LOS ANGELES: Talented 21-year-old Slovenian star Luka Doncic powers the Dallas Mavericks against LeBron James (LBJ) and the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in Friday’s (Saturday in Manila) feature matchup of five NBA Christmas contests. But Doncic has drawn rave reviews since being taken with the third overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. It’s the 22nd year in a row the Lakers will play on Christmas. Two-time reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee faces two-time MVP Stephen Curry and the Warriors. The Bucks host a Christmas game for the first time since 1968.
