Storyline to follow: Luka pushing for 30 a night

Luka Doncic is having a phenomenal second NBA season. He has made leaps in every aspect of his game. They pushed him into the discussion for MVP and All-Star captain.

Doncic appears to be gunning to score 30 points per game. He was over that mark before injuring his ankle just one minute and 40 seconds in against the Heat. He did not return that night and missed the next four contests. Since returning, Luka is averaging 29.8 per.

Expect him to be looking for 30-plus points on Monday. The 20-year-old star could go off against the Bulls.

The Dallas Mavericks are going to need it. The injuries have made life difficult over the past few weeks. Luka scoring in bunches improves the Mavs chances of grabbing win number 23 on the season. Please tune in and enjoy the action on Jan. 6.
