The 'Most 40-point games in a season' quiz

The NBA’s Eastern Conference may have a Boston problem. 

With both Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the lineup against the Miami Heat, the Celtics exploded for 147 points thanks to 25 from Tatum and 43 from Brown. Tatum added 18 rebounds and 11 assists for his first triple-double of the season, while Brown posted his career-high seventh game of 40+ points in a single season. 

While the Celtics have been looking up at the Pistons in the Eastern Conference standings most of the year, they’ve lost just one game this season with Tatum in the lineup this season. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. The 43-point effort was the seventh time Brown has scored at least 40 points in a game this season. With that being said, can you name the active NBA players to score 40 points six or more times in one campaign?

Good luck!
