The Wizards have spent most of the first month of the season looking for a lineup other than their starting unit that could be a positive for the team. Over the past few games, they’ve finally found something that has shown quite a bit of promise.
When the Wizards sub out Markieff Morris, make Otto Porter the stretch four, and insert Kelly Oubre at small forward, the Wizards have been remarkably effective. Washington has outscored opponents by 38 points in the 36 minutes they’ve played together so far this season. That translates to a Net Rating of +51.
