How to read lineup plus-minus

Raw plus-minus shows the score swing, while net rating adjusts that margin per 100 possessions. Read both with minutes and matchup notes.

Usage notes

  • +/- = points for - points against
  • Off Rtg = points for / possessions x 100
  • Def Rtg = points against / possessions x 100
  • Net Rtg = Off Rtg - Def Rtg

Frequently asked questions

Is net rating better than plus-minus?expand_more

They answer different questions. Plus-minus is the real margin, while net rating normalizes the result to 100 possessions.

Can I trust low-minute lineups?expand_more

Treat them carefully. Short stints are sensitive to opponent lineups, foul trouble, and game context.
