New Orleans Pelicans

Lineup: D.Cunningham, A.Davis, B.Hield, S.Hill, J.Holiday

ORTG: 99.5 DRTG: 84.3

This lineup does not get it done at ALL on the offensive end, but this may be one of the better defensive units I have seen. Even with Buddy Hield out there, the lineup has an 84.3 DRTG in 105 minutes played. That is quality stuff from a team that is probably gonna be picking in the top 7.

New York Knicks

Lineup: C.Anthony, C.Lee, J.Noah, D.Rose, L.Thomas

ORTG: 115.1 DRTG: 95.6

The Knicks best lineup somehow doesn’t contain Kristaps, a every solid defender and offensive threat which is amazing to me. Besides that, this lineup justifies everything else. The numbers are also pretty astronomical, a +20 rating over the two is really good, especially for a team that has had a rough schedule so far.
