The Los Angeles Lakers look like a serious title contender, and Luka Doncic keeps improving his MVP case with incredible efficiency.
Luka Doncic scored 42 points on 24 field goal attempts to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 138-117 victory over the Miami Heat on Monday. The performance marked his fourth 40-point game of the season, coming directly after a 45-point outing against the Toronto Raptors. Doncic's strong start has pushed the Lakers to a 6-2 record on the season.

Through seven games, Doncic is averaging 38.3 points while shooting 49.6 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three-point range, making an average of 5.9 three-pointers per game.
