Kyrie Irving - CLE - G

I haven't seen any reports to suggest that the Cavs will be resting anyone Friday, but we should hear well before lineup lock.

Is today or tomorrow another rest day for him??

Would be picking up Len/Aminu

Up: Kyrie/Dieng Down: Kawhi

Hamstring problems aren't to mess around with. Easy to pull or tear when cramped. So it's probably wise management really.

Talk about being handled with kid gloves. Gets a "cramp", misses 3 games because of soreness. ESPN really screwed me to giving him an "0" for the IR. I used my last add an hour before. Could cost me two games if he doesn't play.

So we think he plays tonight? Also what about these assist? That's 10apg the last 7. That might be the most over a 7 game stretch in his career. Since he came back almost like he focused on that more. I see a slight up tick in the projections.

The #3 ranked player of the past two weeks. Whatever he did during those rest days, sign me up.

I remember when this guy used to block 3 times as many shots as he does now.....See if that works too.

I guess he heard me. He got like as many steals in two games as he had all year.

Kyrie + Dirk (UP) , Ariza + Porter (DOWN) h2h 11 Cat: DD + 3%. Need upgrade at SF position.

Oh my God regression to the mean is real!!!!!!

Leads the league in steals from the exact point people started complaining he doesn't steal the ball naymore. Ask and you shall receive

Dam he is going ham

Statistics FTW!

His steals are finally regressing up to the mean

But it's an indication of it happening probably with greater frequency going forward, especially possibly during fantasy playoffs.

at least December is better than it happening during fantasy playoffs

Out both nights on a back to back due to rest in December? What a load of bs.

haha low stl rate getting 6/6 votes...only 4 days late boys

I 2ND the comment on stealing the ball. Not close to previous years.

I remember when this guy actually used to steal the ball.

He's achieved better then that steal rate every single season of his career so not so delusional right? Either way I would probably make the move for butler. Better overall and better in the 2 categories that mean the most for you. Just need to keep in mind his injury history but I'm usually quite bullish on players that are questioned as being injury prone. If you are more wary of such guys thats understandable.

People are high on here. You all think that mappiah19 should NOT trade kyrie for butler? Maybe your confusion is driven by the delusional projections for assist and stl rate that kyrie has. Those need to be bumped down hard. Kyle Korver, yes kyle ride the bench korver, is getting more stls at a higher rate than kyrie this year

Will he raise his assists/steals up to projections?

In a 10 team, 10 cat Roto (FTM) league. Should I make an offer to trade my Kyrie Irving for Jimmy Butler? I need help with FTM, STL. Butler will help me with FTM, STL.

He's going to miss 7-10 games this year for maintenance. Unfortunately, for fantasy owners, the Cavs can afford that in the East - so it will happen. However, I think a major injury risk is overplayed. For what it is worth, I just took Irving at pick 18 in my big money league and am thrilled. I think he is poised to kill it this year after leading the USA team this summer.

How risky do we feel Kyrie is in terms of injury? I have third pick in an 8 cat roto and was thinking of pairing him with Durant if he falls to my second pick (16)
