The Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic acknowledges the formidable synergy he shares with his backcourt partner Kyrie Irving when both players are performing at their peak, according to Mark Medina of Sportsnaut.

“Some days, one is going to have a good game,” Doncic said of the All-Star twosome. “Some days, others are going to have a good game… But when we play both at our best, it’s tough to stop us. Hopefully, we can get that to that next game.”

Medina highlights that in the 21 games where Doncic and Irving have shared the court for a total of 479 minutes, Dallas has averaged an impressive 119.1 points per 100 possessions.

During this period, Doncic is achieving a career-high 33.6 points per game with shooting percentages of .485/.376/.778, in addition to 9.2 assists per game and 8.3 rebounds per game.

Irving, on the other hand, maintains an average of 25.3 points per game with shooting percentages of .473/.410/.893, along with 5.4 assists per game and 5.0 rebounds per game.
