Welcome to the final Team of the Week of the 2020-21 NBA season. Normally, I write these on Sunday and then post them on Monday, but given the fact that the season officially ended this past Sunday, I thought it was best to just wait a day so the standings are officially set.

Point Guard: Luka Dončić With just under two weeks left of the season, most teams are fighting for their spots in the postseason, whether that be in the actual playoffs or in the play-in tournament. One of those teams is the Dallas Mavericks, who are having a strong season but aren't safe just yet. Currently sitting at 36-27 on the year, the Mavericks hold the 5th seed in the West right now, but are only a game ahead of the current top seed in the play-in tournament.
