The high-scoring performances around the NBA this season have been on another level, with Luka Doncic following Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 50-piece on Sunday night with one of his own on Monday.
The Mavericks guard now has four 50-point games this season, continuing what’s been a historic season so far. Not only is overall scoring the highest its been in over 50 years, the league is setting an all-time mark for offensive efficiency.
At the midway point of last season, only four players had 50-point games.

Doncic is one of five players this season with multiple 50-point games, with his four leading the league and is among a group of 12 players to cross the 50-point mark this season.
Not only does that number dwarf last season’s mark at this same point, it is BY FAR the most ever around the halfway point.
