Note: Plus/minus for individual games is a questionable stat in terms of evaluating comprehensive, long term individual player impact. It merely indicates when teams performed well or poorly in a particular matchup and a particular game, which at a minimum speaks to a particular configuration performing or not against another team. This can speak to when a team won the game, which can be interesting and I do find interesting. Did they create a lead with their bench or did they create a lead with their starters?

For example, the numbers from last night suggest Jokic outplayed his minutes against AD, and this was important, and that Yuta and Jordan over-delivered in their role player capacity off the bench.

Nuggets defeat Lakers by 12.

  • Nikola Jokic (+15)
  • Gabe Vincent (-17)
  • Anthony Davis (-17)

Suns defeat Warriors by 4.

  • Yuta Wantabe (+7)
  • Jordan Goodwin (+7)
  • Andrew Wiggins (-22)
