The NBA has been undergoing something of an offensive renaissance this season, with a ton of 50-point games one can point to as evidence of the scoring explosion that has been one of the hallmark qualities of 2022-23.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Devin Booker, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Luka Doncic, and Joel Embiid are not exactly huge surprises to have had such games, but (respectfully) was anyone expecting a 50-piece from guys like Darius Garland, Jrue Holiday, or Julius Randle? Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Pascal Siakam, and Klay Thompson also dropped 50-burgers this season, as did star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum.
