Thu Jun 13 | 09:35 | Kyrie Irving Puts Up 35 Points In Losing Effort |
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 35 points on 13-for-28 shooting in Wednesday's Game 3 loss to Boston. After amassing only 28 points across the first two games of the Finals, Irving had by far his best performance of the series, but the Mavericks still couldn't get a win on the board. Irving's efforts included a 4-for-6 record with the three-ball, three rebounds, and two assists. Dallas is now in huge trouble, as no team in NBA history has managed to win a playoff series from a 3-0 deficit. The team will be facing elimination in Game 4 on Friday, and we can expect to see Irving put in a big effort to help the team extend the series. |

Availability has been an issue for Irving during his first full year with the Mavs he's appeared in only 27 games but he's been a first-round nine-category fantasy player when on the court via averages of 25.2 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals.
