It comes as no surprise that the NBA announced Luka Doncic as the Western Conference Player of the Week for games played from Monday, December 26 through Sunday, January 1. This the second consecutive week that Doncic has received the honor and the first time he has notched the award in back-to-back weeks.
In the past week, Doncic posted averages of 48.7 points, 13 rebounds, 10.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 39.7 minutes per game, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 3-0 record. He also shot the ball extremely well, knocking down 61.7% of his shots overall and 48% of his attempts from deep.
