Are The Rockets NBA’s Best Team?

I project more than 80% of their minutes to be played by returning players, the leagues fifth-highest mark.

Add in Westbrooks track record of playing more minutes than Paul, and Houston looks likely to excel again during the regular season.

Games played by each player are projected based on their time missed over the prior three NBA seasons, with a subjective guess made by Pelton at each teams minutes distributions.

RPM wins provide an estimate of the number of wins each player contributes to his teams win total on the season.
