Who did Doncic play the most in his career? Against 11 teams, the average points per game surpassed the Suns, and the defeated players may become the new sufferers

Doncic scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists to easily beat the Suns and help the Lakers end a four-game losing streak. In the first quarter of the game, he scored 13 points in a row, once stretching the difference to 20 points. In the last six games against the Suns, Doncic averaged 38 points, 8.5 rebounds, 9 assists and 1.8 steals per game, shooting 49% from the field, 43% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line.

Doncic is coming as soon as he hits the Suns? It does feel so, especially given the feud between him and Booker. But looking back at Doncic's career performances against teams in the league so far, his stats against the Suns aren't the most outstanding.

Statistics show that so far in his career, Doncic has played against the Suns 22 times in the regular season, averaging 29.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, shooting 46.7% from the field and 32.9% from three-point range. Compared to Doncic's career averages (28.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game), in addition to slightly higher points, rebounds, assists and both shooting percentages are below the career average.

So the question is, which team did Doncic play the most aggressively? If you look at the average points per game, Doncic is the most fierce against the Pistons, the sample of the Eastern team is not too big, but there are also 8 games, in these 8 games against the Pistons, Doncic averaged 36.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game, shooting 52.5% from the field and 39.6% from three-point range.

In addition to averaging 36.1 points per game against the Pistons, Doncic also averaged 30+ points per game against 9 other teams, in order of scores: Clippers (32.3 points), Rockets (31.4 points), Trail Blazers (31.0 points), Bucks (31.0 points), Warriors (30.9 points), Cavaliers (30.7 points), Nets (30.6 points), Knicks (30.5 points), Celtics (30.3 points). Counting his 29.2 points per game against the Wizards, Doncic is averaging more points per game than the Suns against 11 opponents.

If combined with the Lakers' potential playoff opponents, if they meet the Clippers, Rockets and Warriors, it is foreseeable that Doncic's performance should not be much worse, against these three teams, Doncic can not only average 30+ points per game, but also shoot above the career average, 48.4% against the Clippers, 47.2% against the Rockets, and 49.2% against the Warriors. Doncic's two game-highest-scoring games (45 points) this season were against the Warriors, where he recorded a triple-double of 45 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.

So, which teams did Doncic have the lowest scoring firepower against him? Career-to-date stats show that Doncic has only played one game against the Mavericks, scoring 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists, and Doncic has not scored more than 20 points in this smallest sample matchup.

Against the other 29 teams, Doncic's five lowest-scoring opponents per game are the Bulls (23.1), Timberwolves (23.9), Heat (25.5), 76ers (25.7), and Jazz (25.9). Of course, a low score doesn't necessarily mean a bad performance, and it can also be a three-quarter clock-in.

From the Lakers' perspective, among those opponents with low Doncic's scores, they could face the Timberwolves and Doncic's old club, the Mavericks, in the playoffs (though less likely). In terms of shooting percentage, in addition to the Mavericks' smallest sample of 35.3% in one game, the lowest was 40.5% against the Bulls and 43.1% against the Timberwolves. Overall, the Timberwolves will be a team that will make Luka a little difficult, although in last season's Western Conference finals, the Timberwolves were eliminated by the Mavericks, which is considered Luka's defeat.

Judging from the three meetings this season, Doncic played the Timberwolves a little badly, averaging only 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 37.5% from the field and 22.7% from three-point range. With their former underdogs now on an eight-game winning streak, will they become Luca's new bitter masters? Which opponent would you like to see the Lakers face in the first round of the playoffs?
