Slate MVP: Luka Dončić Owned the NBA

No player defined the slate more than Luka Dončić.

He finished with 42 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, 0 blocks, and 6 made threes, good for a slate-best 72 fantasy points.

That was the clear slate-breaking performance from the player pool. The combination of scoring, peripherals, and defensive stats separated him from the field and made him the headline performance of the night.

Fantasy Leaders: The Top Overall Performers

After Luka Dončić's monster outing, the rest of the fantasy leaderboard was filled with strong all-around performances.
