List of NBA single-game scoring leaders

This is a complete listing of National Basketball Association players who have scored 60 or more points in a regular season game.

This feat has been accomplished 91 times in NBA history. 37 players have scored 60 or more points in a game, while just ten players have joined the 70-point club. Only 10 players have scored 60 or more points on more than one occasion: Wilt Chamberlain (32 times); Kobe Bryant (6 times); Damian Lillard (5 times); Michael Jordan and James Harden (4 times); Elgin Baylor (3 times); and Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker, Luka Dončić, and Stephen Curry (2 times). Chamberlain holds the single-game scoring record, having scored 100 points in a game in 1962. The youngest player to score at least 60 points in a regular season game is Devin Booker (70 points; 20 years and 145 days), and the oldest is Bryant (60 points; 37 years and 234 days).
