The first two parts of our By The Numbers series included overviews of the Pelicans’ overall WAR production and the defensive contributions to those totals, all with the help ofFiveThirtyEight’s CARMELO system. This, our third and final part, wraps up the series by examining CARMELO’s Pelicans lineup projections, measuring them against the rest of the Western Conference, and ultimately predicting how their season will play out. As always, I will be happy to answer any questions about the data in the comments or on Twitter.
