KYRIE IRVING NEWS

Erupts for 50-point performance Irving went off for 50 points (15-19 FG, 9-12 3Pt, 11-13 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 132-121 win over the Hornets.

Impact Iriving was absolutely unstoppable Tuesday and carried the team in a tough matchup with an efficient scoring output that saw him miss just four of his 19 field-goal attempts. It's worth noting Irving came through in the clutch at the moment the Nets needed him the most, as Kevin Durant had a below-average performance and Ben Simmons (back) has yet to debut for the team. Irving will be available for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, but he will miss three of the team's subsequent four games due to the vaccine-related mandates in New York.

Uneven performance in loss Irving provided 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 126-120 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Irving made his first appearance over the Nets' last four games, but he wasn't as efficient as he's been during the rest of his appearances this season. He also wasn't as prolific, as Kevin Durant controlled the offense for the majority of the game. Until Irving is cleared to play in home games, it's difficult envisioning a situation where he'll be a consistently reliable fantasy producer this season. The star point guard will be eligible to play in each of the Nets' next three games, but barring a change to the current mandates in New York, he'll only be available for seven of Brooklyn's final 19 regular-season contests.

Tatum's 54 leads Celtics past Durant, Irving, Nets 126-120

Jayson Tatum scored a season-high 54 points and the Boston Celtics overcame a rare appearance of both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the Nets lineup to beat Brooklyn 126-120

Back in action Sunday Irving will start at point guard in Sunday's game against the Celtics after he was ineligible to play in the Nets' previous three contests.

Impact Though New York City is expected to loosen its vaccine requirement Monday, as an unvaccinated employee of the Nets, Irving isn't expected to be eligible to play in the team's remaining home games, barring further changes in policy. With 10 of the Nets' final 22 games set to take place in Brooklyn, fantasy managers in weekly leagues will have to be mindful of the schedule before deciding whether to include Irving in active lineups. Beginning with Sunday, Irving will at least be available for the Nets' next three games -- all in road venues -- before bowing out of the lineup when the team returns home March 13 versus the Knicks.
