What the numbers mean

Net rating is points scored minus points allowed per 100 possessions. The gap compares the minutes in your filter with all the others. A big one is a lead to follow, not a verdict.

Mind the sample

Lineups change with the opponent, the score and garbage time, and early in a season a few minutes move everything. That is why the sample meter sits under every result.

Where it comes from

We rebuild who was on the floor from the play-by-play and check each game against the official minutes. Possessions are estimated. The full method.
