- James Harden is favored to have the next 60+ point game with +150 odds.
HOUSTON – With the NBA season now in full swing, it is already shaping out to be an eventful one as there have already been multiple high scoring efforts. Stephen Curry led the way with a 62-point outing in just the Warriors' sixth game of the season and Bradley Beal followed shortly after in the Wizards' eighth game with a 60-point game.
With there now being two 60-point games this season, online sportsbooks have taken note of this and now offer odds on how many 70-point games there will be this season as well as who will score the next 60-point game.
2020-2021 NBA Season 70-Point Games
- Over 0.5 +800
- Under 0.5 -2500
Next Player To Have A 60-Point Game?
- James Harden +150
- Damian Lillard +200
- Stephen Curry +350
- Devin Booker +500
Set at 0.5 with longshot odds, 70+ point outings do not come often at all as the last time a player scored 70 or more was back in 2016-2017 (Devin Booker - 70 vs the Boston Celtics).
Before that, was way back in 2006 when Kobe Bryant scored 81 on the Toronto Raptors.
Being that there have only been two 70 or more-point outings since 2000, bettors might feel discouraged to take the over here, but it is not impossible.

There have been 11 total 70 or more point games in NBA history and those who are willing to light up a small amount would be met with a nice payout if it were to happen this season.
As for who will score the next 60-point game, James Harden is favored as he has the most 60-point games amongst the rest of the player.
Something else to take note of is that Harden has scored 60 or more points in a game during the last three seasons including two 60-point outings in the 2018-19 season. This certainly backs up Harden's odds for NBA scoring to be the next player to score 60 points.
Looking at Damian Lillard, he has the second shortest odds. Lillard and his scoring abilities are able to get him there but he does share the floor with many scores such as CJ McCollum, Carmelo Anthony and Jusuf Nurkic. Devin Booker, who has the longest odds, is in a similar situation as Lillard as he also shares the floor with a handful of scorers in Chris Paul, Jae Crowder and Deandre Ayton who could take touches away from Booker.
Stephen Curry, on the other hand, could be the dark horse candidate. As he is a top scorer in the league and will be without his right-hand man, Klay Thompson, Curry is the only reliable source of offense for the Warriors. Although Curry’s 62-point outing was just his first 60+ game, he could easily pop off for more being that the Warriors are not what they used to be on the offensive end.
