What is this

Five man groups ranked by a net rating that accounts for sample size, plus what happens to the team when each player sits.

The most effective Cleveland Cavaliers five man lineup in the 2026-27 NBA season is M. Hezonja - D. Mitchell - J. Allen - S. Merrill - J. Tyson, at +8.0 points per 100 possessions across 16 minutes and 35 possessions. Ratings are adjusted toward the team average by sample size, so a lineup with few possessions is not ranked on noise.
