Method and data

Data: Basketball-Reference season leaders for points per game, and ESPN's game log for Dončić's first nine games of 2026-27, through Nov. 6, 2026. His average is from nine games, so it will move; the other seasons are full seasons.

Your guess: stored anonymously (the game, the number and the time, nothing about you) so we can show how all readers guessed. The answer and chart come from the data above, not from your guess.
