Kyrie Irving, PG, Boston Celtics

Price: $8,500

Kyrie Irving is coming off his second-best fantasy game of the season, having notched 57.9 FanDuel points in a soft matchup against Orlando on Sunday. His matchup doesn't get any tougher tonight as he's taking on the Los Angeles Lakers.

Leading the league in pace, the Lakers are allowing the 4th-most points, 4th-most rebounds, 13th-most assists and 9th-most steals per game -- marks that bode well for Irving and his per-game clips of 24.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals.

The Lakers also allow top-11 numbers in points per possession in transition, against isolation and against pick-and-roll ball-handlers -- play types that make up 58.6% of Irving's offensive possessions this season, making this matchup an especially strong one for Kyrie.
