On NBC, Peacock. An early look, from the NBA’s rosters as of Oct. 7, 2026. The lineups and inactive players come on game day.
From the NBA’s player tracking over the previous two regular seasons: each leading scorer against the player on the other side who guarded him most, whatever teams they were on, compared with how he scored against everyone else. Most scorers score less against whoever guards them most, about three quarters of their rate against everyone else, so a gap like that is the usual one.
