2. Why Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic will be best in Orlando: Can’t be stopped

Doncic has become nearly unstoppable this season. Mavericks fans know he decided to attack the basket more and improved his finishing in the paint. Wonder Boy averages 28.7 points per game while shooting 75.4 percent within three feet of the hoop. That unlocked a new level and also set off the Mavs offense. Luka led them to the highest offensive rating in NBA history during their 67 games before the suspension.

The 21-year-old also produces the best stat line in the NBA. Doncic and Russell Westbrook are the only two players in the top 20 in points, assists, and rebounds per game this season. The Mavericks star leads the league with 14 triple-doubles too.

He is impossible to stop. Luka has been held to single-digit points just once this season. That was the night he was injured less than two minutes into the game. Doncic has scored less than 20 points four times. He finished with 19 points in two of those games. Teams are just trying to slow him and the Mavericks down at this point.

A massive short sample stat line plus a deep playoff run could make Luka Doncic the top player during the NBA’s return in Orlando. The 21-year-old has a lot of signs pointing toward it.
