Luka Doncic's late MVP campaign is gaining significant momentum as the Dallas Mavericks continue their ascent in the Western Conference standings. Amidst the regular season's final stretch, Doncic's performances have been pivotal in the Mavericks' success, highlighted by his remarkable showing against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite a scoreless first quarter, with the Mavericks down 31-25, Doncic rallied to finish the game with 25 points, contributing to the Mavericks' 109-95 victory over the Hawks. This win further solidifies their position in fifth place in the Western Conference. Doncic's MVP credentials are being bolstered by his recent on-court achievements, including a sensational one-handed three-point shot that captivated fans and commentators alike, and a historic 73-point game in a previous matchup against the Hawks. His efforts are not only propelling the Mavericks forward but also strengthening his case for the MVP award, challenging the likes of Nikola Jokic for the prestigious title. The Mavericks led 65-57 at halftime, showcasing a strong comeback. Doncic's performance has also led to speculation about a possible triple-double, with odds at (+210).
