This is the longest streak we’ve ever seen. How long do you think it’ll keep going, who will keep it going, and what new player do you think will add their names to the list?

    I don’t think it’s a coincidence this streak started in 2016. The game is just much faster nowadays and stars are allowed to shoot as many 3’s as they want now. I really don’t see this streak being broken any time soon.

    There’s so many players that honestly wouldn’t surprise me if I see them having 60 on a given night. Nearly one in every team.

    Trae Young, Tatum, Giannis, Embiid, Mitchell, Steph, Dame, Giannis, Booker, KD, Luka, Kyrie, Ja Morant could all get there.

    Anyways, as a surprising pick I’d go to Jalen Green or Jalen Brunson.

    If one of Derozen/Lavine gets traded and you let the other one cook by himself I think one of them might do it. They both already have multiple over 50 point performances.

    60’s becoming the new 50, it seems. I don’t know how I feel about it…on one hand, it’s awesome to many talented players are playing but at the same time, it really does feel like stats are crazily inflated and rules have leaned too much in the offense’s favor.

    Anthony Edwards set his career high at 49 points last season. He could go off and hit 60+ this season, given the right circumstances.

    Joel Embiid scored 59, 53, and 52 in a four month stretch last season. He could score 60+, especially if Harden never plays for 76ers again, like some are speculating.

    Giannis scored 55 and 54 in a month span last season. He could hit 60+, with Lillard racking up like 15 assists.

    Kevin Durant scored a career high 55 last season. He could hit 60+ in a game that Booker and Beal are sitting out.

    Anthony Davis had 55 last season. He could hit 60+.

    Lauri Markkanen went off for 49, 43, 40, and 38 in a two month span last season, with high fga and fta. He could hit 60+ in an OT (or longer) game.
