Kyrie Irving (PG – BKN): $9,100 @ WAS
The Brooklyn Nets have a dream matchup ahead against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards rank 30th in defensive rating and 5th in pace, presenting a nice pacey opportunity in this contest coupled with a terrible defense. Kyrie absolutely erupted in yesterday’s contest, totaling 71.25 DraftKings points on the back of a 54-point performance. You probably can’t expect Kyrie to shoot 19-of-23 from the field again, but he will likely put together a strong performance in the game that currently leads the night in implied totals by a large margin.
