Mavs-Jazz preview: Irving finishes up big stretch as Luka nears return

SALT LAKE CITY – The Mavericks will bring the month of November to a close Saturday night against the Utah Jazz.

And what a month it’s been for Kyrie Irving.

Actually, more than five weeks if you go back to opening night on Oct. 24.

Irving’s body of work so far this season has been exemplary – and much needed. No, his points, rebounds and assists aren’t at Luka Donu010diu0107’s level. But they are crazy nonetheless.

The 6-2 veteran has averaged 24.5 points and 5.4 assists. He’s hit 46.6 percent of his three-pointers, by far the best mark on the team of players who have shot more than 10 triples.
