Dallas Mavericks vs. LA Clippers Game 6 storyline to follow: Luka going off

The Mavs need Luka Doncic to be out of this world on Thursday night. He had 22 points, eight rebounds, and four assists in game five, and it was not enough. Dallas needs a monster triple-double with 30-plus points if they are going to keep their season alive.

Doncic is more than capable of those numbers. The 21-year-old has officially jumped into the superstar tier. Luka should be a perennial MVP candidate as the Mavericks continue to climb the standings. Expect a monster performance in game six.
