Mavs are 11-7 with Luka/Kyrie/Lively playing. Thats a 56 win pace!

So I think I like him at the 4 playing with another center.  We will see if he can stay healthy and what position and matchups Kidd plays him at.  I wonder what a lineup of Dwight, Maxi, Josh, Exum and either Kyrie/Luka looks like.    Dwight, Maxi and Josh are close friends.  Josh and Exum played together on the national team.  Might be a good pairing to give Luka extended rest.  Outside shooting could be a concern.

Can one of you stats guys check the lineup minutes and zero in on which lineup he's talking about? I'm curious as to whether it's really their "best" lineup.

ORTG 146.4 | DRTG 85.5 | NET 61.0

The top (minutes) lineups for each team:

OKC top LU - 509 min
MIN top LU - 429 min
LAC top LU - 332 min
DEN top LU - 593 min
DAL top LU - 99 min

Not specifically that we don’t have a single lineup that’s played 100+ minutes. It was definitely tied to injures and the lack of playing time together, especially when you see the top teams in the west have 5-man lineups that have played 500-600 minutes this year.
