Lineups

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 Los Angeles Lakers five man lineup in the 2025-26 NBA season is M. Smart - D. Ayton - L. Dončić - R. Hachimura - A. Reaves, at +12.8 points per 100 possessions across 116 minutes and 247 possessions, through August 9, 2026. Ratings are adjusted toward the team average by sample size, so a lineup with few possessions is not ranked on noise.
