NBA Daily Notes: Paul George - MVP? ; Top fantasy picks for December 23rd

PG 2 - Kyrie Irving (Boston Celtics):

The Boston Celtics are in a bit of a rut recently, having lost the last 3 matches in a row. They are currently 18-13 to start the season and are occupying the 5th place in the Eastern Conference, 5 games behind the top seed, Toronto Raptors.

They have won the last 7 out of 10 games and lost their last game to the Milwaukee Bucks, 107-120. A lot of their recent form is due to the amazing form their point guard, Kyrie Irving, is in.

Boston Celtics have lost 3 in a row now

Kyrie started off the 2018-19 NBA season really slow, but has become his usual amazing self again. He has been stupendous for the Celtics, averaging 23 points per game, with more than 6 assists and 5 rebounds per game.

In his last match against the Bucks, he scored only 15 points off just 35% shooting, marking an uncharacteristic bad shooting night for Kyrie. He managed to grab 9 rebounds and make 7 assists, atleast making up for the lack of shooting.

The Celtics would want to end this losing streak and Kyrie will an integral piece in making it happen tomorrow against the Charlotte Hornets.

Alternate pick: Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers)
