Luka Doncic - Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks rookie continues to make a name for himself. On Saturday night, he was clutch, as he hit a huge step-back three to give his team the late lead. He'd finish with 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, and a block, in a 107-104 win over Houston.

LeBron James' former team picked up a win on Saturday as well. Thanks to big man Tristan Thompson's double-double, they were able to defeat the Washington Wizards.
