SGA’s ready to give Luka Doncic a run for his money in scoring title chase

Thunderous Intentions argues that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is poised to challenge Luka Doncic for the NBA scoring title. After OKC suffered multiple injuries across its roster, Gilgeous-Alexander increased his offensive workload, leading the team to a 6-2 start with consecutive 40-plus-point performances against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Writer Zane Gelphman notes that while Doncic has traditionally maintained a higher shot volume, Gilgeous-Alexander attempted 61 shots across his last two games. The writer suggests that if Gilgeous-Alexander continues to carry this elevated scoring responsibility for OKC, he could contend directly with Doncic for the league scoring crown.
