The 'Most 30-point NBA games at 35+' quiz

The Houston Rockets are officially locked into a spot in the Western Conference playoff field, but still have room to move up a couple spots before the regular season ends. Performances like their win over Golden State in Steph Curry’s return to action are helpful.

Kevin Durant hit the 30-point mark for the 28th time this season to out-duel Curry’s 29 in his first game since Jan. 30, and he assisted on Alperen Sengun’s  go-ahead layup with 11 seconds left in the game to stave off the furious Warriors rally. 

With just four games left in the regular season, the Rockets sit in fifth place but trail the Denver Nuggets and ailing-Lakers by just one game.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Since turning 35 years old before the 2023-24 NBA season, Durant has scored 30 points in at least 21 games each season. With that being said, can you name the NBA players to score 30 points on five or more occasions in the same season after turning 35 years old?

Good luck!
