Kyrie Irving, PG, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Salary: $8,800

Kyrie Irving put up a dud last night, but he saw his minutes limited in a blowout win over the Orlando Magic. He had been playing much better as of late, averaging 43.6 DraftKings points over the three games prior to that one. He has upped his usage quite a bit lately as well, posting a 30.2% usage rate over his past five games, which is more in line with what people expected without Gordon Hayward.

Irving will look to put his dud from last night in his rear view mirror tonight, as the Boston Celtics take on an Atlanta Hawks team that bleeds points to the point guard position. Dennis Schroder is in consideration for worst defensive point guard in the league and was absolutely torched by Irving last year. He ranked 74th among 79 qualified point guards in defensive real plus-minus last season. Irving topped 40 actual points in two of his four meetings with the Hawks last season and averaged 50.5 DraftKings points in four games. He is a strong target in any format.
