Luka Doncic, who is delivering an MVP-caliber season for the Dallas Mavericks, will confront the New York Knicks’ newly energized defense on Jan. 31, the exact anniversary of a trade that stunned both franchises.
The matchup arrives with Doncic leading Dallas offensively, while New York has tightened its defense in recent weeks. The coincidence of the date adds historical weight, marking the same day the two teams completed a blockbuster deal years earlier.
Tipoff will give the Knicks their latest chance to measure progress against one of the league’s most dynamic scorers and playmakers. For Doncic, it offers another national stage to reinforce his MVP credentials.
