The 'NBA Playoff PPG leaders' quiz

Even with the Lakers missing Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, the Houston Rockets felt the absence of their own star in Kevin Durant as they fell 107-98 to an LA squad led by Luke Kennard’s 27 points and a near-triple-double from LeBron James. 

With Game 2 of the Rockets and Lakers set to close out the Tuesday slate of playoff games, the “Slim Reaper,” remains questionable with a deep bruise in his right knee.  

Durant was largely available and good for Houston during the regular season, starting 78 games in his first campaign as a Rocket while leading the team with 26.0 points-per-game at 37 years old. If the two-time Finals MVP isn’t able to go once again, the Lakers will have a golden opportunity to take a 2-0 series lead. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Durant has been one of the best scorers in NBA playoff history, averaging 29.3 points-per-game over 170 postseason contests. With that being said, can you name the NBA players with at least 10 playoff games under their belt to average at least 25.0 PPG in the postseason?

Good luck!
