Luka Doncic repeats as the MVP of the month in the Western Conference. After being the best in February, the Dallas Mavericks point guard closed last month averaging a triple-double with 32.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 10.1 assists in the 14 games he played and which closed with a balance of 11 wins and 3 losses.
It is the second time in his career that Doncic has averaged a triple-double with 30 points in a month; He also did it in November 2019. According to Grant Afseth’s data, only two other players have achieved it apart from Doncic. Oscar Robertson achieved it five times while Russell Westbrook achieved this record twice.
Doncic’s contribution is being very important for the Mavericks to avoid the dreaded play in. With the push of March, this Tuesday, before facing the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco, they were fifth in the West with 45 wins in 74 games and their streak extended to seven straight victories.
Doncic, who is fighting for the MVP of the season with Nikola Jokic and is assured of his presence in the best quintet for the fifth consecutive year, this season averages 34 points, 9.1 rebounds and 9.8 assists with 48.9% success rate in field goals and 38% from three-point range.
In the East, Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks) was the best, although with much more discreet numbers than Doncic’s. The point guard closed the month of March with 28.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 13 games that were resolved with a 9-4 record.
