What happened: Luka Doncic has 361 points through nine games of 2026-27, a 40.1 points-per-game average. He joins Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in NBA history to average 40-plus through the first nine games of a season.

Why it matters: Through eight games Doncic had 308 points, the most through eight games since Michael Jordan's 303 in 1988-89, per the NBA. It is the same Doncic who trailed only Chamberlain in scoring over his first 100 Lakers games.

By the numbers: 361 points in nine games (40.1 PPG). 308 points through eight games, 53 in the ninth.

What to watch: Doncic's next game shows whether the 40-point average holds past nine games.
