The Boston Celtics may be the odds-on favorites to win the NBA Finals but no one should count out Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic.
No matter what they do or how they try to limit him, he still has tricks in his bag that can score with ease.

“It’s him and Jokic as the two best offensive players in the league,” Lowe said, and it is hard to argue with that point.
He has the ability to seemingly score from just about anywhere with a variety of skillful shots.
The Celtics have some strong defense and they are going to throw everything they can at Doncic, but that still might not stop him.
Doncic has suffered from some inconsistency at times during the playoffs but he has also been a major factor with his team’s ride to the Finals.
Now they have reached their chance to win a championship and Doncic knows what this means and how big a moment it is.
Therefore, the Celtics could see the best version of Doncic, which would undoubtedly be bad news for them.
The Mavericks will need more than Doncic’s powerful shooting if they wish to win the Larry O’Brien trophy.
They also need suffocating defense because the Celtics can shoot well too.
This could end up being a very exciting fight for the championship, filled with sensational shooting and some circus shots that leave their mark in NBA history.
