How will the Golden State Warriors defend Luka Doncic?

Luka Doncic has taken his game to another level since returning from injury in the postseason. Against the Phoenix Suns specifically, Luka was an unstoppable menace. Against the Suns, Luka averaged 33 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists per game.

All while shooting 48 percent from the field and 33 percent from 3-point range. And the Suns threw everything they had in their arsenal at him. Still, it wasn’t enough as Luka controlled the final two games of that series as the Mavs made a series comeback from down 3-2.

If the Warriors are going to be successful against the Mavs, they’re going to, at the very least, limit Luka. Even with the myriad of defenders that Phoenix has, Luka was not hindered. How will that look against Golden State?
