Which NBA teams have a #2 scorer averaging 27 PPG or more?

I can think of only 1 - Boston Celtics. Jayson is scoring 31.0 PPG, Jaylen 27.0. That's a combined 58.0 PPG for the season. Pretty amazing.

Oops! I just checked. Anthony Davis is playing second fiddle to LeBron's 27.8 PPG with 27.4 of his own. 55.2 PPG total. Other than that no one else comes close.

KD is at 29.9. Kyrie is at 26.1 - 56.0 PPG total - but Jaylen does so much more than Kyrie for his team. After that it drops off a cliff.

Who said the Celts simply had to split up the J's?

Kendrick Perkins!!

Correct!

He is not the only one. Cedric Maxwell also said that as did several other sports media folks that report on the Celtics.

They were wrong. Dead wrong.

They were wrong but at the time the J’s were not playing the way they are now or the second half of last season.
Many had doubts. The J’s changed the way they played which led to a changing of the minds.
