Questions
Are these the confirmed NBA starting lineups?
No: they are projections. Each five is the team's ESPN depth chart, with anyone listed Out replaced by the next player at that spot. Teams confirm their starters about 30 minutes before tip, and the game page shows the real starters once the game is on.
How do injuries change the lineups?
A starter listed Out drops to the next name on the depth chart at his position, and the page names who he replaces. A day-to-day or questionable starter stays in, marked, because he often plays.
When are NBA starting lineups announced?
Teams submit starters before tip-off; most are known 30 minutes to an hour ahead, after shootaround and warmups settle any game-time decisions.
