NBA 2018-19: Best Players - Week 23

#4 Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)

The Dallas Mavericks have struggled of late

Luka Doncic has been one of the best players for the Mavericks all season, who have struggled ever since they traded their stars for Kristaps Porzingis, who is injured. They are right now 14th in the Western Conference with a 29-44 record.

They have also won just 2 of their last 10 games and lost 3 of their 4 games this week, winning only against the Golden State Warriors. Doncic has been a solid contributor for them throughout this season, averaging 21 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists a game.

He had himself 2 triple doubles this week, in the overtime loss against the New Orleans Pelicans, where he scored 29 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds and in the win over the Golden State Warriors, where he scored 23 points, along with 10 assists and 11 rebounds.

In the 118-126 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, Doncic scored 24 points in 29 minutes, along with 6 assists and 5 rebounds. Doncic had a poor shooting night in the loss against the Sacramento Kings, shooting just 21% from the field, scoring 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Mavericks are not looking to make the playoffs this season but still look out for some great performances from Doncic.
