Kyrie Irving best prop bets for Mavericks vs. Pelicans

The Dallas Mavericks have seen an immense roster shake-up not only from the stunning Luka Doncic trade before the deadline, but also due to a string of injuries to frontcourt players. Yet, the Mavericks will try and remain afloat as the current eight-seed in the NBA’s Western Conference.

Tonight, Kyrie Irving and the Mavs face a lowly New Orleans Pelicans squad. Here’s the top prop options on DraftKings Sportsbook for Irving in tonight’s game.

Best Kyrie Irving prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

For tonight’s game, Irving’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook sit at 26.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His PTS + REB + AST O/U sits at 38.5.

The Pelicans are a poor opponent given their 13-42 record. Irving can absolutely take advantage of this as the main option for Dallas tonight, so the over on his points prop could make sense at -125 odds. The star point guard eclipsed the 26.5-point mark in two of three games since Doncic was traded, while New Orleans ranks second-to-last in defensive rating on the campaign.

Another option for NBA bettors is under 11.5 AST + REB at -110 odds. Irving has gone under this line in 32 of 44 appearances this season, and with his lob threats Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford all out, assists may be harder to come by. Plus, Irving should come out of the gate looking to score tonight, which means fewer assists, too.
