DraftKings Salary: $8,700
Kyrie Irving's price is up after another strong performance last night, and at this salary, we are looking for 43.5 DraftKings points from him. Coincidentally, he has averaged 43.6 DraftKings points over his past five games, which is right in line with his salary-implied value.
That type of production is certainly attainable against a New York Knicks squad ranked in the bottom 10 in DraftKings points per game allowed to opposing point guards. Jarrett Jack was never known for his defense, and the idea of him trying to stay in front of Irving in Jack's age-34 season is hilarious and somewhat worrisome for the sake of Jack's ankles. A big offensive showing could definitely be coming for Irving, and he is a strong play in any format on a slate without a ton to pay up for outside of LeBron.
