Shai Gilgeous-Alexander keeps making history. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard has recorded his 126th consecutive game with at least 20 points, tying Wilt Chamberlain for the obscure NBA record.
Gilgeous-Alexander achieved the feat with a 3-pointer in the third quarter against the Denver Nuggets Monday for his 20th, 21st and 22nd points of the game.
Gilgeous-Alexander’s streak dates back to October 30, 2024, when he scored 18 points in a win over the San Antonio Spurs. Since then, the point guard has been consistently churning out high double-digit performances, occasionally dipping down toward 20 but never falling below it.

He entered Monday’s game averaging 31.6 points per game across the first 53 games of the 2025-26 season. Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged more than 30 points per game across his last four seasons in Oklahoma City and led the league in scoring during his 2024-25 MVP campaign with 32.7 points per game.
Chamberlain set the 20-point games record across the 1961-1963 seasons, while playing for the now-Golden State Warriors. During that stretch, the Warriors moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco, with Chamberlain continuing to put up 20-plus points per game in that time.
The Thunder play the Boston Celtics at home on Thursday, meaning Gilgeous-Alexander only has to wait a few days to try and pass Chamberlain.
