THE NO. 3 DUKE BLUE DEVILS AND THE NO. 10 ST. JOHN'S RED STORM ... Madison Square Garden is where the stars come out, and with Selection Sunday just under three weeks away, No. 3 Duke and No. 10 St. John's are shining bright.

After a few slow games, Los Angeles got its first performance befitting all the hype that came with the former Dallas Mavericks star in a 123-100 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Dončić finished with 32 points on 10-of-22 shooting, 10 rebounds, seven assists and four steals.

The five-time All-Star will miss L.A.'s second night of a back-to-back as the team continues to manage his recovery.
