Dallas Mavericks: What to watch for as Mavs host Bulls

The Dallas Mavericks will be looking for revenge on Sunday afternoon. They traveled to Chicago on Jan. 3 and lost to the Bulls behind a 39-point performance from Zach LaVine. Luka Doncic did not play in that game, and fans know the Mavs superstar has no plans of letting the Bulls sweep the season series.

Doncic has been incredible since that loss in Chicago. The 21-year-old is averaging 30.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 11.2 assists per game over his last five. Fans should expect him to keep it going on Sunday as the European crowd will be tuning in.

Here is how and what to watch for in Sunday’s contest between the Mavs and Bulls.
