A photo of Doncic enjoying a pint is circulating heavily prior to the Western Conference Finals.

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have a huge game tonight. The franchise hasn't been to the Western Conference Finals since 2011, however, they are back after a hard-fought series against the Phoenix Suns. Doncic was a monster against the Suns, and fans are very excited to see what he can do against a team like the Golden State Warriors, who are most certainly favored in the matchup.

When you're playing a big game like this one, preparation is everything. You have to be on top of things as you don't want the other team to get a leg up on you. Needless to say, you probably shouldn't be drinking any alcohol just hours before the match.
