The 'Most career 40-point playoff games in NBA history' quiz

Created on April 30, 2025 | Total tries: 8755 | Average Score: 31.4 out of 35 (90%) | Quiz FAQ

Neither Luka Doncic nor LeBron James are strangers to carrying teams down the stretch of seasons, and head coach JJ Redick is leaning heavily on his stars in the Lakers first round series with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both Doncic and LeBron have played more than 40 minutes-per-game in the series, and Redick left the same five players on the floor for the entire second half in the Game 4 loss that put L.A. on the brink of elimination. With Anthony Edwards working to build on his giant-slayer reputation, the younger Luka and LeBron have a tall task ahead of them.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Both Luka and Lebron have shown the ability to will their teams to victory with the season on the line. With that being said, how many of the players with the most 40-point games in the NBA playoffs can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
