BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Even though it does not look great for the duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to continue with the Nets, online sportsbooks have +340 odds for them to combine for 56 points per game over the course of the 2022-2023 season.
During the 2021-2022 season, they combined for an average of 57.3 points.
This scoring total bet does not require them to be on the same team, and the bet may have a better chance of hitting if/when they are playing for separate teams. However, in in order for this bet to be valid and able to hit, both players must play at least 41 games during the 2022 season.

If these two players keep playing to their standard, and both manage to play at least 41 games, this prop bet of averaging a combined 56 point holds value based off their past player statistics.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Brooklyn | 55 Games | 37.2 | 29.9 |
| 2020 | Brooklyn | 35 | 33.1 | 26.9 |
| 2019 | Brooklyn | Missed Whole Season | NA | NA |
| 2018 | Golden State | 78 | 34.6 | 26.0 |
| 2017 | Golden State | 68 | 34.2 | 26.4 |

| 2018 | Boston | 67 | 33.0 | 23.8 |
| 2017 | Boston | 60 | 32.2 | 24.4 |
The Duo’s PPG Before Sharing The Court
For this bet to hit, each player would have to average 28 points per game. Because Durant has averaged more than Irving in past seasons, it is logical to see the split as more 30 for Durant and 26 for Irving.
When KD was sharing the court with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, he averaged 26 points per game, with his role decreasing. In Boston, Kyrie never seemed to find his rhythm, averaged 23.5 over the two seasons.
Since 2017, Durant has not averaged less than 26 points, proving that has been a consistent scorer in this league, no matter the team he plays for.

Durant And Irving In Brooklyn
In 2019, KD missed the entirety of the regular season, while Kyrie adapted to his new role in Brooklyn, and scored 27 ppg, while waiting for Durant’s eventual return. When KD finally returned for the 2020 season, he was able to play 35 full games, and averaged 26 points.
In his 54 games played, Irving averaged 26 points as well, as the two were very close to a combined 56 points per game.
2021 looked slightly different, with KD being almost to full health, but Kyrie being denied eligibility to play for the majority of the season, due to the New York vaccine mandates in place. Playing only 29 games at the end of the season, Irving ended up averaging 27 points.
Although he suffered minor injuries throughout the season, KD was able to play a total of 55 games, and average 29.9 points over the course of the unpredictable season. Even with the issues throughout the season, they managed to combine for an average over 56.
Kyrie Alone As A Net For 2022?
After James Harden’s departure, and Kevin Durant requesting a trade, Kyrie will be the last of the big three in Brooklyn, unless he gets traded as well. If he does stay a Net, bettors will see if Kyrie can lead a team to success, or at least score at least 27 points per game.
The two players only played a total of 44 games together in Brooklyn, and could hit potentially hit the 56 total on the same team, or by going their separate ways.
