Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic has been named the NBA’s Western Conference Player of the Month for December. He shares the monthly award with Joel Embiid in the Eastern Conference.
Per game in December, Doncic has averaged 35.1 points, 9.3 assists, and 8.5 rebounds. He was clearly the frontrunner for the West after winning back-to-back player of the week awards in the Western Conference. His big numbers have fueled Dallas to an 11-6 record for the month, and the Mavericks currently have the longest win streak in the West, with seven in a row. They trail only Brooklyn’s 12 consecutive wins.
