Dallas Mavericks’ guard Luka Doncic is feeling upbeat about the team’s chances in the playoffs, regardless of which team they will face. The Slovenian guard hit 35 points, pulled down nine rebounds and dished out 13 assists in the Mavs’ 120-112 win over Cleveland Cavaliers at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

“Obviously this year we have been way better defensively but when the playoffs come, I have a lot of confidence, no matter who we get,” Doncic, who turned up for the press conference proudly wearing a Texas Rangers baseball cap. “Hopefully we will get a home court advantage, and play every game with confidence and just try to win”.
