What happened: Luka Doncic became the third player in NBA history to score at least 260 points through his first seven games of a season. Wilt Chamberlain accomplished the feat three times in 1959, 1961, and 1962, while Rick Barry reached the threshold once.

Why it matters: The scoring run places Doncic alongside two of the most prolific offensive players in 81 seasons of league history. He was previously named an MVP frontrunner by Orlando Magic coach Jamahl Mosley following a similar high-volume stretch last season.

What to watch: Doncic looks to maintain his historic scoring pace as the regular-season schedule continues.
