Dallas Mavericks at Orlando Magic storyline to follow: Luka’s hot streak

Luka Doncic averaged 30.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.8 blocks over his 12 February games. He shot 48.6 percent from the field and 43.5 percent on his threes. The Mavs have won eight of those 12 games. It is further proof that Dallas is unstoppable when Luka is connecting from long range.

The 22-year-old superstar will look to continue his hot streak against the Magic on Monday. Orlando is without their two preferred defenders on Doncic, so they will have to get creative. Expect another massive night from Luka as the Mavericks look to climb over .500 for the first time since Jan. 22. Do not miss it.
