The 'Most 40-point NBA games since the merger' quiz

When the Golden State Warriors welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves into the Chase Center tonight, they’ll do so with a welcome face back in the lineup. After missing five games while dealing with a thigh injury, Steph Curry is expected to return to the hardwood for Golden State. 

“I’m feeling great, had a good rehab week,” Curry told the media. 

“I’m happy to practice the last couple of days, and seeing how I feel after these last two sessions, I’m pretty optimistic.”

Curry is averaging 27.9 points-per-game at 37 years old this season, but the Warriors were able to weather his time away with a 3-2 record and road wins over Cleveland and Chicago. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Even in his 17th NBA season, Curry has shown he can still score at an elite level with three 40-point efforts in 16 games played. With that being said, can you name the players with the most 40-point games since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77?

Good luck!
