3 Studs, 2 duds in Mavericks’ clutch road win against Lakers

3. Stud - Luka Doncic

Through 15 games this season, Luka Doncic has continuously proven to be one of the most, if not the most elite players in the NBA.

Doncic dropped 30 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists while shooting a mediocre 10-26 from the field.

Not only was Doncic hitting big time shots all night long, but he was continuously making clutch passes to his teammates to get the win.

Throughout the game, Doncic was able to connect with Irving for multiple 3-pointers. A key topic from this season's success for the Mavs has been the improved chemistry between Doncic and Irving.

Doncic has been playing at a high level this season, but lately, the main issue has been his consistency. If Doncic can fix that he will be an even bigger issue in the league.

Doncic is shooting a career high of 40.8 from three, while also attempting an average 9.8 three’s per game as well.

Expect a big game from Doncic on Saturday as he will facing his personal rival, the LA Clippers. In his most recent performance against the Clippers, he put up 44 points, six rebounds, and six assists, while shooting an absurdly impressive 6-9 from three.
