The 'NBA playoff triple-double leaders' quiz

While the top two teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences still await their first round playoff opponents, everyone else knows their first obstacle separating them from an NBA championship. 

One of the most intriguing of these matchups is the No. 4/No. 5 clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets. With Luka Doncic  likely to miss the series  with a hamstring strain he suffered in a loss to Oklahoma City on April 2 and Austin Reaves also down with an oblique injury, LeBron James will once again be going head-to-head with Kevin Durant as his team’s primary option.

The Lakers went 3-2 in the five games following Doncic’s injury, with James averaging 25.5 points-per-game in four of those contests he played. If he can keep that up for the first round against Houston, Los Angeles will still have a solid chance of advancing. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. James is no stranger to carrying a team through the playoffs, with the second-most postseason triple-doubles (28) in NBA history. With that being said, can you name the NBA players to record at least three triple-doubles in their playoff career?

Good luck!
