Kyrie Irving drops 35 points in win over PelicansFebruary 22, 2025 | 06:47 AM

Kyrie Irving led the Mavericks to a 111-103 victory over New Orleans on Friday, finishing with 35 points (11-of-22 FG, 5-of-11 3PT, 8-of-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists, and one block in 37 minutes. Writer's Analysis: After missing Dallas' final game before the All-Star break with a sore right shoulder, Irving showed no signs of limitation, delivering his third straight 30-point performance. Since the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic, he has been an elite fantasy producer, averaging 28.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 3.2 three-pointers while shooting 47.2% from the field and 92.3% from the line over his last six games. That production has translated to top-5 value in both eight- and nine-category formats. He'll look to keep rolling when Dallas faces Golden State on Sunday.
