The Dallas Mavericks have won three straight games and four of their last five behind some incredible play by superstar Luka Doncic. The 21-year-old has scored 25 or more points in a dozen straight games as the Mavs are rebounding from their slow start.

Doncic needs fans’ help. He started the All-Star game last year for Team LeBron. Luka scored eight points as he became the third Maverick to earn the start in the prestigious game. He wants to repeat the feat in 2021, but he needs a boost.

The NBA released the second round of voting totals on Feb. 11. Let us take a closer look at where Luka stands and why fans need to vote for Doncic before it is too late.

Supporters can see the voting totals the NBA released on Feb. 11 below.

Doncic is second among Western Conference guards behind Stephen Curry. He is less than 400,000 votes ahead of Damian Lillard, though. The fan voting accounts for 50 percent of the total for who starts the game. The media and players each get 25 percent. Luka winning the fan vote is the easiest path to him earning the start for the second straight year.
