Clippers, 4 most used lineups are 3 horrendous, 1 neutral.

Only 31 used. Plenty of better performing options in tiny minutes. Explore some of them more fully.

Leonard, moderately to highly negative results with 9 of 10 teammates. 14th on team for team +/- on court, 15th and last for on / off. Swapping last and next to last with Chris Paul. Beal and Zubac take 3rd and 4th worst places.

What is working great in early small sample is Harden - Collins and Zubac or Lopez.

Pelicans:

10 of 13 5 man lineups negative.

13 of 15 quads negative.

13 of 15 trios negative.

17 of 20 pairs negative.

Most very badly.

Williamson 50 -50 positive / negative on full lineups and pairs. +28 on / off.

Almost entire benching performing badly.

Fears Jones Murphy Williamson Missi or Queen has played just 4 minutes. Probably should have been 60.

Heat, relatively concentrated line-up management. Mixed looking results at top but strong net margin. Fastest pace, pushing close to 108.

Bucks:

Most used pairs look pretty good

4 of 6 biggest trios are negative.

4 of 5 biggest quads are negative.

Biggest 5 man lineups are generally good but the starters are bad.

9 of 12 Trent pairs are negative. Same for Coffey. Nearly half of Portis pairs are also negative.

Fears Jones Murphy Williamson Missi starts tonight.

11 minutes at +4 / 48 min.

14 other mixed lineups are slightly negative overall. Enough to lose.

Wizards, 95% of 20 most used pairs are negative, all -7 to much worse.

4 of 5 most used lineups negative. Only 23% of 94 lineups positive. Biggest minute positive is all bench (currently).

14 average -10 to much much worse team +/- court, including all starters. 3 bench are better, 2 moderately, 1 greatly (Vukcevic). 3 positive on BPM. Completely different 3s. But probably focus on lineups built from those 6, if not in total tank mode.
Johnson Kispert Sarr Vukcevic and somebody. Quad with George completely untried as is quad at all. 3 most used combos only use 1-2 and are all bad.

Mavs:

Russell Flagg Washington Davis Lively completely unused. When Davis is back, it should be tried and heavily.
