Where is Luka Doncic playing?
Luka Doncic was drafted in 2018 by the Atlanta Hawks and traded to the Mavericks for fellow point guard Trae Young. Since running their point to perfection, Luka has been the center of the Maverick’s offense. Luka’s game involves a mix of dribble packages, smooth fadeaway jumpers, and unstoppable step-back three-pointers.
Luka also played the shooting guard position when Jalen Brunson was developing as a rising star for the Mavericks last season. Luka and Kyrie interchange their roles while playing together from point guard and shooting guard to keep the Dallas Mavericks offense flowing. Luka’s biggest strength is scoring over any defender with his vast array of moves for any scenario.
Luka Doncic’s fantasy updates and predictions
The Slovenian star averages 58 fantasy points per game and is the number one most-selected guard in NBA fantasy this season. Doncic has been in sublime form, having an MVP-caliber season averaging 33 points per game. Luka Doncic has carried the Dallas Mavericks since he joined the league, and finally got Kyrie Irving to support him this season.
Luka Doncic is the franchise player of the Dallas Mavericks, and they will not look to let him anytime soon. Doncic and Kyrie have the potential to form a dominating back-court duo once they develop the required chemistry, and Dallas is banking on that for their future. Doncic and the Mavericks will look to improve on their conference finals appearance last season if they can secure a playoff spot.
Luka Doncic alternatives for your fantasy team
Luka Doncic is still questionable for tonight, but some players will fire without question. Stephen Curry is another point guard in the West and arguably the best on his day. Curry and the Golden State Warriors will be taking on the tanking Houston Rockets tonight in a must-win game for their playoff ambitions. The Warriors have lost their last 11 road games and will look to break that streak tonight.
De’Aaron Fox is the next-best selection after bursting into the limelight this season with the successful Sacramento Kings. Fox averages 43 fantasy points per game while having a career year in the NBA. Fox has the Kings in the 2nd seed in the Western Conference with a playoff appearance all but confirmed. The Kings take on the Utah Jazz in what should be a comfortable win for De’Aaron Fox and company.
