In a slightly different season, one the Mavericks started completely healthy and didn’t deal with a debilitating COVID-19 outbreak, Luka Doncic would be firmly in the MVP discussion. He began the season as the favorite, according to sports betting websites, but quickly dropped down the board due to a slow start — albeit a brief one — and because his team was disappointing based on the high standards with which they entered the season.
Doncic’s numbers (28.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.7 assists per game) are certainly good enough.
