Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs storyline to follow: Will Luka stay hot?

The Mavs won three of four from the Spurs last season as Doncic averaged 32.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 10.5 assists against San Antonio. The 21-year-old will be looking to keep those numbers up against the Spurs on Friday night.

He has been incredible in January. After two straight down games, Doncic should be looking to score more against the Spurs. Expect Gregg Popovich to throw multiple looks at the Mavericks superstar. It will be fascinating to watch on Friday night. Do not miss it.
