Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Doncic scored more in 2025-26, 9.9 points a game apart (33.5 vs 23.6), on Doncic's heavier usage (36.8% vs 27.9%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.0% vs 61.6%).

Playmaking goes to Doncic (8.3 vs 8.0 assists), the glass to Doncic (7.7 vs 4.8 rebounds).

With Doncic on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.8 per 100 possessions, against +1.8 for Harden; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Harden $30.6M through 2028-29, Doncic $49.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
