The “best” statistical 5-man lineup in the NBA this season (given at least 120 minutes played) is Carmelo, Tyson Chandler, Felton, Kidd, and J.R. Smith. They have the highest “net rating” or greatest difference between the points they score per 100 possessions, and the points they give up per 100 possessions, at 23.6. This is 0.1 points more than the second place lineup (Team A), and 0.3 points more than the third place lineup (Team B) — so the differences between the top three teams are very slim.

Can you guess Team A and Team B?

Team A is the San Antonio Spurs with the lineup of Duncan, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Parker, and Tiago Splitter.

Team B is the Washington Wizards with the lineup of (I kid you not) Bradley Beal, Nene, Emeka Okafor, John Wall, and Martell Webster.

Granted, the Wizards’ lineup has played only 16 games (135 minutes) and I don’t know which teams each lineup has faced, but it is still impressive that somehow the Wizards’ lineup (with Bradley Beal!!! and Martell Webster!!!) have been just as efficient as the most efficient lineups for the Spurs and the Knicks.
