NBA 2018-19: Key takeaways from the Dallas Mavericks' blowout win at the Houston Rockets

#1 Consistent performance from Luka Doncic

Dallas Mavericks got their franchise cornerstone in Luka Doncic

The Dallas Mavericks really struck gold in the lottery getting Luka Doncic with the #3 overall pick in the draft. Doncic has been consistently performing great for them ever since the first game.

Luka Doncic finished with a team-high 20 points on 6-11 shooting from the field, 3-7 shooting from the 3PT line and 5-5 from the free throw line. Doncic has been averaging 19.1 PPG, 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game over the course of the season and has been the best player for the Dallas Mavericks.

Doncic has shown maturity well beyond his years. He has been consistent in almost all the games and has been really patient and composed during shot making. The Dallas Mavericks will be hugely reliant on the displays of this rookie sensation if they are to challenge for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
