Lakers' dynamic duo of Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves make history together  

Before Sunday, Doncic scored 35 against the Mavericks, his former team, on Friday and 43 while battling the Clippers on Nov. 25. Doncic's personal scoring streak actually extends beyond his combined effort with Reaves. 

Luka Doncic is having one of his best seasons yet, and Austin Reaves is in the midst of a career year 

To further support his early season MVP case, Doncic has reached at least 30 points in seven straight games, with two 40-point performances mixed in. The 26-year-old five-time NBA All-Star is now averaging 35.1 points per game at the start of his first full season with the Lakers. He's also averaging 8.7 rebounds and 9.2 assists while shooting 47.1 percent from the field. 

As for Reaves, he continues to prove his worth as a budding star in the league. The undrafted guard holds averages of 28.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists, numbers that would equate to career-highs if maintained throughout the entire season.  

Reaves' recent scoring tear has been half of his 30-point games this season, too. He has six in total, including a 51-point clinic at Sacramento on Oct. 26 and a 41-point outing against Portland the next night. Needless to say, Reaves has been a steady scoring machine as the Lakers' second option behind Doncic so far this season, with or without James available.
