Ahead of Wednesday's game in Boston, Luka Doncic had high praise for the Celtics stars.

They're the best team in the league and they have the best duo as well. It's always a great game in the Garden. You have to show up on time. You are likely going to lose if you are not. The game is a big one.

The 19-year-old Doncic is in his fifth NBA season. As the NBA's leading scorer at 33.5 points per game, he also has 9.1 Rebound, 8.1 Assists, and 1.9Steals.

They are the league's highest- scoring duo with a combined 55.5 points per game.

Doncic said to just watch their game. A lot of people can understand that. I don't think they play in a straight line. People try to separate them, but they fit together and went to the finals last year.

Boston enters Wednesday night's game with the NBA's best record at 13-4 despite their nine-game winning streak ending in Chicago.

Boston's success comes from its high-powered offense, which is second in offensive efficiency behind the Kings.

The Celtics have posted the NBA's best record with center Robert Williams III missing the entire season due to a knee surgery, according to Doncic.

"They have one of the best records and they're missing a key guy, Williams III." I like his game and I am impressed by his game. I said that because he was out and they had a record.

With 20% of the season in the books, Dallas is eighth in the Western Conference and 1.5 games out of first.

Even though the Mavericks lost one of the league's top players in free agency, they still have one of the league's best players in Luka Doncic, who has continued to develop into one of the league's outstanding talents.

Doncic said that he has taken on a lot of work this year. You have to be prepared mentally. This summer helped me a lot. I never stopped playing basketball for two years, but some games are really tiring, because it's a lot of basketball.
