Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves Make NBA History as League’s Top-Scoring Duo

The partnership between Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves wasn’t hyped as a superstar pairing in the offseason — but on the court, the two have formed one of the NBA’s most electric and productive duos.

Their chemistry has grown so naturally that it’s turned into a competitive game within the game. Deep threes, highlight drives, even dunk “competitions” — the friendly battles have elevated not just their individual play, but the entire Lakers offense.

And now, the numbers show this duo is doing something historic.

📚 A Historic Milestone: Three Straight 30-Point Games Each

After Sunday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Luka and Reaves joined extremely rare company.

They are now just the fourth duo in NBA history to each score 30 or more points in three consecutive games, matching a feat achieved only by:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo & Damian Lillard — Bucks, 2023
• Monta Ellis & Corey Maggette — Warriors, 2010
• George Gervin & Mike Mitchell — Spurs, 1984

Here’s what the Lakers’ duo produced in their three-game explosion:

• vs. Clippers: Luka 43, Reaves 31
• vs. Mavericks: Luka 35, Reaves 38
• vs. Pelicans: Luka 34, Reaves 33

Each game was a duel of shot-making, pace control, and pure offensive brilliance.

🎯 The NBA’s Top Scoring Duo — And Growing the Gap

Individually, Luka Doncic continues to lead the league in scoring, now averaging 35.1 points per game.

But together?

They’re the highest-scoring pair in the NBA, averaging a massive 63.9 points per game, comfortably ahead of the next-best tandem:

• Doncic & Reaves — 63.9 PPG
• Jokic & Murray — 52.9 PPG

The separation isn’t small — it’s dominant.

This isn’t just about Luka being Luka. It’s about Reaves stepping fully into a co-star role, attacking with confidence, shooting at elite levels, and relieving pressure in every offensive scenario.

🎭 From Offseason Rumors to On-Court Reality

Remember the offseason narratives?

Claims that Reaves didn’t want to play next to Luka?

Concerns that Luka’s arrival would diminish Austin’s role?

All of that has aged poorly — very poorly.

Instead, Reaves has flourished alongside the Slovenian superstar. Their play styles mesh beautifully: Luka the orchestrator with unmatched vision, Reaves the fearless scorer and secondary creator who thrives in space.

The result is not just high-level production — it’s history.

🏁 The Bottom Line

Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves have become the Lakers’ offensive engine, the NBA’s most productive scoring duo, and now part of a historic 30-point streak only three other tandems have ever achieved.

The chemistry is real.

The production is elite.

And the ceiling for this duo — and this Lakers team — keeps climbing.
