Doncic has been nothing short of amazing last week. The Dallas Mavericks are currently on a seven-game winning streak and Luka has played a huge part in that success. During last week, Dallas won all of its four games scheduled, first against Utah, then won two against their direct rivals in the playoff race, the Sacramento Kings playing in California, and yesterday, with Doncic's 47-point masterpiece theymanaged to stopped the hottest team of the moment, the Houston Rockets, in another Texan classic duel. The wonder kid averaged 32.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 9.5 assists, making a strong case to win the MVP.
Dejounte Murray also played four games with the Hawks last week. Atlanta managed to win three of them. On Monday, they started the week shocking the league's bests Boston Celtics, then cruised against Toronto to stun the Celtics again! twice in the same week, proving what they are capable to do. Finally, they couldn't resist Giannis and his Bucks, that being their only defeat in the past 7 days, Dejounte secured the second victory against the Celtics with a phenomenal game winner, but he's been excellent overall. Murray averaged 28.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists in those four games.
