Spin: The Mavericks suffered a blowout 19-point loss against the Clippers, but Irving still delivered a solid performance as Luka Doncic's backcourt partner. The veteran point guard is having a strong season, and he has adapted surprisingly well to being the second-best scoring threat, similar to his time alongside LeBron James in Cleveland. Irving has averaged 25.6 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game over his last 10 contests.
