Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves accurately predicted that Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic would embark on a 40-point scoring streak more than a year before it occurred.

Reaves made the forecast during a previous season, foreseeing Doncic's ability to dominate offensively. The Mavericks forward subsequently delivered a series of high-scoring performances, validating Reaves' early assessment.

Doncic has established himself as one of the NBA's premier scorers, and Reaves' prediction highlights the respect between the two Western Conference rivals.
