In the Lone Rangers' 125-118 away win over the Pelicans, Doncic had 49 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists on 17-of-35 shooting, only one point away from getting 50+ and just two assists to get a triple-double.
It is worth mentioning that in the previous game against the Clippers, Doncic just scored 45+ in two consecutive games, including 51 points in one game, setting a new career record.
In the past four games, Doncic has had 49 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists, 21 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, 45 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists, 51 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and 45+ in 3 times, averaging more than 40 points per game. In the game against the Thunder in early February, Doncic also scored 40+.
Not only did Doncic cut 40+, but also had 15 rebounds and eight assists in two games, making him the fourth player in history to have 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in a month, after only Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Walter Bellamy did it, the most recent of which was Chamberlain in January 1966, which means that no one has done it in 56 years.
Doncic's form in recent times has been very hot, even compared to DeRozan, who has cut 35+ in seven consecutive games and tied Jordan's record.
Interestingly, Doncic's big outburst coincided with the losing All-Star starter. Since losing the All-Star starter, Doncic has averaged 34.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 10.8 assists per game, shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 43.3 percent from three-point range.
After the announcement of the All-Star starting lineup, Doncic lost to Morant, who has emerged this season, and missed the All-Star start, and he was selected as an All-Star starter in the previous two seasons. In the media vote, Doncic did not receive a single vote.
Judging from his performance in the first half of the season, Doncic is really almost interesting, and it is not as good as Morant, so it is reasonable for him to lose the All-Star starter. There are only two starting places in the Western Conference All-Star backcourt, Curry is definitely going to take one, Doncic can only compete with other guards for the remaining one, and this season's performance is not strong enough, naturally it will lose the starter.
However, after losing the start, Doncic ushered in a big outbreak and played a very dominant performance, with such a performance, Doncic is certainly worthy of the All-Star starter, but unfortunately, the All-Star vote has long been over, and Doncic can only participate in the All-Star as a substitute.
