Leading all scorers is Dallas Mavericks (24-22) superstar Luka Doncic, averaging a career-high 33.7 points across 37.5 minutes per contest (41 games). The 23-year-old rebounded from Tuesday’s season-low 15 points, scoring 30 in Wednesday’s 130-122 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It was the fourth time in the past five games Doncic has notched 30 or more points. Firmly in the MVP conversation, the Slovenian native has Dallas sitting fifth in the Western Conference and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.
