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

In the first round of the NBA Playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves were in the driver’s seat for Game 6 of their series with the Denver Nuggets. 

But now they're on the other side of things in the Western Conference semifinals, facing elimination on Friday night at home against the San Antonio Spurs. Even after a 126-97 drubbing in Game 5, Minnesota star Anthony Edwards  said he doesn’t “see anybody in our locker room that’s too worried.”

Edwards has played through knee injuries this series, but even with limited minutes in the first two contests has averaged 23.6 points and 5.6 rebounds-per-game. If the Wolves are going to force a Game 7, they’ll need a performance more like his 36-point effort in Game 4.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Edwards has proved on many occasions he can carry the Wolves in a game, scoring at least 40 points 10 times in 2025-26. With that being said, can you name the active NBA players to score 40 or more points at least 10 times in a single campaign?

Good luck!
