Player performance and review:

Kyrie Irving has been one of the top performers for the Boston Celtics this season. He is averaging just under 23 points per game this season, along with 5 rebounds and more than 6 assists a game.

His scoring numbers have taken a slight dip due to increased usage of his surrounding players, which has resulted in better numbers in the other areas.

In the loss against the Orlando Magic, Kyrie scored 25 points, along with 6 assists and 5 rebounds, 2 steals and a block.

Alternate pick: Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers)
