After a relatively quiet start to the season, Doncic's last three games have been more Luka-esque, averaging a triple double of 32.6 ppg, 13.3 rpg & 10.3 apg - all Dallas wins. Meanwhile, Jokic is presently leading the league in assists at 11.9 per game and scoring at a career high clip of 24.1 ppg.

Both players are simply too nasty for the league to handle at the moment.
