Curry has scored 573 points this season, what about Harden, Durant, and James?
The games of 2024 have all come to an end, and the regular season has passed one-third of its schedule. So, let's take a look at how many points each star player has scored so far this season.
Curry
This season, Curry has played 26 games, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, scoring 22 points, grabbing 4.7 rebounds, dishing out 6.4 assists, and making 1.2 steals, with a shooting percentage of 43.7% and a three-point percentage of 40.1%, accumulating a total of 573 points so far. Compared to last season, Curry's statistics have declined to some extent this year, with his shooting percentage being the lowest in the past five seasons. It is precisely because of Curry's inconsistent performance that the Warriors are currently on the fringes of the play-in tournament.
Durant
There is no doubt that Durant is still one of the best scorers in the league, even with Booker and Beal, two great offensive players by his side, he can still average 27.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 51.2% and a three-point percentage of 41.1%. However, due to injury, Durant has only played 22 games so far, accumulating 610 points.
Harden
Due to Leonard's absence, Harden has proven to the outside world that he is still the unstoppable ball-dominant core. This season, Harden has played 32 games, averaging 21.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.3% and a three-point percentage of 34.7%, accumulating a total of 701 points so far. At the same time, Harden has also led the Clippers to a record of 19 wins and 14 losses, ranking sixth in the West.
James
It must be acknowledged that the 40-year-old James is still one of the best forwards in the league. This season, James has played 29 games, averaging 35 minutes per game, scoring 23.4 points, grabbing 7.7 rebounds, and dishing out 8.9 assists, with a shooting percentage of 49.7% and a three-point percentage of 36.2%, accumulating a total of 680 points so far. It is worth noting that James has already recorded 8 triple-doubles this season, second only to Jokic's 13, ranking second in the league.
Although the veteran stars have all performed well, the top five spots on the scoring list are occupied by young players, with Antetokounmpo leading the league with an average of 32.6 points, Alexander following closely with 31.3 points, and Jokic ranking third with 31 points, fourth is Ball with 30.1 points, and fifth is Tatum with 28.3%. It can be seen that the competition for the scoring title this year is extremely fierce, with a total of four players averaging over 30+. So, which player do you think will ultimately win the scoring title?
