All season long, Luka Doncic has put in work to put the Dallas Mavericks back on the map. In 2011, the Dallas Mavericks won the championship. Honestly, the Mavericks have struggled ever since they won that title. Not long after 2011, the Mavericks entered a rebuilding phase. The rebuilding phase didn’t officially end until Luka Doncic arrived.

Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks back into the playoffs during the bubble. It looked like the Mavericks had a rivalry going with the Clippers. Unless the Clippers run the table in the play-in, the rivalry is on pause. In the East, the Milwaukee Bucks have dominated since 2019. Giannis finally reached his potential in 2019 and he won his first MVP award.

After disappointing playoff endings in 2019 and 2020, Giannis led the Bucks to the title in 2021. The Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns, who are the NBA’s best team this season. Meanwhile, the Bucks have struggled since they won their title. A few days ago, the Bucks were on the verge of locking in the second seed, but they have taken two tough home losses. Last night, they had the Mavericks, but Brook Lopez almost took Luka Doncic out.
