As you've likely noticed, winning Clutch Time games in NBA 2K22 MyTEAM isn't the easiest thing to do, especially if you aren't running the right lineup.
However, we can help you build a proper lineup that will guarantee you more success when you jump into Clutch Time in Season 3.
Let's go over the best player at each position for Clutch Time in NBA 2K22 MyTEAM.
NBA 2K22 MyTEAM Best Clutch Time Lineup
Building the best Clutch Time lineup in NBA 2K22 is about having a strong mix of players, not just the top shooters at each position. It may help, but it won't guarantee wins.
If you want to get wins, grind XP, and earn rewards, primarily the Pink Diamond Damian Lillard. You'll have to craft a team that you're familiar with as well, as the timing online in NBA 2K22 MyTEAM is much different than offline games.
Let's go over our pick for each position and why we'd have them there. Along with their price in the Auctions to make sure you stay within a good NBA 2K22 MyTEAM budget.
We'll get started with perhaps the most important position when it comes to running the backcourt.
Point Guard - Pink Diamond Stephen Curry - (95 OVR)
Having Stephen Curry run the backcourt is nearly a no-brainer. The main reason being that Curry works on a couple of different levels. He's a great shooter, obviously, but he also draws attention away from the rest of your NBA 2K22 MyTEAM.
Your opponent will have to adjust his defensive settings to focus on Curry, which will leave other players open. Curry also has the Limitless Spot Up Badge, making him a great shooter from the 4-PT Line in Clutch Time. You can get the Pink Diamond Stephen Curry for a little over 100K MT.
Shooting Guard - Diamond Klay Thompson - (93 OVR)
Why not add another Warriors player to your MyTEAM lineup? Klay Thompson is an incredible shooter and with the attention on Stephen Curry, Thompson will be open more often.
Setting off-ball screens are ideal for Klay Thompson and having him open on for corner threes is a great way to grab easy shots. Thompson also has an A+ to Playmaking and Perimeter Defense which helps you guard opponents beyond the arc. He's going for around 75K MT at NBA 2K22 Auctions.
Small Forward - Diamond LeBron James - (92 OVR)
This is when we'll start to tailor our players to a different approach in NBA 2K22 MyTEAM. LeBron is going to serve as a physical presence that can grab rebounds and drive inside with ease. He's also one of the least expensive options in the MyTEAM Auctions at just 50K MT.
Say you've got the ball with only a few seconds left in the quarter and you only need one more score. You don't want to rely on a 3PT shot though, as it could be risky. Taking control of LeBron and his Acrobat, Fearless Finisher, and Slithery Finisher Badges will land you an easy two points.
Power Forward - Diamond Kevin Durant - (92 OVR)
To pair with the physicality of LeBron James, you need someone who has the finesse of Kevin Durant. Durant has great shooting, great defense, and an A+ to Basketball IQ. At this point, you'll have four players who will do more than enough Clutch Time scoring.
You can find a Diamond Kevin Durant for about 15K MT in NBA 2K22 MyTEAM, making him an incredible option for budget builds. Now that you have your scorers all set, it's time to grab someone that'll get you some much-needed offensive rebounds.
Center - Diamond Patrick Ewing - (94 OVR)
We know what you're thinking, that Patrick Ewing can't shoot from beyond the arc. However, we don't need him for that. We need him to get rebounds and kick the ball out to our scorers. There isn't a better rebounder aside from Dikembe Mutombo in NBA 2K22 MyTEAM than Ewing.
He's also an incredible interior-scorer that your opponent will have an incredibly hard time stopping. Most importantly, Ewing is going for as little as 12K MT in the Auctions. This team will make your Clutch Time lineup one of the most unstoppable in NBA 2K22.
