The NBA has seen its fair share of great passes over the years. On Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, though, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic added another entry to that.

Dallas Mavericks fans are well aware of Luka Doncic’s penchant for getting penalized by referees. The Slovenian wunderkind has been amongst the league leaders in technical fouls over the last three seasons and has been suspended because of it in the past. It’s one of the few items on his shortlist of weaknesses. But one […]

There is no doubt that Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncuc is an MVP candidate. He is the be-all and end-all of the Mavs, who will go as far as where the Slovenian takes them. Doncic has been consistently putting up scintillating numbers for the Mavs, who are barely hovering above .500, but definitely would have […]

Luka Doncic, after a night off during the Dallas Mavericks’ Saturday night drubbing at the hands of the Chicago Bulls, was back to his usual superstar exploits on Monday night.

Luka Doncic was not going to let the Dallas Mavericks lose three games in a row Monday night, as he towed the Mavs to a 121-114 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at home.

Last Friday, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks lost a heartbreaker to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Luka Doncic did all he can to carry the Dallas Mavericks to a win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, but in the end, the Mavs came up short. Doncic actually had a chance to win the game with a last-second shot, but Bucks guard Jrue Holiday had other ideas. With the game on the […]

The Dallas Mavericks have been mediocre in the clutch this season. That might surprise a lot of people, considering Luka Doncic’s reputation as a clutch player prior to this season. Despite Doncic’s presence, though, Dallas has struggled to put away teams in the final moments of the game (their game against the Toronto Raptors comes […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have a free throw problem, and once again, it has cost them a win.

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic just posterized Jrue Holiday. Yes, you read that right.

The Denver Nuggets have now lost three straight games, their latest defeat coming at the hands of Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Nikola Jokic and the rest of the Nuggets haven’t had the easiest times of late – especially Jamal Murray, who scuffled to the tune of 2-11 shooting. And it seems as if […]

Prior to Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, the Dallas Mavericks had not won a game when Luka Doncic scored less than 30 points. They only have a few of those instances when Doncic didn’t light up the scoreboard, but it’s definitely a concerning trend for the franchise. Fortunately, however, they were finally able to […]

Russell Westbrook may have normalized it, but tallying a triple-double remains an absurdly difficult feat.

In fact, Doncic filled the stat sheet yet again during the Dallas Mavericks’ […]

Our friends over at FanDuel have updated the […]

There were plenty of excitement when the Dallas Mavericks acquired Kristaps Porzingis to partner with Luka Doncic back in 2019. While Porzingis and Doncic proved to be a lethal pick-and-pop duo at the beginning of their partnership, Porzingis ended up being marginalized in the Mavs offense the more Doncic ascended into the superstar he is […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ play to begin the year has been uneven despite Luka Doncic’s ridiculously torrid start to the 2022-23 campaign.

As part of the Dallas Cowboys’ recruiting work on Odell Beckham Jr., Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs brought him to the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the Phoenix Suns on Monday.

The highly anticipated showdown between Luka Doncic and Devin Booker was quite disappointing, to say the least, with the Phoenix Suns star failing to live up to expectations once again when facing his Dallas Mavericks counterpart.

The Dallas Mavericks may have recently brought in Kemba Walker to give Luka Doncic some playmaking help, but it doesn’t mean they are stopping right there.

Luka Doncic wore a custom Philadelphia Eagles jersey on Saturday ahead of the Dallas Mavericks’ showdown with Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks, but he asked photographers not to take a picture of him because he’s so embarrassed by it.

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks faced off against Jalen Brunson for the first time since his offseason move to the New York Knicks. And sure enough, it was a weird moment for both sides.

It’s more than safe to assume Jalen Brunson was none too pleased at the New York Knicks’ performance on Saturday.

Just because Brunson […]

Luka Doncic’s carry job with the Dallas Mavericks has been absolutely insane to watch this season. The offense runs through Doncic alone, and without him, it seems like the operation completely fails. The fans have started to get more and more frustrated with Dallas’ supporting cast, and the star has also shown the same frustration. […]

The Dallas Mavericks should look a little bit different come the trade deadline. With a 10-11 record and sitting just outside the play-in tournament in the Western Conference, it is hard to imagine Mavs owner Mark Cuban is satisfied with his team at the quarter mark of the 2022-23 NBA season. For now, it is […]

Luka Doncic did everything he could (apart from shoot free throws well) to lift the Dallas Mavericks on the road against a Detroit Pistons team that entered Thursday night with a 5-18 record.

There was only one NBA game on Thursday night, and it was, perhaps, not too inspiring a matchup on paper. The Dallas Mavericks, led by Luka Doncic, took on the Detroit Pistons, a team that entered this game with the worst record in the league at 5-18. The Pistons were still missing Cade Cunningham due […]

There’s no denying that Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic has been one of, if not the best player in the entire league early on. It’s also true, however, that it’s highly improbable that he will be able to carry the Mavs by himself. In order for this team to succeed this season, Luka’s teammates need […]

There’s a reason why Tony Snell used to get avoided by managers in the realm of fantasy basketball.
