#3 Huge scoring nights
At times this season, Luka Doncic's defense has received justified criticism. However, the Dallas star has been an absolute joy to watch offensively. While not the most athletic guard, Doncic can easily get to the basket and score in traffic, and despite only shooting 32 percent from three-point range, he is more than capable of knocking down a huge three (just look at his stepback 26-footer over LeBron James).
Doncic has dropped at least 40 points on three occasions so far this season, including 41 points in 34 minutes against James Harden's Houston Rockets. His 12-point outing against the Denver Nuggets in late-October remains the only time that he has dipped under 20 points this season, and only Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo can better his tally of 30.1 points per game.
