Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is replacing Grant Williams in the starting lineup on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Irving is returning from a six-game absence and reclaiming his spot in the starting lineup. It remains to be seen if the Mavericks will keep Irving on a minutes limit in his first game back, but there will be fewer opportunities available for Williams, Tim Hardaway Jr., Josh Green, and Jaden Hardy.
numberFire's models project Kyrie for 36.5 minutes and 44.6 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Mavericks' implied total (123.75) is tied for No. 1 out of 12 active teams today, while the game total (244.0) is the highest on the board.
