Stephen Curry and Yaxel Lendeborg Rank Among NBA's Top Scoring Duos

Stephen Curry and Yaxel Lendeborg have emerged as one of the NBA's most productive scoring duos early in the 2026-27 season, helping the Golden State Warriors build a seven-game winning streak after 10 games.

Doubts over a second option

Throughout the offseason, Warriors fans had questioned whether the team had a true No. 2 option to support Curry. Those concerns have eased considerably as the season has progressed, with supporters changing their tune as Golden State has won seven straight.

Much of that shift is due to Lendeborg, the recent NCAA champion, whose early production has exceeded initial expectations. Through 10 games, he is averaging 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, four assists, one steal and 0.8 blocks per game.

A top-three scoring pair

Curry, a former two-time MVP, and Lendeborg have formed a dynamic partnership. Among duos that have played at least five games together, the pair ranks third in the NBA in combined points per game, at 52.5.

Only two duos from the Los Angeles Lakers rank ahead of them: Luka Doncic with Austin Reaves, and Doncic with Walker Kessler. Doncic is averaging 40.1 points per game to begin the season.

Next up: New Orleans

The Warriors return home Monday night to face the New Orleans Pelicans. Curry and Lendeborg will look to continue their productive start as Golden State seeks to extend its winning streak.
