Luka Dončić posted 45 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, five steals, one block and eight threes with seven turnovers on 12-of-23 shooting and 13-of-13 from the line in 35 minutes as a starter on Sunday, November 1, when the Lakers beat Toronto 131-125.
The line was enormous, but Dončić had already been producing at 56.6 fantasy points per game over his previous five games, so this outing represents a normal night for his stratospheric level rather than a significant shift in value. He remains a top-tier asset in both nine-category and points leagues, ranked third overall with 7.29 nine-category value and 56 projected fantasy points per game.
