Storyline to follow: Luka Magic
Luka Doncic produced the best highlight of his rookie season against the Blazers. He drilled a falling away 3-pointer as time expired to tie the game. It was an incredible shot. Fans can see his entire rookie highlight reel below.
Doncic is off to a blistering start in sophomore season. He is averaging 29.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 2.0 steals in 35.5 minutes per through two games. Luka has improved in several areas from his Rookie of the Year campaign. That is a scary thought for the rest of the NBA.
The Blazers shook things up a bit this offseason. Hassan Whiteside will be starting at center meaning Mavs fans could get their first Boban Marjanovic sighting of the season. Lillard and McCollum will still be leading the charge, though.
Expect a massive performance from Luka Doncic as the Mavericks look to run their record to three and zero.
