With Jimmy Butler putting up 52 points against Charlotte in the new year, eight different NBA players now have at least 50 points in a game just this season. We rank each of those performances

Eight difference players have no scored at least 50 points in a game during the 2016-17 NBA season. That equals an NBA record, tied with the 1989-90 season and last season, the 2015-16 campaign.

Here to break down which performance was the best 50+ point output of the season so far is yours truly.

Please note that accompanying statistics such as rebounds and assists will not significantly boost the value of the performance. This is a ranking of scoring performances, not game performances.
