Luka Doncic Does It Again With Another Triple-Double
Luka Doncic continued his sizzling start on Sunday when he racked up another triple-double against the Cavaliers in the 20-point win. Doncic scored 29 points on an efficient 9-for-17 shooting while adding 14 rebounds with 15 assists. He did commit five turnovers and did not have any defensive numbers, but was a Mavs starter's best plus-15 in 34 minutes of action. The minor head injury he sustained a few nights ago looks to be behind him and the young Slovenian looks poised for a monster season.

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.
