I’m almost convinced that Kyrie and Luka just might be the most dangerous duo in the League. Huge W for the Mavs tonight against the Kings!
Luka (26 PTS, 9 REB, 12 AST) and Kyrie (30 PTS) help lead the @DallasMavs to a crucial victory on the road! https://t.co/Hk74mfFdom
Mavs two up in the loss column on play-in. That was an absolutely MONSTER win in Sacramento. They're one game back of Pels, and they have a chance to win tiebreaker over Pels with a win over Houston when they play. Five seed is very doable for Dallas now.
Mavs sweep two-game set in Sacramento to position themselves to claim 6 seed or better. Dallas has won last 10 games with Luka Doncic in the lineup.

This section of the standings is a big deal. Mavs, Pels split season series. Whoever wins the division gets multi-team tiebreaker outright over non-division winner. Could decide playoffs vs. play-in. Pels have 1 game vs. Spurs, Mavs play Rockets twice. https://t.co/HQJDHasUwB
