Harden is the only player who averages 35+ points per game this season. There is no chance of a coach with 35+ points per game. Who will be next?

After playing the game against the Grizzlies yesterday, Doncic talked about the topic of averaging 40 points per game during the season. Although Reeves said that 0.77 can be achieved, and Smart also said that there is nothing impossible, Doncic himself still said that this is a difficult thing. What he said is pertinent. Although he is currently averaging 45.3 points per game, this is only the data of 3 games, and the season is still very long. In the history of the NBA, other than Chamberlain, no player has ever averaged 40+ per game in a season.
