Kyrie Irving, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $8,400

Kyrie Irving has all of the same factors James has going for him in this one, except he has seen even larger increases to his numbers in games with similar game script over the past two seasons.

In three games with at least a 115.5-point implied team total in the last two years, he has averaged 46.9 FanDuel points. That number drops to 37.5 in games with at least a 113.5-point total, which is still well above his average of 31.9 in all other games. In games with at least a 218-point over/under, he has averaged 37.8 FanDuel points.

Kyrie has also played much better with Love off the floor, averaging 38.2 FanDuel points without him over the past two seasons. His usage rate has spiked from 27.5% with Love to 34.1% without him this season, meaning his usage rate is higher than even LeBron's when Love is off the floor. Irving has also seen his FanDuel points per minute rise from 0.99 with Love to 1.17 without him.

Irving has averaged more FanDuel points in games with a 13-plus point spread than without over the past two seasons, meaning the possiblity of a blowout tonight -- the Cavs are a 12.5-point favorite -- shouldn't be overly concerning.
