Durant and Curry both are 35y and could hit TOP10 this year. Could they reach TOP3 this year?

Re: The most points per season after 35y +
Some fair cliff edges within the top 5.
6 and on are bunched together.
Assuming this is Reference age (haven't checked DoB) total points short-sells '99 (age 35) K Malone who in the lockout year if you prorate 50 games (the amount the Jazz played, Malone played 49 - therefore the assumption is missing the same proportion of games) out to a full 82 game schedule the '99 season would be at 1908.96 points, giving him second.
Karl is the dominant figure in this (new) top 6 including '99. Kareem sneaks one season in there then dominates the 7-11.
Pace is another factors here (one that helped English). But putting that aside ... from Reference
GSW played 55, 1148 points scales to 1711.563636 for Curry. Scale his 52 games played to 82 (and he can't actually play that but in theory) it scales to 1810.307692.
Phoenix have played 57. 1404 scales to 2019.789474 for Durant which would give him 3rd place. Scale his 50 played to 82 (again, this obviously can't happen) that would scale to 2302.56 which would be first. Whilst the majority of those points are already lost if Durant played more in the last portion of the season than in the first he might more of a shot at 2nd.
In neither case should this be a priority. Teams sensibly resting older, important players before the playoffs would hurt their totals and possibly their ranking.

Curry has 1448 pts after 55 games.
Indeed. Wrong digit duplicated. Corrected below.
So those should have read read
GSW played 55, 1448 points scales to 2158.836364 for Curry. Scale his 52 games played to 82 (and he can't actually play that but in theory) it scales to 2283.384615.

Re: The most points per season after 35y +
Lebron has a pretty good shot at getting top 10 as well, 1573 points with 11 games left to play, might even end up passing Malone for 5th if he doesn't miss more than a game.
