The Dallas Mavericks shipped off Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie and picks to acquire Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets. The star guard will make his debut for the Mavericks tonight — but he won’t have Luka Doncic to help him out. Bettors looking for an edge on Wednesday’s Mavericks-Clippers game should tail this NBA player prop at DraftKings — the book has left a bit much value on the Kyrie Irving player prop markets.

Best Mavericks-Clippers NBA Player Prop | Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving Prop O/U 2.5 Turnovers
The Dallas Mavericks will need Kyrie Irving to put the team on his back tonight. Although Dallas scored a surprise upset win over the Utah Jazz without Doncic and Irving on Monday, they’ll face a much tougher opponent in the Los Angeles Clippers tonight. Don’t expect Irving’s debut to go smoothly.
Irving should draw a ridiculous usage rate tonight. Luka Doncic, his teammate, owns the second-highest usage rate in the NBA at 37.6%. That will leave plenty of touches to go around, plenty of which should end up going to Irving. He’ll play a role similar to the one played for the Brooklyn Nets without Kevin Durant, which saw his usage rate balloon up to 31%.

Irving has the unenviable task of working as the primary ball-handler with a team full of players he doesn’t know well. Miscommunications and a lack of familiarity could lead to a few extra passes ending up in the wrong hands, and Irving’s likely high-volume role will give the Clippers plenty of chances to steal from him. It’s surprising that the books are offering a turnover market for him tonight at all.
Bettors looking to fade Kyrie Irving tonight should head to DraftKings Sportsbook for the best price on his turnover props. They have the over priced at +110, slightly better than the +105 available at BetMGM. Readers yet to register at DraftKings can score $200 in bonus bets with a $5 wager — but only until Feb. 12!
