Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic flirted with a triple-double for the Lakers Saturday night, dishing out eight assists, grabbing six rebounds, and scoring a team-high 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3PT, 4-4 FT) while also recording one steal and blocking one shot in a 129-101 win over the Warriors.

Doncic continues a dynamic stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out three or more assists, grabbing five or more rebounds, and scoring 22 or more points in each of his last five games. The 27-year-old continues to reward fantasy managers with league-winning production while leading the Los Angeles lineup on a nightly basis, averaging 32.6 points, 1.4 steals, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game while carrying a usage rate of 36.4% so far this season.

The Lakers have dropped three straight, and Thursday's loss to the Suns came despite a 41-point effort from Dončić — his ninth 40-point game of the season. He finished with 12-of-21 from the field, 11-of-12 from the line, six three-pointers, eight rebounds, eight assists, and two steals.

Putting up numbers like that and still ending up on the losing side is the story of LA's season right now, but none of it diminishes what Dončić continues to do on a nightly basis.

Dončić finished Tuesday's loss to the Magic with 22 points (8-of-24 FGs, 4-of-9 FTs), 15 assists, nine rebounds, one block, and two three-pointers — a double-double undermined by a rough shooting night that included a 2-of-10 performance from deep.

The 15 assists came with just two turnovers, keeping the fantasy damage manageable despite the inefficiency. The Lakers had a chance to steal the win in the final seconds before LeBron James' buzzer-beating turnaround three fell short.

Luka Doncic flirted with a triple-double for the Lakers Friday night, dishing out 11 assists, grabbing six rebounds, and scoring a team-leading 38 points (11-25 FG, 8-14 3PT, 8-11 FT) while also blocking one shot and recording three steals in a 125-122 win over the Clippers.

Doncic continues a steady stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out two or more assists, grabbing four or more rebounds, and scoring 10 or more points in each of his last four games. The guard continues to reward fantasy managers with elite output while leading an explosive Los Angeles starting five on a nightly basis, averaging 32.8 points, 1.5 steals, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game while carrying a usage rate of 36.6% so far this season.

Luka Doncic is expected to start and be on a minutes restriction in the All-Star Game on Sunday.

Doncic missed the Lakers final four games before the break with a mild hamstring strain. He was the leading vote getter for the All-Star Game and will play in limited fashion.
