Mavs notebook: Luka leading NBA scoring uptick; will it continue?

As of Friday morning, there were nine players in the NBA averaging 30 points or more per game, led by Luka Donu010diu0107 at a shade over 36.

To illustrate how unusual it is to have those nine players on the north side of 30 per game, consider that in the last six seasons, only nine players total have averaged more than 30 points for a season.

Only one did it last year, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid.

Now, you are correct. This is a tiny sample size. Most teams have played four or five games. But there’s a lot of scoring going on in the first two weeks of the season, led by Luka.
