Once again, a full-timer now, Kyrie has been shooting the lights out every time he has suited up for the Brooklyn Nets.
Irving is averaging 38.7 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 5.7APG, 2.0 SPG since the All-Star break. He has been cleared to participate in all home games and will look to carry his form into the playoffs.
The 30-year old also set a career-high and a Nets franchise high with 60 points last month. The return of Kevin Durant from injury has increased their chances of making the playoffs.
The Brooklyn Nets will try to avoid the Eastern Conference Play-in tournament. Playing together, Kyrie and KD will be crucial to their playoff success.
