PG 1 - Kyrie Irving (Boston Celtics)

Boston Celtics are playing some great basketball

The Boston Celtics are a team that are on the ascendency. They are currently fifth in the NBA, with a 20-13 record, only four games behind the top seed, Toronto Raptors.

They have won the last seven of their 10 games and are on a two-game winning streak. One man who has carried them along after a bad start to their season has been Kyrie Irving.

Kyrie has been on fire this season, averaging more than 23 points per match, along with 6 assists and 5 rebounds as well.

After a tough October, Kyrie has finally found his groove and has become the pivotal player for the Boston Celtics.

In the win over the 76ers, he scored a massive 40 points, along with 3 assists, 10 rebounds and a steal to with it too. He is making clutch shots for the Celtics and they'll hope it continues and he has another huge game against the Houston Rockets.

Alternate pick: Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors)
