As part of this holiday season’s efforts, Doncic also hosted fifty children from Southern Dallas prior to the Dallas Mavericks game against the Clippers on December 20th in North Texas. He planned a surprise meet-and-greet for the children before the game and went as far as to arrange for their transportation, in addition to setting up meals, NERF and Jordan Brand gifts. For Santa Doncic, the biggest gift yet would be a Christmas Day win for the Mavs.

Santa Doncic’s gift for the Mavs
Despite losing four of their last six games, the Mavericks are currently leading the Southwest Division after a strong season that has shot them up to the top. Tonight, as part of the Christmas Day special games in the NBA, they will make a stop at the Footprint Center in Phoenix for a face-off against the Suns.
The two teams will play each other for the first time this season, and considering that the struggling Suns will be desperate for a win, the Mavs will have to put up a fight. It won’t be an issue for them, however, as they are in good hands with Luka Doncic at the reins.
