Luka Doncic on MVP chants at the free throw line to finish his latest 40-point triple-double: “I was just hoping I don’t miss for them.” – 10:58 PM

Tom Westerholm @Tom_NBA
Per Synergy, Jayson Tatum is 2nd in points per possession among the NBA’s ultra high-usage players (25 or more possessions per game, higher than Doncic/Giannis/Shai/Booker etc.). Only player ahead of him, predictably, is Steph. – 10:58 PM

Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Luka Doncic has the fourth 40-point triple-double of his career. That ranks sixth in NBA history, per @EliasSports.

Alley-oop from Lillard to Simons. Blazers up 98-92 at Dallas. Such a strong performance all things considered. – 10:35 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
5th foul on Wood in just 22 minutes of court time. Particularly tough because he’s the Mavs’ second-leading scorer, with 19 points. Hardaway is third with 11. Where is the offense going to come from until Doncic returns? – 10:27 PM

Mavs lead 59-57 at halftime, but at one point in the second quarter they led by 16.
Doncic has 22 points. Doesn’t look tired, but he is pissed, if I’m allowed to tweet that. – 9:36 PM

Sean Highkin @highkin
Portland has to feel pretty good only being down two at the half. They haven’t played well at all. – 9:36 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Seldom-seen five-point possession (tech, take foul, 3-pointer) puts Portland ahead 57-55. Mavs counter with two Luka FTs. – 9:34 PM

Blazers just took the lead 57-55 on a three from Grant. Huge turnaround in the 2nd quarter. – 9:34 PM

The Pelicans almost escaped the first quarter without a turnover. Garuba stripping Valanciunas with 11.1 seconds left accounts for the only miscue.

Chauncey Billups calls Doncic the “toughest cover in the league.” His reasoning, he says, is that some great players are great ballhandlers, some are great scorers, some are dominant in the post. Doncic is all three. – 7:08 PM
