According to Ward, strictly merit.
Taylor has been HUGE for the Heat down the stretch whereas Irving was a little shaky. The excuse right now, whether valid or not, is that Irving has had a tough year because of the constant back-and-forth between Abby and Calgary as well as the birth of his first child a few weeks ago. He's been very distracted this season, essentially.
So Ward's riding the hot hand right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see Irving in the playoffs yet though.
