How this depth chart is ordered

Each chart reads the team's last 5 games of the newest kind it has played: preseason games until its first regular season game, then regular season games only. The starting five are the players who started the largest share of the games they played, the newest games counting most and minutes breaking a tie, listed point guard to center.

Everyone else is ordered by minutes per game played in the window. 12 or more minutes per game in at least half the team's games is the rotation; the rest is the bench. The last games column shows each game's minutes, with a dot for a game he did not play.

Designations come from the day's NBA injury report. Players who logged no minutes in the window are listed apart with last season's minutes per game, so an injured starter never drops off his team's chart.
