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?

Analysis: Trae Jones has been leading the Spurs in this metric every night, win or loss. Incredible first week for him. Members of the Clippers starting lineup continuously show up here, suggesting the strength of that unit compared to their bench at the moment.
