Underdog NBA: "Luka Doncic (heel) questionable for Friday."
The superstar forward is in the middle of a tremendous season with averages of 33.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 8.2 assists per contest (while shooting 50.4% from the field).
With the way he has played, there is a good chance that Doncic could end up as a finalist for the 2023 MVP Award.
In addition, the Mavs recently traded for Kyrie Irving, and he played his first game with the team on Wednesday night.
The NBA Champion guard had 24 points, four rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes of playing time (leading the Mavs to a 110-104 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers).
Irving and Doncic could potentially make up the best backcourt in the entire NBA.
Right now, the Mavs are tied with the Clippers for the fourth seed in the Western Conference and have a 30-26 record in 56 games.
They are in the middle of a two-game winning streak and 11-17 in the 28 games they have played on the road.
As for the Kings, they are the third seed in the west with a 31-23 record in 54 games and have gone 16-11 in 27 games at home.
