Bars show where this card sits within its own pack (30 nba teams), by simple rank of the measured value. Higher is only higher -- no quality judgement is implied.
What stands out
- LeBron James leads the team in total minutes (6,940.9) and posts a 40.5 combined PRA-per-36 rate.
- The team scored 116.3 points per game in the latest season of the sample.
- The pace proxy is a middle-of-the-pack 99.8.
Reading note
The 'top contributor' is the player with the most total minutes for the team across the sample, not necessarily the best or highest-scoring player. PRA-per-36 sums points, rebounds, and assists per 36 minutes and is a raw box rate, not an impact metric. ppg_latest_season is a single-season team average while the rest of the sample spans three seasons; pace_proxy is a proxy, not official possession-based pace. The manifest is descriptive_only with no schedule or opponent adjustment.

Schedule Fatigue Tax (latest season)
-0.2958 pts/100 ORtg (2025-26)
b2b_freq=0.171, b2b_games=14, descriptive composite/36=-0.0539
per-36 deltas are raw pooled means, NOT roster/opponent/minutes/home-away adjusted.; the three density classes (b2b, 3in4, 4in6) OVERLAP and are NON-additive; this formula deliberately uses b2b alone -- summing b2b+3in4+4in6 would double-count congestion.; the -1.73 pts/100 anchor is a single-corpus CONFIRMED_LOCAL effect: a DESCRIPTIVE tax, not a forecast, and not re-tested here.; b2b_ortg_effect sign is normalized to a fatigue penalty (negative), matching the negative composite_per36 delta and the mechanism framing; the receipt labels its magnitude 'rested minus b2b'.
Load-Bearing Index (most-indispensable player)
Elo on/off: Dorian Finney-Smith (delta_winprob +0.4656); raw with/without: Rui Hachimura (delta_win_rate +0.2626); agreement=False
on/off net rating delta +14.944; n_active=68, n_missed=14
both estimators carry the ROSTER CONFOUND both source files label explicitly: why a player missed is entangled with injury clustering, rest, blowout pulls, and replacement lineup -- none controlled. NOT a causal player-impact estimate.; the feeds cover DIFFERENT seasons (Elo on/off = 2024-25; raw with/without = 2025-26), so agreement is DIRECTIONAL corroboration, not a paired estimate.; estimator (a) is win prob vs a league-average opponent on a neutral floor; estimator (b) is raw team win-rate active-vs-missed. The two axes are related but not the same scale.; Per team, the win-prob dependence on its single most-indispensable player, under two independent estimators, with a cross-method agreement flag.
Highest/lowest scoring pairing (pooled 2023-24..2025-26)
highest: vs CHI mean_total 253.5 (n=6); lowest: vs MIN mean_total 219.09 (n=11)
NOT a prediction of any future matchup (describes games already played); NOT a home/away split (per-player table carries no venue flag); NOT opponent-adjusted / strength-of-schedule (raw pooled means only); pairing reported only where n_meetings >= 2
