Luka Doncic, Mavs expose hole in Rockets lineup

After watching their young rookie phenom have a breakout performance, the Rockets visited Dallas on Tuesday to face one of the league's true superstars in Luka Doncic, a player whose impact is the type which the Rockets hope Jalen Green can some day mirror.

A perceived hole on the team entering the season was wing defense and thus, a big question I had entering the game was how the team would approach the task of defending Doncic. Neither Kevin Porter Jr., nor Green have the size or savvy for the assignment and neither starting big man - Christian Wood or Daniel Theis - is known for having the agility to defend guards on the perimeter.
