NBA 2018-2019: POST-TRADE DEADLINE

Categories:

Thoughts

by Law Murray

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, defensive, and net rankings (efficiency); the time period here will be from January 28 through March 8. 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 2018-2019 season with the team they are currently on.

Here are the offensive and defensive efficiency rankings for the entire season through March 8 all in one place:
