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.
