Kyrie Irving's hot hand from downtown is set to light up the scoreboard with more than 2.5 three-pointers against the Pacers.
The hardwood is set to sizzle as the Dallas Mavericks take on the Indiana Pacers, and all eyes are on Kyrie Irving's sharpshooting prowess from beyond the arc. The man has been a human torch this season, especially when it comes to draining threes. With the over/under line for Irving's three-pointers made sitting pretty at 2.5, let's dive into the digits and see why backing the over is the savvy play.
Irving has been a spectacle from deep, averaging 2.97 threes per game this season. That's nearly three swishes from the land of plenty each night he laces up. More telling is his performance on the road, where he's been dialing in from long distance, averaging 2.64 threes. This guy doesn't just shoot; he scores with the precision of a master archer in enemy territory.
But let's not just dwell on season averages. When we zoom in on more recent performances, the trend is as clear as the Mavericks' intentions to conquer the West. Over the last 20 games, Irving has upped the ante, averaging 3.1 threes per game, and he's eclipsed the 2.5 mark in 11 of those contests. If that isn't enough to convince you, the past 10 games have seen him maintain a steady 3.0 average from downtown, hitting the over in 5 games. That's a 50/50 split, and in the world of sports betting, that's a streak you ride until the wheels come off.
The past is prologue, they say, and in Irving's case, his performance has been a crescendo leading up to this moment. Over the last 5 games, he's continued to average 3.0 threes, and although he's only hit the over twice, the upward trend is as apparent as a neon sign in a dark alley. Each game is another opportunity for Kyrie to fine-tune his craft, and with his recent uptick, it's like he's been sharpening his three-point arrows just for this Pacers showdown.
Now, let's sprinkle in some context for the upcoming game. The Pacers' high-octane offense means they'll keep the scoreboard ticking, forcing the Mavs to respond in kind. And who better to answer the call than Irving, the Mavs' very own sharpshooter? With his backcourt partner in crime, Luka Doncic, drawing defenders like moths to a flame, Kyrie will find himself with just enough room to let it fly from deep. Plus, the Pacers' defense has been leaky against the three-ball, giving Irving even more reason to pull the trigger.
It's not just about hitting the over for the sake of it; it's about riding the wave of Irving's recent form and the matchup that beckons a barrage of threes. Betting the over on Irving's three-pointers made is like trusting the sun to rise; it's a natural phenomenon we've come to expect.
As the Mavericks and Pacers gear up for what's expected to be a shootout at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse corral, smart money says Irving will be doing plenty of damage from beyond the three-point line. The stage is set, the trends are in place, and Kyrie Irving is ready to rain down threes. So, are you ready to back the over on Irving's three-point magic? Because all signs point to a downtown festival where Irving is the headline act.
