Luka Dončić delivered another standout performance, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 116–99 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Crypto.com Arena, while continuing his remarkable scoring run.
The Slovenian guard finished with 41 points — his second straight 40-point outing — but still saw his position drop in the latest NBA MVP Ladder.
“The better I play, the more I go down in ratings. So I don’t know what more I can do,” Doncic said.
Despite his form, Dončić slipped from second to fourth in the rankings, with Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama moving ahead, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains at the top.
Dončić’s numbers in March underline his case — 37.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game — as he continues to lead the Lakers’ late-season surge, with the team posting a 13–2 record during that stretch.
