Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki is inching higher and higher on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
He became the sixth player to notch 31,000 points with a one-legged fadeaway against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Feb. 28.
Nowitzki has 31,063 points and on Saturday against the host Memphis Grizzlies, he will have a chance to climb closer to Wilt Chamberlain, who is next on the list with 31,419 points.
In three games this month, Nowitzki is averaging 19.3 points. In a season where his 12.5 points per game is the lowest average since his rookie season, the past three games have been a significant improvment.
