Dallas Mavericks: Luka Doncic triple-doubles in win over Magic

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic has found his stride. The 21-year-old dropped 38 points as he lifted the Mavs to a road win in Denver the last time out. Doncic narrowly missed his second straight triple-double and was looking to make it three straight wins on Saturday night.

The Mavericks were short-handed as they returned home. Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Jalen Brunson were all out against the Magic on Jan. 9. Orlando was dealing with plenty of injuries too. Luka and the Mavs were hoping to move over .500 for the first time this season.

It was not Doncic’s best night, but the superstar still secured a triple-double as the Mavericks picked up their fifth win. Here is a look at his best plays from Saturday night.
