It likely goes without saying that any team in the NBA that is actively contending for a title is not putting garbage lineups on the court all that often. And a new assessment from Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey added more weight to that perspective with his A grade for the Boston Celtics’ most commonly used lineup of Marcus Smart, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Al Horford.
Over the course of 909 possessions this season, that lineup has produced a positive 12.2 net rating for the ball club.
