Mavs head into NBA’s 2nd half with Luka Doncic playing at an MVP level, but shouldering a heavy load
Doncic is averaging 35.4 points in the Mavericks’ last ten games, but Dallas may need another scorer down the stretch.
Whether Doncic can eventually join Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic in what up to now has been a two-man MVP race is a question for another day. To put it succinctly for now, it’s a long shot. “It was just games, you know?” Doncic said Thursday with a shrug. “I know everybody talks the trade or something, but it’s just games. Sometimes you feel good; sometimes you don’t. And sometimes you feel bad or sometimes worse. I just felt good, so I think that was it.”
Will Doncic continue to shoulder a larger scoring load? Will a clear No. 2 scorer emerge from among Jalen Brunson or perhaps Dinwiddie, who was averaging 12.6 points with the Wizards but has scored 12 points in two games as a Maverick?
