Luka Doncic feasts on the defensive mismatches the Mavericks serve up

Dallas Mavericks have found success with guard-to-guard high ball screen that leads to a pick-and-pop. Jason Kidd strategically chooses the player to set the screen for Luka based on matchups. Doncic often takes advantage of the mismatches created for him. The Mavs are good at attacking out of that situation and getting to the rim. Tim Hardaway Jr. will attack the basket when Don cased the ball back to him on an early pick and pop. The team switched Donic for John Wall and Reggie Jackson against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was to keep Kevin Durant on DonCic and prevent Cam Thomas from drawing the assignment.

Luka Doncic is a natural fit for the Dallas Mavericks' system. He can take advantage of defensive mismatches. The Celtics tried to pre-switch an action to keep Al Horford from being involved in the pick-and-pop. Don cedic notices the strategy and calls for Hardaway to clear out instead. Dallas also uses double high ball screens. They will try to triple switch across the matchups. They are betting that the Celtics cannot do it.

Dallas Mavericks have the 12th-rated offense in the league. Luka Doncic is averaging 33.4 points on 50% shooting and 8.2 assists per game. The team tries to get him the easiest matchup possible. The strategy is working. Denver Nuggets lost to Dallas. Los Angeles Clippers lost against Dallas as Ivica Zubac was not able to cover Lukas Donciic. Dallas has the best offense. They are keeping it simple for their star. It's still team basketball. it's just a different brand of it. and it is still working for them.
