In the line Destroy(GameObject) you are trying to destroy the class GameObject instead of a variable just change that to Destroy(gameObject);

Also, I am not sure if ScoreManager.AddPoints is a static method or not, if it is not then you will need to create a variable for the ScoreMananger in the script and drop in the score manager object inside unity editors inspector.
