EDGE Analysis

While injuries may have curbed Irving's chances at an All-Star bid (reserves have yet to be voted on by coaches), the former Blue Devil played like an All-Star in Thursday's victory. After a pair of low-scoring performances against the Warriors and Nets, Irving rebounded to score at least 20 points for the fifth time in January. Having played just 15 games this season, Irving still has time to match his previous statistical thresholds.
