The 'Most 30-point NBA Playoff games' quiz

The Cleveland Cavaliers raised a lot of eyebrows when they acquired James Harden from the Los Angeles Clippers at the 2026 trade deadline. Through the first two games of the NBA playoffs, the deal seems to be working out for the Cavs. 

Harden and backcourt mate Donovan Mitchell have combined for 112 points, 23 assists and 17 rebounds in Cleveland’s two wins over the Toronto Raptors in the first round. Harden also added five steals in Game 2, moving him into  11th all-time on the playoff steals leaderboard with 288.

While Harden has been good, Mitchell’s been even better, scoring 30+ points in each of the contests as the series heads to Toronto. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Playing in his ninth postseason, Mitchell is now 24th all-time on the NBA Playoffs 30-point games leaderboard with 33. With that being said, can you name the NBA players with at least 30 30-point playoff games?

Good luck!
