NBA prop bet: Kyrie Irving to get hot

There are six NBA games Tuesday night, and the Brooklyn vs. Charlotte game seems to offer some value for potential three-pointers.

The Hornets defense ranks second-to-last in the NBA in threes allowed per game, sporting a bottom-ten three-point percentage allowed mark as well.

Naturally, our attention turns to some of Brooklyn's shooters to find us a prop worth betting on.

Kyrie Irving over 2.5 threes made (-113 FanDuel)

When looking at recent production and volume, the best choice seems to be Kyrie Irving. His decent odds make us feel even better about the pick tonight.

Irving has gone over this 2.5 mark in seven of his last 10 games and 63% of his16 total games played.

The interesting thing about the Brooklyn guard is that he hasn't made more than three threes in a game this season. While that may be a concern to some, it's worth highlighting his attempts numbers.

Kyrie has chucked up eight or more attempts from deep in half of his games this year, having shot less than six times from three-point land only once in his last 14 contests.

His field goal percentage from three hasn't been tremendous, but we know the volume and usage is there.

With a better opponent tonight, I like Irving to go over this total. He's averaging 39.4 minutes played per game in his past five, elite involvement on a Nets team needing more scoring since the trade of James Harden.

Best bet: Irving over 2.5 threes (-113 FD)
