Dončić, who led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals last season, put up 14 points in a blowout debut win over the Utah Jazz and scored a triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists when his Lakers beat the Mavs in LA on Feb. 25.
Since joining the Lakers, he’s quickly found rhythm with James, forming one of the most dynamic duos in the league. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have faced early struggles adjusting to their new lineup. Davis exited his Dallas debut on Feb. 28 with a lower-body injury and returned to action on March 24.
