#6 James Harden (Houston Rockets)

Houston Rockets v Los Angeles Lakers - Game Five

James Harden gets a lot of flak for being inefficient in the playoffs, but that is simply not true. He ranked number one overall in clutch WPA last season and has made two buzzer-beaters in his career, both coming against Western Conference rivals Phoenix Suns.

#5 Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers)

Los Angeles Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers - Game Four

Damian Lillard has hit multiple buzzer-beaters in his career and ranked number one in clutch WPA for the NBA 2019-20 season (playoffs included). Apart from hitting the game-winning shots, he also has a low turnover rate in crunch time that makes him the ultimate clutch player.
