Dallas will be looking to bounce back on Sunday as they return home to host the Sacramento Kings. The Kings dominated the Mavs last season.

Good Luka needs to show up.

Perhaps the biggest reason for the Mavericks struggles so far is Luka’s uninspiring play. He looks like a ghost of the player we last saw eviscerating the Los Angeles Clippers in the postseason. He’s averaging almost 23 points per game, which is fine, and his seven assists per game is good enough. But as mentioned above, his 3-point shooting is abysmal, and he yet again looks like he’s playing himself into shape to start the season. The clearest evidence of this is his shockingly low free throw attempts. Doncic is averaging only four trips to the line per game this season. His career average is seven. If the Mavericks are going to get things turned around on offense, Doncic is going to have to be more aggressive.
