The 'NBA Christmas Day 40-point games' quiz

Created on December 22, 2025 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: 0.0 out of 32 (0%) | Quiz FAQ

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama will make his second-ever NBA Christmas Day appearance this year against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the buzz saw that is the OKC Thunder. If the Spurs are going to pull off the holiday upset, they might need him to replicate his 42-point, 18-rebound performance from his Christmas Day debut last season.

Wembanyama is averaging 24.4 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.3 blocks-per-game this season. While he missed 12 games with a calf strain, the Spurs are still just a few games behind Oklahoma City in the Western Conference.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Wembanyama owns one of just 32 40-point Christmas Day performances. With that being said, how many of the players to record at least 40 points on Christmas can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
