Luka Doncic and Trae Young have a history, being traded for each other on the night of the 2018 NBA Draft. Since then, both have become top-line players in the league. On Wednesday they face off for the seventh time in their careers.
Doncic and the Mavericks hold the edge over Young and the Hawks, having won four of the six previous encounters, but anything could happen in this upcoming head-to-head.
The Mavs are coming off a 140-123 loss to the Trail Blazers in Portland, a poor defensive showing in which Doncic was rested. Luka posted a season-low 15 points in 35 minutes, well below his league-leading 33.8 points per game.
On the flip side, the Hawks notched their third straight win with a 121-113 victory over the Miami Heat to claw their way back to .500 (22-22).
Trae Young scored 24 points alongside a season-high four steals but did match his career-high in turnovers with 10.
