Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic looked slightly off in the battle of NBA stars over the past weekend, but the 20-year-old Slovenian prodigy is back on his game in the Mavs' first appearance after the break.

Doncic broke out an impressive behind-the-back dribble move into a step-back 3-pointer in the first quarter against the Orlando Magic on the road (via ESPN).

Doncic has led the Mavs to become the most efficient offense in the NBA during the 2019-20 season in just his sophomore campaign. Alongside co-star Kristaps Porzingis — a former one-time All-Star with the New York Knicks — Doncic and Dallas post a 116.5 offensive rating (better than second-place Houston Rockets by nearly three points).

Luka Doncic, along with his fancy footwork, has the Mavs vying for a spot in the loaded Western Conference playoff field. At 33-22, Dallas currently possesses the sixth seed in the west.
