The '30 PPG NBA Playoffs' quiz

Joel Embiid made his first appearance of the postseason in Game 4 for the Philadelphia 76ers, but it didn’t help them much at home against the Boston Celtics. 

Embiid did score 26 points, grab 10 rebounds and dish out six assists in 34 minutes in his return from an appendectomy just before the postseason, but he was just 9-for-21 from the floor and Philly was a staggering -25 in his minutes in the 128-96 loss. 

The series shifts back to Boston on Tuesday night, where the Sixers face elimination if they aren’t able to grab a win on the road in Game 5. If Philadelphia is going to have a chance, they’ll likely need Embiid to bring the version of himself that averaged a playoff-high 33.0 points-per-game in the 2023-24 postseason. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the NBA players to average at least 30 points-per-game over the course of one postseason (minimum four games played) can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
