While DeMar DeRozan is easily having the best offensive season of his eight - year NBA career, Thursday's performance marked the first time this season where the All-Star shooting guard had back - to - back games with at least 40 points. DeRozan followed up 42 points on 17 - of - 38 shooting from the field in Tuesday's comeback victory against the Bulls with 40 points on an even more efficient 14 - of - 25 shooting from the field in Thursday's blowout victory over the Heat. And while it may have been the first time DeRozan had back - to - back 40 - point games this season, 40 - point games have not necessarily been a rarity for him, with Thursday's performance serving as his sixth such performance of the year. This comes after a 2015 - 16 campaign where DeRozan did n't have a single 40 - point performance throughout the season, with his season - high being 38 points.
