Kyrie Irving, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $8,600

Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers have the second-highest implied team total (115.25 points) on the slate tonight, as they take on the Orlando Magic. The over/under (221 points) is the third-highest on the slate, but the 9.5-point spread in this game is a bit concerning, as there is definitely some blowout risk. Irving has played better in positive game scripts this season, averaging 39.2 FanDuel points when Cleveland has been projected for at least 114 points.

He should also benefit from a matchup against Elfrid Payton and the Magic, who have allowed the fourth-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards. He had no trouble exploiting their defense in their last meeting, putting up 43.3 FanDuel points.

You might be best served to avoid Irving in cash formats due to the blowout risk in this game. If Orlando can keep it competitive though, the game script and matchup suggest that Irving could put up a huge performance.
