Kyrie Irving, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $9,100

This one will be contingent on LeBron James' health, so keep an eye on the news, as James is currently listed as questionable with strep throat. Kevin Love and J.R. Smith are also still out for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and tonight could very well be the Kyrie Irving show once again.

With that trio out on on Saturday, Irving posted 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, good for 55.3 FanDuel points in 34 minutes of action with a huge 41.8% usage rate. That usage also looks to be sustainable if LeBron sits again. In 173 minutes played with Love, Smith, and James all off the floor this season, Irving's usage rate sits at 43.9%, per NBAWowy.

If James plays or Irving can't go, Isaiah Thomas ($9,300) is a fairly easy swap, playing the same position for only $200 more. Thomas has topped 40 FanDuel points in 11 of his last 15 games and draws a good matchup against an Atlanta Hawks team that has allowed above-average fantasy production to opposing point guards this season.
