Top five NBA scorers at the All-Star Break

The NBA All-Star Game is proceeding on Sunday in Atlanta, even though the game is an exhibition event and there are 492, 745 active cases of coronavirus in the Georgia state alone. Most teams will welcome the break, as they need some rest before a busy second half of the schedule resumes next week. Here are the top five scorers in the NBA regular season to date.

5) Nikola Jokic–Denver Nuggets–With 977 points, the Nuggets All-Star has an impressive 27.1 points per game. Already this season, he had a 50-point performance in a 119-114 Nuggets loss to the Sacramento Kings. Jokic has also had nine triple-doubles in 2020-21, and became the third-fastest player to reach 50 triple-doubles in a career.

4) Damian Lillard–Portland Trail Blazers–With 1013 points, Lillard is averaging 29.8 points per game. That is just below the 30.0 points per game he averaged in 2019-20. Twice this season Lillard has had 44 points. He achieved that mark in a 123-122 Portland win over the Chicago Bulls on January 30, and then had 44 points again in a 123-119 Trail Blazers win over the Kings on Thursday.

3) Giannis Antetokounmpo–Milwaukee Bucks–With 1015 points, the Greek Freak is averaging 29 points per game. His season-high was 47 points in a 125-124 Bucks loss to the Phoenix Suns on February 10.

2) Stephen Curry–Golden State Warriors–With 1039 points, Curry is averaging 29.7 points per game. His most masterful performance came on January 3, when he scored 62 points in a 137-122 win over the Trail Blazers. That is the most points a player has scored in a single game this season.

1)Bradley Beal–Washington Wizards–Just because you score a lot of points does not mean your team is going to win. That is the case with Wizards star Bradley Beal, who leads the NBA with a career-high 32.9 points per game, and 1053 points. Beal is having a great season, even though the Wizards have been awful. They are 14-20, six games below the .500 mark, and out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
