Kyrie Irving to 'definitely' rest for Celtics before postseason
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving said he'll "definitely" rest down the stretch of the regular season.
"I’m definitely taking some games off before the playoffs," said Irving. "It just makes no sense to put emphasis on these regular-season games when you know you’re gearing up for some battles coming in the playoffs." Irving will play on Wednesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers, but there's a good chance he misses part of Boston's Saturday-Sunday back-to-back. They have another one on March 29-30, so Terry Rozier will likely draw some spot starts.
numberFire's models expect Kyrie to score 47.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday, at a cost of $10,500.
