Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic became the third player in NBA history to score 600 points, 200 rebounds and 150 assists in the first 20 games of a season. Russell Westbrook (NBA 2016-17) and Oscar Robertson (NBA 1961-62) are the other two players to hold the record. Both had averaged at 30-point triple-doubles during their seasons. Doncic also became the second player under the age of 21 to score at least 600 points in his first 20 games. LeBron James did so in the NBA 2005-06 season, and both Doncic and James both scored exactly 614 points.
