The 'Most 50-point NBA games' quiz

Two Western Conference playoff series could come to an end tonight, starting the Phoenix Suns facing the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder at home down 3-0 in the series. 

The 121-109 Game 3 loss was the closest game of the series for Phoenix despite an off night from Devin Booker. The 11-year veteran scored 16 points on 6-of-16 shooting, with Dillon Brooks instead leading the way with 33. If the Suns are going to send the series back to OKC for a fifth game, they’re going to need more from Booker against the defending champions. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Booker has proven he can take over a game and carry a team when the mood strikes, scoring 50 points in eight different games over the course of his career. With that being said, can you name the NBA players with at least five 50-point games?

Good luck!
