The trade deadline has come and gone, and every team has played at least 64 games, so here are the 16-game splits for games 49-64 (asterisks placed on teams that would make the postseason if only six teams made it per conference):

As I did for the START, OLD YEAR, and ALL-STAR BREAK/MIDSEASON reviews, I will run through each team’s offensive and defensive rankings (efficiency); the time period here will be from February 2 through March 11. I’ll also add in the most used lineup during that timespan, with net efficiency and minutes played.
This month, I’ll be highlighting players in the most used lineups that did not start the 2016-2017 season with the team they are currently on.
