Player To Watch: Kyrie Irving

It will take a team effort for the Cavs to win against the Bucks if LeBron does end up sitting out, but it would be hard to imagine Cleveland winning without all of their injured players and without a strong game from Kyrie.

More from Behind the Buck Pass

He’s always been a fantastic scorer, but Kyrie is averaging a career-best 24.6 points per game this season to go along with 3.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.1 minutes per game. His defense may not be incredible or even good, but that might not matter much against Matthew “Three Points Total Over His Last Two Games” Dellavedova.

Kyrie gets it done from all over the floor. He’s converting 50.4 percent of his two-point attempts, 38.2 percent of his threes and 90.2 percent of his free throws thus far this season. Delly will have his hands full dealing with his former teammate.

Knowing the Bucks, in addition to Kyrie scoring a boatload some random player will do so as well. My money’s on Richard Jefferson.
