Los Angeles Lakers fans are split down the middle on whether Brandon Ingram should start when he comes back from his ankle injury or if he should come off the bench. Let’s take a look at the numbers and see what makes the most sense for the Lakers.
Here are the Lakers three most successful lineups so far this year:
1. Ball, Hart, James, Kuzma, McGee: 107 minutes played, +26 points
2. Ball, Hart, James, Kuzma, Chandler: 35 minutes played, + 24 points
3. KCP, Hart, McGee, Rondo, Stephenson: 21 minutes played, +13 points
Ingram doesn’t appear in any of the Lakers’ three best lineups, but Josh Hart is in all of them.
