Kyrie Irving scores 27 points in win over the Rockets

Fantasy Impact:

Irving scored 27.0 points in the Mavericks’ win over the Rockets, making this his fifth consecutive game with more than 20.0 points and his fourteenth-straight game with at least 15.0. Although Irving’s scoring is down compared to last season’s averages, his production this month has been solid across the board, with him showing signs of being in mid-season form. Looking at his game logs over the years, he has historically increased his production as the season has progressed, which should bode well for all fantasy managers in season-long leagues. Irving’s price point is starting to creep up, but it is still palatable for those looking to play him in daily formats. He has a usage rate of 28.0 percent, a plus-minus of 1.4, and is averaging 33.2 minutes, 24.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the floor and 39.0 percent from beyond the arc.
