Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his incredible run
The 25-year-old has scored more than 30 points 47 times in 62 games this season, tying Kevin Durant’s OKC record for the most 30-point games in a season. No matter who Oklahoma City plays, Gilgeous-Alexander has been a reliable offensive player; in 2023–24, he scored 30 points or more against 25 different teams.
SGA will have scored more than thirty points against every NBA opponent if he manages to score at least thirty points in the Thunder’s remaining games against the Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors, and Indiana Pacers.
This week, when Mark Daigneault’s club hosts Dallas on Tuesday and the Pacers on Thursday, the Oklahoma City star will have the opportunity to cross the Mavericks and Pacers off his list.
Oklahoma City will play Indiana again on April 5 and then host Milwaukee at the Paycom Center the following week. Oklahoma City’s final regular-season game against Dallas is set for April 14. This means that SGA will have two opportunities to score 30 points or more against the Pacers, Mavericks, and Bucks.
James Harden, a guard for the Denver Bronx at the time, made NBA history in 2019 by being the first player to score at least 30 points in a season versus 29 other teams. When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird both reached 30 points against every team in the NBA, there were only 22 teams in the league.
No player has been able to score 30 or more points against every team in the league in a single season since Harden’s remarkable campaign, providing Gilgeous-Alexander with the chance to add a noteworthy honor to his MVP resume.
