  • 162-135-18 6th Place
    • Gets hot late in victory
      Irving finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 101-90 win over the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Despite a sluggish start to the game, Irving delivered when it mattered, helping the Mavericks to an emphatic victory. Both he and Luka Doncic are at the peak of their powers at the moment. A repeat performance in Game 4 will see Dallas on the cusp of an impressive first-round victory.

    • Kyrie Irving scores 21 points despite slow start
      Kyrie Irving struggled early on Friday but still finished with 21 points (8-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and three triples against the Clippers in Game 3.

      Advice: Irving got off to an incredibly slow start in this game and entered halftime with just two points. He played well in both of the first two games of this series, but he didn’t get things going in Game 3 until after the break. His 19 second-half points were enough to allow Dallas to hang on and win this game despite a below average shooting night from Luka Doncic. They’ll look to take a 3-1 lead in the series in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Friday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Boosts offense in loss
      White tallied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

      Advice: White provided a boost on the offensive end of the court for Boston in a losing effort, handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists to go along with a pair of threes and concluding as one of three Celtics in double figures in scoring. White has pitched in nicely behind Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the first round, recording at least 13 points and four rebounds in both outings against Miami.

    • Kyrie Irving hits four triples, scores 23 points
      Kyrie Irving finished Tuesday’s 96-93 win over the Clippers with 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals, and four 3-pointers in 42 minutes.

      Advice: Irving and the Mavericks bounced back from a brutal Game 1 performance, evening the series at one game apiece. While his final stat line in Game 1 may have been more impressive, Irving was more impactful in Game 2. With Kawhi Leonard back in the Clippers lineup, Dallas can’t afford to start slowly. They did a better job competing from the start on Tuesday and now hold home-court advantage ahead of Friday’s Game 3 in Dallas. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:12 pm
       
    • Strong from deep in 30-point outing
      Irving ended with 31 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 loss to the Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Irving entered the postseason well-rested after sitting the final two games of the regular season, and while both he and Luka Doncic (33 points) had strong offensive showings, it wasn't enough to propel the Mavs over the Kawhi Leonard-less Clippers. Irving finishing with at least 30 points in 13 outings during the regular season, entering the playoffs with three or more threes in eight of his final 10 contests.

    • Kyrie Irving scores 31 points vs. Clippers
      Kyrie Irving racked up 31 points (10-of-18 FGs and 8-of-9 from the free throw line) alongside seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers.

      Advice: Irving only trailed Luka Doncic in points in Game 1. The Mavericks’ dynamic duo thrived but lacked support because of underwhelming performances from role players. Both stars should take on heavy workloads moving forward. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Drops 20 points in return
      White contributed 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 win over the Heat in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: White returned for the start of the postseason after missing Boston's final two games of the regular season with an ankle injury, crossing the 20-point mark while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and concluding as one of two players with 20 or more points in a Game 1 victory. White surpassed the 20-point mark in 19 games over the regular season, doing so for the first time since recording 22 points on March 28. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:16 pm
       
    • Derrick White scores 20 points vs. Heat Sunday
      Derrick White scored 20 points (6-of-10 FGs) in the Celtics’ Sunday win against the Heat. He also tallied three rebounds, four assists, and a block. White made four 3-pointers.

      Advice: Boston shared the sugar in Game 1 and White was surprisingly only second to Jayson Tatum in points among Celtics. All their starters are showing that they’re threats to explode on any given night. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:00 pm
       
    • Available for Game 1 on Sunday
      Irving (hamstring) is not on the official injury report and will be available for Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday.

      Advice: Irving didn't play in the Mavericks' final two games of the regular season because Dallas was already locked into its playoff matchup. He shouldn't have any limitations for the series opener against the Clippers on Sunday and should handle his regular high-usage role alongside Luka Doncic. Over his final 15 regular-season appearances, Irving averaged 26.8 points, 5.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 37.5 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:57 pm
