Irving and Doncic have proven to be an excellent fit and are among the best duos in the NBA.

Last season (after Irving was traded to Dallas), the Mavs struggled and missed the playoffs.

However, they did an excellent job of rebounding and finished as the fifth seed with a 50-32 record this year.

They beat the Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder in the first two rounds (before defeating the Timberwolves).
