5 Best three-man lineups in the NBA this season

#2 Patrick Beverley, Kawhi Leonard, Montrezl Harrell (LA Clippers)

Kawhi Leonard unsurprisingly features in LA's best lineup

The LA Clippers' season has yet to live up to the high expectations set last summer - although Doc Rivers will be pleased to know that he possesses one of the NBA's best 3-man lineups. However, Paul George does not feature, as Patrick Beverley, Kawhi Leonard, Montrezl Harrell combine for a 67.8 player impact estimation score.

Beverley, Leonard, and Harrell combine for the best net rating in the NBA (31.2) and a 122.4 offensive rating also puts them among the elite offensive options. While Harrell's defense has been called into question, the trio combine for an impressive (91.1) defensive rating, and all three men will be critical to LA's chances in the postseason.

#1 Chris Paul, Dennis Schroder, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder)

Chris Paul has excelled alongside his fellow point guards

Heading into the season, Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Billy Donovan raised eyebrows by stating his intent to build around his point guard trio of Chris Paul, Dennis Schroder, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Nevertheless, Donovan's experiment has yielded an unlikely 36-22 record, and Paul, Schroder, and Gilgeous-Alexander currently possess the best player impact estimation in the NBA (67.8).

Offensively, the trio combines for the second-best offensive rating in the NBA (128.2) and their true shooting percentage of 67.7 percent is the best among three-man lineups in the league. A defensive rating of (98.5) is also excellent considering the size of the three guards - and this unique lineup will be intriguing to watch in the playoffs.
