Noel missed his entire rookie season due to a knee injury but he will most probably be back at his 100 percent next season. Noel can be a 10 PPG, 10 RPG and 55 FG% type of player and also one of the best sleepers you might find.

Greg Monroe
Greg Monroe is a great player but we already know that right? He finished the 2013 – 2014 season with 15.2 PPG, 9.3 RPG and 0.6 BLKPG. The catch here lies in the fact that the Detroit Pistons three pillars will no long exist next season. Monroe will be a restricted free agent this summer and the Detroit Pistons might seek a trade for him. Playing without Josh Smith and Andre Drummond on his side, Monroe could reach a whole other level with his performance. He could emerge as a star. Keep a close eye on him and the news about his potential trade.

Victor Oladipo
Michael Carter-Williams won the Rookie of the Year award but Victor Oladipo also made his presence felt. The 22 – year old guard still has much work to do and he has room for improvement in almost any aspect of his game. What Oladipo also showed, though, is that he is extremely talented. He is a leader figure and he has superstar talent. Look for him to be even better and record even greater numbers. A fantastic sleeper for your fantasy basketball team.

Lance Stephenson
I simply can’t form a fantasy basketball sleepers list and not include Lance Stephenson. He was Goran Dragic’s runner up for the Most Improved Player of the 2013-2014 and although he didn’t win the award, he took his performance to a whole different level. Stephenson is now a star and in fact, he is the co-leader of the Indiana Pacers alongside Paul George. As a fantasy owner, you should definitely keep him in your scope and try to add him in your fantasy team. I bet those of you who had him onboard this season were very happy with his outputs.
