Luka Doncic is second in the league in scoring, averaging 32.8 points per game while shooting 49.7% from the field and 35.2% from the 3-point range.
The Dallas Mavericks star has scored at least 32 points in 19 of his 30 games this season. While Doncic is yet to face the Lakers this season, the Mavs have struggled, ranking just 26th in scoring defense.

Doncic is coming off his best scoring game of the season and second-best of his career, as the three-time All-Star finished his most recent outing with 50 points. Look for him to have another big game and score at least 32 points.
