Why ‘Wonderboy’ Luka Doncic should be favored over this player for MVP
Over the course of 47 magical minutes Tuesday, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic delivered devastating heartbreak to the New York Knicks with a 60-point, 21-rebound, 10-assist performance — the first 60-20-10 game in NBA history.
This jaw-dropping performance in Dallas’ 126-121 OT win is one of a bevy that justifies the superstar’s case for early season MVP.
Per OddsChecker, Doncic is No. 2 in MVP odds, behind Boston’s Jayson Tatum.
Much-deserved MVP chants filled American Airlines Center in Dallas long before Doncic sent the game to overtime in miraculous fashion. The 23-year-old’s stoic reaction to his game-tying shot let Mavericks fans know that, for him, this was just another day at the office.
