Pistons lineup posts a +28.8 net rating in 184 minutes
A five-man Detroit unit has outscored opponents at a rate few lineups reach, across a real sample of minutes.
Plus-28.8. That is the net rating for the Detroit five-man lineup of T. Harris, D. Robinson, J. Duren, A. Thompson and D. Jenkins over 184 minutes this season, as of June 13, 2026.
This group scores at a 127.7 offensive rating and allows just 99 on defense. Both ends are working together, not just one covering for the other. A number this size, sustained past 22 games, is not a fluke of a handful of possessions.
184 minutes is a meaningful sample for a five-man unit, but it is still a fraction of a full season for one team. Whether it holds depends on Detroit keeping this exact grouping on the floor together, since net rating for a specific lineup lives and dies with continuity: injuries, rotation changes or a coaching adjustment can end the sample before it grows.
If the Pistons lean into this lineup and the numbers stay close to +28.8, it points to one of the most efficient units in the league on a per-possession basis. If the minutes stay scarce, it stays a small-sample signal worth tracking rather than a proven feature of how this team wins.
