The 2025-26 NBA regular season delivered another year of jaw-dropping offense, headlined by Luka Doncic claiming the scoring crown in his first full campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Doncic on Top
Doncic led the league at 33.5 points per game while playing 64 games, and he also paced the NBA in total points with 2,143. His scoring title underscored a seamless transition to Los Angeles and kept the Lakers in the thick of the Western Conference race.
The Scoring Ladder
Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished second at 31.1 points per game (2,117 total points), followed by Minnesota's Anthony Edwards (28.8), Boston's Jaylen Brown (28.7), and Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxey (28.3).
In total points, Doncic and Gilgeous-Alexander were trailed by Brown (2,038), Houston's Kevin Durant (2,026), and Maxey (1,980).
Jokic's All-Around Dominance
Denver's Nikola Jokic once again stuffed the stat sheet, leading the entire league in both rebounds (12.9 per game) and assists (10.7 per game) — a rare double for a center and a reminder of why he remains the sport's most complete offensive hub.
Defensive Anchor
San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama finished as the league's top shot-blocker at 3.08 per game, continuing his ascent into one of the NBA's most feared defenders before signing his massive extension that summer.
The Backdrop
These individual milestones set the stage for a postseason that would ultimately belong to the New York Knicks, but the regular-season numbers confirmed that the league's offensive firepower — led by Doncic — has never been deeper.
