Kyrie Irving Taking A Seat Wednesday
6 months agoDallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. A left foot sprain will cost Irving his third contest of the campaign on the second end of a back-to-back set for Dallas. The 31-year-old superstar now sets his sights on Saturday's showdown with the Bucks in Milwaukee for a possible return. Irving is providing second-round numbers in 12-team 9-category leagues with 22.3 points, 6.7 assists, 2.8 triples, and 1.2 steals per game during his first full year in Dallas. Josh Green was the primary fantasy beneficiary when Kyrie missed Oct. 30 and Nov. 1, joining head coach Jason Kidd's starting lineup on those occasions. Wednesday's setting in Washington easily offers the highest implied point total (241.5) of the eight-game slate, making Luka Doncic a convincing bet to go off for one of his vintage performances.
