Is it mandatory in the NBA to have a specific staring 5?
I mean i always see posts about who will be the fifth starter for the Bucks for example.
Can they just have 4 main starters and rotate the 5th one based on the opponent or the form of each player?

    Nah I’m pretty sure you just need to submit your roster of 13 men but you can start any 5 you like

    6th men start all the time

    It doesn’t matter who starts the game, it matters who ends it. If you have 3-4 stars, and enough quality role players who can comfortably fill the last 1-2 spots dependent on matchups, then you’re in a good spot.

    I imagine we’ll see the Celtics run different lineups this season, with either White, Horford or possibly Porzingis starting from the bench in different games.
