Who leads the NBA Playoffs in scoring? Paul George, Trae Young, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are among the top 10 scorers in the NBA Playoffs.

No LeBron James and no Stephen Curry but fans have seen plenty of scoring in the NBA Playoffs.

The leading scorers in the NBA Playoffs are some of the leading scorers you’d expect to see, but there are a few surprises among the top 10.

With the Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers the last four teams playing, players from those teams represent seven of the top eight scorers. The lone player in the top eight who isn’t playing is Brooklyn Nets star, Kevin Durant.

Durant is a multiple-time scoring champion and put on a show for the depleted Nets before losing to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. His 411 points trail Paul George’s 490 and Trae Young’s 447. With Young missing Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals with a deep bone bruise and George putting up a career-high 41 in the Game 5 win vs. the Suns, he’s at the top of the NBA Playoffs scoring leaderboard.
