Kyrie Irving scores 39 as Celtics come back versus Suns
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving scored 39 points (13-of-28 field goals, 6-of-13 3-pointers, 7-of-7 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 3 turnovers in 43.3 minutes of a 116-109 overtime victory against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.
Irving scored 18 points in the fourth quarter and overtime to help the Celtics overcome what was a 15-point deficit after three frames. The underwhelming start appears to be a thing of the past, as he has 28-plus in four of the past five games. He will look to keep it going on the road versus the Utah Jazz on Friday.
Kyrie finished with a season-high 65.4 FanDuel points on Thursday. numberFire's models project him for 34.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $8,500 versus the Jazz.
