Luka Dončić posts 45 points, 15 rebounds and five steals against Toronto

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.
