NBA Star Power Index: Luka Doncic is a basketball miracle worker; Ja Morant not so fine in the West
CBSN
Also, Joel Embiid notched his fifth and sixth 40-point game of the season
Welcome back to NBA Star Power Index: A weekly gauge of the players getting the most buzz around the league. Inclusion on this list isn't necessarily a good thing -- it simply means you're capturing the NBA world's attention. This is also not a ranking. The players listed are in no particular order. This column will run every week throughout the regular season.
Doncic scored 50 points against the Rockets last Friday, and there's no point in even talking about it. It was pedestrian. A regular night at the office. On Tuesday, this man hung a 60 spot on the Knicks in rallying the Mavericks from a nine-point deficit with 33.2 seconds to play to one of the wildest and most unlikely victories you will ever see.
On top of his 60 points, a career-high, Doncic grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds. He threw in 10 assists for fun. That makes him the first player in NBA history to card a 60-point, 20-rebound triple-double, and just the second player in history (James Harden) to post a 60-point triple-double of any sort.
