Stunning stat validates Luka Doncic’s MVP case after one month

Sometimes one stat tells you everything you need to know. For the Los Angeles Lakers, that stat is absolutely stunning. With Luka Doncic on the floor, they are plus-84. When he sits, they are minus-27

What that says about Luka Doncic's value

You do not often see swings like that unless a player is completely changing the direction of a team, and through the first month of this season, Doncic has been doing precisely that. The Lakers’ success backs it up.

The team has won six straight games and just ran through the NBA Cup group stage, going a perfect 4–0.
