He’s averaging 30.0 points per game — a pace that would mark just his third season ever of averaging 30-plus points per game if he were to finish there. He averaged 30.1 in 2015-16, earning his first of two consecutive MVP trophies, and 32.0 in 2020-21.

He’s shooting 50.0 percent from the floor, well above his career average of 47.4 percent, and 43.4 percent from 3-point range, also above his career average (42.8 percent).

Despite all of that, the Warriors are just 14-15 heading into Friday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
