Philadelphia 76ers

Lineup: R.Covington, J.Embiid, E.Ilyasova, T.McConnell, N.Stauskas

ORTG: 106.7 DRTG: 87.3

Quite honestly, this would be a very obvious best starting five for Philly if they wanted to win games. Ersan and Nik help you stretch the floor and Embiid and Covington are very quality defenders The counterargument to this is that 76ers aren’t trying to win, so this lineup has only seen 84 minutes of play.

Phoenix Suns

Lineup: E.Bledsoe, D.Booker, T.Chandler, P.Tucker, T.Warren

ORTG: 127.7 DRTG: 114.1

I mean the only real positive from this lineup is they score a lot and score fast. Everything else is pretty bad. The Suns are just young and rebuilding.
