No matter where the Dallas Mavericks stand in their respective conference, one thing is for sure is they have a generational talent on their hands in Luka Doncic. Despite being in the sixth position in the Western Conference with a 27-25 record, Doncic continues to set big-time records. And the last game against the Detroit Pistons was no different as Doncic torched the Pistons for a 53-point outing, joining the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and James Harden.
