Just this past week:
50 — LeBron James
53 — Kevin Durant
60 — Karl-Anthony Towns
60 — Kyrie Irving
51 — Saddiq Bey

Add Saddiq Bey to the growing list…
Over the last two weeks in the NBA we’ve had:
Six 50-point games (LeBron James 2x, Jayson Tatum, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Bey)
And two 60-point games over the last two days (Karl-Anthony Towns and Kyrie) – 9:30 PM Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
KD, Giannis and Evan Mobley were skinny coming into the league.
When you’re as skilled as those guys, it doesn’t matter.
Chet Holmgren is crazy skilled both offensively and defensively.
He’d be an incredible fit next to SGA and Giddey. – 7:09 PM

More on this storyline

Gerald Bourguet: A couple of camera guys at the arena said the fan was yelling at Deandre Ayton that he wasn’t worth the money, then told him something to the effect of “sit down, you little bitch.” McGee took exception to that and told him to watch his mouth, and it escalated from there -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / March 9, 2022 In the closing minute of their blowout loss to the Heat, the eighth loss in nine games for the Wizards, frustrations boiled over as Wizards assistant coach Mike Batiste left his seat on the bench to approach a heckling fan in the stands.W Batiste didn’t make it far, as Wizards centers Montrezl Harrell and Thomas Bryant rushed over to intervene. There was no physical contact between any member of the Wizards and a fan before Harrell ushered Batiste down the tunnel and into the locker room. “I was kind of at the scorers’ table, so I turned around after I think it kind of began,” head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said. “To my understanding, a fan or several fans said something that was out of line. Obviously, we have to take the high road and just can’t indulge in that. I think it was a situation where something was said that was a bit over the line and I think it got the best of one of our coaches. Either way, you have to take the high road.” -via NBC Sports / February 8, 2022 Wizards assistant coach Mike Batiste went into the stands to go after a fan at the end of his team’s 121-100 loss to the Miami Heat on Monday night. It was Washington’s eighth loss in nine games. Batiste, who was sitting in the second row and behind his team’s players, started to make his way towards a fan a few rows behind the Wizards bench. Batiste was held back by some Wizards players, including Montrezl Harrell and Thomas Bryant. -via Larry Brown Sports / February 8, 2022
