Kyrie Irving (foot) questionable for Mavericks Friday
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (right foot soreness) is questionable for Friday against the Charlotte Hornets.
Irving sat out Wednesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors after being listed as questionable. It was his fourth absence in six games due to the foot issue. Josh Green will likely start next to Luka Doncic in the Mavericks' backcourt again if Irving remains out, while Jaden Hardy will have more minutes available off the bench. Doncic will also benefit from additional ball-handling responsibilities.
numberFire's models project Kyrie for 37.4 minutes and 43.8 FanDuel points on Friday. Luka led the way with a 38.2% usage rate on Wednesday and scored 61.9 FanDuel points in 41.1 minutes. Green had 23.8 FanDuel points in 36.4 minutes and Hardy scored 40.5 FanDuel points in 25.1 minutes.
