The Mavericks head to Utah tonight to face the Jazz. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Dallas is a nine-point favorite and the game’s total is set at 230.5 points.

Let’s dig into my top Kyrie Irving prop to consider from this contest.

Kyrie Irving Points Ladder

25+ Points (-115)

30+ Points (+250)

35+ Points (+700)

If you’re never played a prop ladder before, allow me to explain. In betting, a ladder is when you make multiple bets on a single player’s props, hoping that said player is in for a huge performance. I think that might be the case this evening with Irving.

Irving has had some big scoring nights in recent weeks, managing to exceed 27 points in five of his last eight starts. That stretch includes a season-high 43 points versus the Nuggets this past Sunday. Irving’s hot start is obviously due to being a crucial piece of the Mavericks’ offensive attack — Irving owns a 25.3% usage rate — yet it’s more about how efficient he’s been to begin 2024-25. Irving is currently in possession of a career-best .661 true shooting rate, thanks primarily to him hitting a jaw-dropping 54.1% of his three-point attempts through 11 games.

This is also a great matchup. Utah sports the league’s fourth-worst defensive rating (117.6). The Jazz compound that by operating at the NBA’s seventh-fastest pace (101.2). That means a counting stat wonderland for all opponents of the team.
