Luka Doncic Goes For 32 Points Against Clippers
Luka Doncic took his career-high to 32 points on Thursday against the Clippers, shooting 10-for-20 from the field and 3-for-6 from behind the arc. He was also busy on the line with a 9-for-13 record. Doncic also improved his career high in steals with four, and he had five assists and four rebounds. He seems to be getting more comfortable with NBA basketball with each passing week, and the recent outings have been particularly encouraging, as he's gone for 20-plus points in four of the last five games. Getting there again on Saturday would be a great spot to do it, with Dallas visiting the Golden State Warriors. Doncic already has one 24-point outing to his name against the defending champions.

Luka Doncic Nets 31 Points In Lakers Win
Luka Doncic scored a game-high 31 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's 94-85 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Scoring came hard for most players on the night, but Doncic made it back-to-back 30-point efforts for himself in the series, hitting 2-for-8 from downtown and 11-for-11 at the charity stripe. He nearly had a triple-double, finishing with 12 rebounds and nine assists. It seems the Timberwolves players will have nightmares of Doncic for the second consecutive year, as he has averaged 34.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists through the first two games of the series.

Luka Doncic Iffy For Tuesday
Luka Doncic (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been added to the injury report with a right groin strain and may take some time off to rest as the Lakers begin another back-to-back on Tuesday night. LeBron James (groin) and Austin Reaves (ankle) are also on the report as questionable, so the Lakers' bench may have a big role to play against the Thunder.

Luka Doncic Unavailable Thursday Versus Bucks
Luka Doncic (ankle) will not play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Tonight's game is the second half of a back-to-back set, and Doncic will sit out to manage his right ankle sprain. He finished with 31 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes in a 120-108 victory over the Nuggets on Wednesday. With Austin Reaves (ankle) also sidelined, Shake Milton, Gabe Vincent, and Jordan Godwin will likely see an uptick in minutes and scoring opportunities than usual.
