In a stunning stat revealed by ClutchPoints, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic scored more points in the month of March 2026 (600) than Anthony Davis has scored in his entire 29-game career with the Mavericks (587). This further highlights how the Los Angeles Lakers made a savvy move in trading Davis to Dallas in exchange for Doncic prior to the 2025 NBA Trade Deadline.

Why it matters

The Lakers' decision to trade away the established star in Davis for the rising superstar in Doncic continues to pay major dividends, as Doncic has taken his game to new heights in Los Angeles. This stat underscores how Doncic has quickly become one of the league's most dominant players, while Davis has struggled to make a similar impact in Dallas.

The details

Doncic, who is just 27 years old, has elevated his game to an MVP-caliber level this season, averaging 33.8 points, 8.3 assists, and 36.8% shooting from 3-point range. In contrast, the 29-year-old Davis has only managed to score 587 points in 29 games with the Mavericks since being traded.
