The 'Active 50-point NBA games' quiz

Nikola Jokic has started the 2025-26 NBA season off doing his usual Jokic things, averaging 28.8 points, 13.1 rebounds and 10.9 assists-per-game in 11 contests. Before Wednesday night, Jokic had “only,” maxed out at 35 points in one game on the young campaign.

But that changed against the reeling Los Angeles Clippers, as Jokic went off for 55 points with 12 rebounds and six assists, tying Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the most points in one NBA game so far this year. With Jokic once again playing at an NBA level, it isn’t surprising that the Denver Nuggets are 9-2 and in second place in the Western Conference. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Jokic is one of 49 active NBA players to score 50 points in an NBA game at least once. How many of those 49 NBA players can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
