In the new season, who is expected to score 60 points in a single game? US media forecast: Doncic leads 10 players, Curry is on the list

Before retiring, I hope to get 100 points in a single game!

This is a meme that James mentioned to Nash on his personal basketball podcast. Yes, this is a joke, so is it enough to do it?

So far in his career, James has not scored more than 61 points in a single game. He scored 61 points during the Heat, and then he suddenly fell into a continuous decline in shooting percentage, which is really puzzling!

The competition style determines that he has fewer explosive scoring performances in his career, but if he insists on scoring, he believes that it is possible to score higher scores.

Maybe it will suddenly have a scoring feast in the last season of his career?

And in the new season, is this possible? At least in the view of media reporter JT Shemanski, it is difficult! The latter wrote an article today and listed the top 10 players who are most expected to score 60+ points in a single game in the 2025-26 season.

James, Durant and Harden were all out of the election

In the media's opinion, these three superstars have no hope of scoring the highest 60 points in a single game in the new season due to their age and lineup structure!

Durant's highest score in a single game is temporarily 55 points, and it is difficult to have 60 points at the peak. Now, when he is about to be 37 years old, he naturally misses the chance.

James has the ability to score 60 points in a single game, but the distribution of ball rights in the new season undoubtedly makes it difficult for him to achieve and his style and style are not mainly scored.

Harden still has a higher probability for us. Last season, the bearded man's shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were not ideal, but if he let go, 60 points in a single game is really no problem, after all, the skills are still there!

Doncic leads

Doncic is at the peak of his career. He has 60 points in a single game, and he thinks or not? After all, I have scored 60+ points in two single games so far! Among them, he scored 73 points in a single game last year, making him the holder of the highest score in active service. For this reason, in the media's opinion, Luca is the most likely!

Antesco and Jokic have more chances, and Jokic has the highest score of 61 points in a single game, while Antesco has 64 points. At first glance, it seems that 60+ points in a single game are not easy for them. In fact, Jokic has the most ball rights in the Nuggets, and he is basically the one who controls the ball rights.

This means that it only needs to increase the number of shots, and there are enough opportunities to get 60+ triple-double in a single game! Antetokounmpo's situation is similar. He can also be a big core with the ball and his scoring efficiency is still at the top of the league.

Alexander, Edwards, Mitchell and Cunningham, the four players are more similar in style, with outstanding breakthroughs and explosive scores.

Among them, Alexander has outstanding middle distance, Edwards has the strongest impact, Mitchell has 70+ in a single game, and Cunningham is a type of both scoring and organization. In terms of style and style, the ball is in hand, and they have a high probability of scoring 60+ in a single game in the new season.

Brunson and Booker are good at central shooting

Brunson and Brunson are both players with a large proportion of central shooting. Although they are not as powerful as DeRozan, their scoring explosiveness is even better than that!

Book is the fastest player in Kobe's single-game score of 70+ points in the 21st century. Brunson's shooting is his main offensive finishing skill. For this reason, as long as the hands feel and the game needs, 60 points in a single game are undoubtedly a high probability for these two people.

Curry's explosive three-pointer

Although he only scored 60+ points in his single game in the regular season in his career, no one would question whether Curry could not score more 60+ points in a single game!

Three-pointers are the most critical point, and the number of times he checked in three quarters has also affected his career data. The age is indeed like James and Durant, but Curry's threat on the court still makes his opponent pay great attention, which just shows the explosive scoring power of the three-point king.
