Luka Doncic’s MVP Potential Shines Bright as Mavericks Make Playoff Push

Luka Doncic long ago he entered on his own merits the pools for the MVP of the season alongside stars of the caliber of Nikola Jokic (Nuggets), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks), Jayson Tatum (Celtics) o Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder). Nobody disputes today that he is one of the great banners of the NBA. And he proves it every day. But To be named best player of the season he will need his Mavericks to go far in the playoffssomething that remains to be seen… if they get into that fight, well right now they are sevenths of the West with identical balance to the Kings (42-29) and they are in Play-In positions.

He more than meets the first requirement for that possible nomination. Not in vain is he top scorer in the NBA (34.1 points on average) and their averages (34.1 points, 9 rebounds and 9.8 assists) are sidereal. In the victory of Dallas a Utah (105-115) was once again an offensive gale with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assistshis nineteenth triple-double of the season, the third in this section after Sabonis (25) y Jokic (22).

Our defense in the last two games has been pretty good. We just have to move on

Luka Doncic (Mavericks player)

It was another day at the office for the former Madrid player, who is signing a gorgeous month of March: in the 11 parties who has played averages a stratospheric triple double of 32.1 points, 10 rebounds and 10.5 assists that have helped his Mavericks win eight in a row. The Slovenian has lost his hair and is willing to take his team to the playoffs whatever it takes.

Luka Doncic’s March of Madness

• Celtics (away) 37+12+11 (V)
• Sixers (home) 38+11+10 (V)
• Pacers (casa) 39+10+11 (V)
• Heat (casa) 35+11+11 (V)
• Pistons (out) 39+10+10 (V)
• Bulls (out) 27+12+14 (V)
• Warriors (home) 21+3+9 (F)
• Nuggets (home) 37+10+3 (V)
• Spurs (out) 18+10+16 (L)
• Jazz (home) 34+9+8 (D)
• Jazz (out) 29+12+13 (R)

Its production in March is being splendid and had its culmination from February 29 to March 12, in which he chained seven triple-doubles in a row. Despite everything, he remains with his feet on the ground and prefers to focus his attention on the collective game of his team: “Our defense in the last two games has been pretty good. We just have to keep going.”he said after the victory in Utah.

Gafford, numbers that have not been seen in 40 years

His best squires were one more day Kyrie Irvingauthor of 27 points (6/12 t2, 4/9 t3 and 3/3 tl) and the revelation Daniel Gafford, who had 13 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks with 6/6 field goals. The center, who is justifying his signing by giving solidity to the Mavs’ inside game, became the first NBA player in the last 40 years to sign a stat line like this without any shooting errors. His is amazing.

Daniel Gafford, who had five blocks, blocks John Collins’ shot.

In Jazz the contribution of Lauri Markkanen (34+7+2), John Collins (21+11+2) y Collin Sexton (20+2+6) was insufficient in the face of the devastating offensive power of Doncic e Irving and the inner domain of Gafford.
