April 2026

Nikola Jokic is set to become the first player in NBA history to lead the league in both assists per game and rebounds per game over a single season. That would add another historic layer to his MVP case as Denver carry momentum into the playoffs. Jokic is tracking toward the unprecedented combination of 10.9 assists and 12.9 rebounds per game.

An unusual NBA milestone week highlighted how heavily fouls influenced two major scoring achievements, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander broke Wilt Chamberlain’s 20-point streak record and Bam Adebayo produced a huge scoring night driven by a record number of free throws. Gilgeous-Alexander extended his run to 127 straight 20-point games, with free throws playing a major part in keeping the streak alive. Adebayo’s outburst against Washington included NBA single-game records for free throws made and attempted, while the discussion also revived focus on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s long-standing career fouls mark.

December 2025

Kevin Durant and James Harden face each other in Houston for the first time as simultaneous top-10 all-time scorers, days after Durant passed 31,000 points and Harden climbed above Carmelo Anthony into 10th on the NBA’s career list. Harden’s late-career scoring surge after his Houston explosion years now has him chasing Shaquille O’Neal for ninth, while Durant’s sustained efficiency gives him a realistic shot at moving past Wilt Chamberlain, Dirk Nowitzki and even Michael Jordan if he maintains his current output.
