It is not usual to see that in a single night 13 players are able to reach at least 30 points.
There were 13 games and in eight of them, one player or several, hit 30+ and some went even further and scored a 40+.
Jerami Grant (44)/Anfernee Simmons (38)/Jalen Brunson (32)
One of the big winners of the highest scoring night is Jerami Grant. The Trail Blazers‘ star set his personal NBA high, but he also became the Portland player to score the most points at Madison Square Graden in franchise history.
For the Blazers, the performance of Anfernee Simmons allowed him and Grant to score 82 points. Simmons went for 38 in what is his best scoring game this season. Jalen Brunson for the Knicks scored 32 in his second consecutive game reaching 30.
Trae Young (44 points)/Dejounte Murray (39)/Jalen Green (30)
Young, the Hawks‘ brilliant point guard, went all the way to 44 to see his team lose. For him, since he made it for the first time in 2019, it is the 28th game in which he managed to reach 40 points and the first time this season.
Murray combined with Young to score 83 between the two of them and Green stood out and scored 30 points, the third time he has scored at least 30 this season.
Bam Adebayo (38 points)
For the shorthanded Heat to beat the Wizards, 110-107, they had to rely on the best version of Bam Adebayo (38 points), but that’s the way it’s been all season. Adebayo has reached double figures in scoring in all 18 games he has played this season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (38 points)
On his way to another devastating night with 38 points, Antetokounmpo led his team to the win over the Cavs, 117-112, achieving a personal best: nine dunks.
Kevin Durant (36 points)
While the Nets continue their particular journey through the desert, Kevin Durant continues to deliver individual exhibitions wherever his team goes. In Indiana they fell, 128-117, but he finished with 36 points in 39 minutes, 20 of them in the last quarter.
Stephen Curry (33 points)
Of course, ‘Don Stephen’ couldn’t be missing from this list. It was another good day at the office for him: 33 points and victory for his Warriors, 129-118 against the Jazz.
Tatum (30)/Gilgeous-Alexander (30)/DeRozan (30)
Jayson Tatum reached 30 in the Boston Celtics‘ 122-104 win over the Sacramento Kings and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (third straight game) and DeMar DeRozan scored them in the same game in which the Thunder defeated the Bulls 123-119.
