Possessions, and parts of possessions when defenders switched, from the NBA’s matchup tracking. The line under a defender’s name: his share of the scorer’s possessions. Usual: what the scorer averaged a possession against every defender in the regular season, eased toward the league’s rate when he has few possessions.
