NBA season giving thanks
For Thanksgiving, we talked about all the things we’re thankful for this NBA season.
Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Dallas Mavericks with a chance to extend a five-game winning streak.
Doncic has scored at least 33 points in each of the last four games. He’s leading the league in scoring, averaging 35.2 points.
He’s nearly averaging a triple-double as well with 9.2 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game.
The game will be another chance for Doncic to make a statement against his former team. The Slovenian star was in his seventh season before the Mavericks traded him to L.A. in February.
Anthony Davis was sent to Dallas as part of the trade, and his status has been upgraded to available for the game against the Lakers on Friday.
The Mavericks have lost four of their last five games, including the last two games. In each of the previous five games, a different player has led the Mavericks in scoring.
