Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Scores 10 points in return
Rotowire
Irving accumulated 10 points (3-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 win over the Grizzlies.
Irving was coming off his second missed game of the season with a shoulder injury, and his performance Tuesday suggests he's still not 100 percent. His fantasy managers don't have much to complain about, however, as he's produced top-15 value in nine-category formats so far while hitting 49.3 percent from the field.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Questionable Sunday vs. Portland
Rotowire
Irving is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Portland due to right shoulder soreness.
Irving could miss the second leg of Dallas' back-to-back set due to shoulder soreness. The star guard was able to suit up during Saturday's win over Utah, during which he posted 30 points (11-25 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and four steals across 36 minutes. If Irving is sidelined, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy should receive an uptick in minutes, especially if Luka Doncic (wrist) misses his sixth consecutive matchup.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Comes close to triple-double
Rotowire
Irving finished with 30 points (11-25 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and four steals across 36 minutes in Saturday's 106-94 win over the Jazz.
Irving came through every time the Mavericks needed him, but no bucket was bigger than a three-pointer when the Jazz were coming close to mounting a fourth-quarter comeback. The veteran point guard has been stepping his game up with Luka Doncic (wrist) sidelined, and he should continue to enjoy a sizable uptick in his usage rate until the star floor general is ready to return. Irving has scored at least 30 points in two of his last three appearances while reaching the 20-point plateau six times across his last eight contests.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Carries Dallas to victory
Rotowire
Irving racked up 32 points (11-28 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and six assists in 41 minutes during Monday's 129-119 victory over the Hawks.
Irving led the Mavericks in scoring in a game Dallas didn't have Klay Thompson (foot) or Luka Doncic (wrist). That situation allowed Irving to experience an uptick in his usage rate, and he backed that up by posting a strong stat line, including his third 30-point performance of the campaign. Irving should continue to experience an uptick in his fantasy numbers as long as Doncic remains sidelined, which should be the case Wednesday against the Knicks as well.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Questionable with illness
Rotowire
Irving (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.
Irving was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a concerning sign for fantasy managers. Luka Doncic (wrist) has already been ruled out, and both Klay Thompson (foot) and Quentin Grimes (illness) are in danger of missing this contest. If the Mavericks end up being very shorthanded, Jaden Hardy could become an intriguing streaming option.

Rotowire
Irving registered 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 110-93 victory over San Antonio.
Luka Doncic had a subpar stat line with 16 points, six rebounds and six assists, but Irving picked things up on offense and co-led the Mavs in scoring alongside Daniel Gafford, who also finished with 22 points. Irving looked good in his return to the hardwood following a one-game absence and should remain in a starting role -- and with a high usage rate and workload -- going forward if he stays healthy.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Ruled out for Thursday
Rotowire
Irving (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Irving was initially deemed questionable with a right shoulder strain, and the Mavs are going to be extremely cautious with the star guard, meaning Irving will miss a game for the first time in 2024-25. Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy, and Quentin Grimes are candidates to receive increased playing time in the absence of Irving, who will aim to return for the game against the Spurs on Saturday.

Irving delivered his best scoring performance of the season and carried the Mavs in this one, which is no small feat considering he plays alongside another elite player in Luka Doncic.

Irving has been a productive option in the Mavericks' offensive scheme, and while there's no doubt Luka Doncic is the absolute go-to option in that department, Irving's numbers have been very good in their own right. The veteran floor general has scored at least 27 points in four of his last six appearances, a span in which he's averaging 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest.

Rotowire
Irving finished Sunday's 108-85 victory over the Magic with 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes.
The Mavericks cruised in a 23-point blowout win over a depleted Orlando team, so they didn't need Irving to log heavy minutes. This was just the second time the star floor general played less than 30 minutes across his six appearances, but Irving should see something closer to his regular workload in Monday's matchup against the Pacers.
