Luka Doncic and Trae Young will be forever be linked as members of the 2018 NBA Draft class. The Hawks traded out of the third pick for the Mavericks’ fifth overall pick and additional assets. The Mavericks selected Doncic, and the Hawks selected Young. The winner of the trade can be debated, but I’ll take Doncic, and I’ll take him tonight in a good spot against Young’s Hawks.
Doncic’s former teammate Jalen Brunson has been tearing it up for the New York Knicks. Tonight, he gets the Washington Wizards, and he will look to stay hot against them.
Speaking of New York, Oklahoma City guard Josh Giddey is coming off a big night in Brooklyn. He could be in store for a repeat performance back home against Indiana.
