Dallas Mavericks

Lineup: H.Barnes, A.Bogut, D.Finney-Smith, W.Matthews, D.Williams

ORTG: 117.6 DRTG: 101.6

The Mavericks second most played lineup is their best but that isn’t saying much because they possibly have the most lineup combinations of any team so far. The lineup posts good numbers, but the Mavericks still suck. That’s blatant honesty.

Denver Nuggets

Lineup: W.Chandler, D.Gallinari, N.Jokic, J.Murray, J.Nelson

ORTG: 107.8 DRTG: 91.4

The Nuggets lineup combinations might be even worse than the Nets all thing considered. This lineup is still not , considering they have only played 41 minutes played together. Can someone explain what the hell is going on in Denver?
