Kyrie Irving exploded for 45 points (15-30 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 10-10 FT), seven assists and six rebounds across 40 minutes in the Nets’ 121-111 overtime win against the Pistons on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Irving went off for his second-highest point total of the season and his highest since opening night, way back on Oct. 23 when he trounced Minnesota for a 50-spot. Health is certainly a lingering concern for fantasy owners rostering the Duke product, who is currently averaging career highs in points (26.1) and boards (5.2) to go with a generous 6.7 dimes per contest.
