Dallas Mavericks
After Luka Doncic's explosive 44-point performance in an 18-point victory against the Clippers, the Mavericks have the NBA's second-highest offensive rating and are 6-2 this season. Doncic is driving Dallas with an impressive average of 32.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game. The Mavs have the NBA's highest effective field goal percentage and take the most three pointers per game but their defense is giving them some trouble, ranking 26th in defensive rebounds per game and allowing nearly 70% of shots to succeed at the rim. Kyrie Irving joining for the full season could be the key to Doncic's MVP aspirations, as long as they can resolve their defensive issues.
