Luka Doncic is on a positive streak with the Los Angeles Lakers, one that is surely resonating with the Dallas Mavericks.
Doncic, 27, arrived in Los Angeles from Dallas in February 2025 after being traded, along with Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris, for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a first-round pick in the 2029 draft, and since then, he has done nothing but shine in California.
Doncic over his last eight games:
60 PTS – 7 REB – 5 STL: @ Miami Heat
40 PTS – 9 REB – 10 AST: @ Houston Rockets
36 PTS – 6 REB – 4 AST: @ Houston Rockets
30 PTS – 11 REB – 13 AST: vs. Denver Nuggets
51 PTS – 10 REB – 9 AST: vs. Chicago Bulls
31 PTS – 11 REB – 11 AST: vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
35 PTS – 8 REB – 4 AST: vs. New York Knicks
44 PTS – 9 REB – 5 STL: vs. Indiana Pacers
In his last games, the Slovenian has put up video-game numbers. Against the Miami Heat, he recorded 60 points, seven rebounds, and five steals.
Before that, he recorded 40 points, nine rebounds, and 10 assists against the Houston Rockets. He had previously recorded 36 points, six rebounds, and four assists in Houston.
Against the Denver Nuggets, he put up 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists, after scoring 51 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists against the Chicago Bulls.
Against the Minnesota Timberwolves, his performance also lived up to expectations, with 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Before that, he put up 35 points against the New York Knicks, with eight rebounds and four assists.
Against the Indiana Pacers, he recorded 44 points, nine rebounds, and five steals. The Lakers won every single one of those games. In contrast, the Mavericks have won only three of their last eight games.
The Lakers and Doncic will visit the Orlando Magic on Saturday, March 21, at the Kia Center. Meanwhile, Dallas will host the LA Clippers at the American Airlines Center on the same day.
