PTS–TO are ETR per-game projections (recovered from ETR's 9-cat z-scores; blank = outside ETR's 9-cat top 300; method on the Inputs page). Team row = Σ(per-game × games)/82. Rating = 50% DARKO DPM + 50% DARKO market rating (DARKO's player rating implied by closing betting spreads, per 100 poss); DPM alone where DARKO has no market rating. Team row under DPM / Mkt = Σ contrib on that rating alone. O/D ctb split DARKO's DPM (the market rating has no O/D split), so they add up to the DPM side, not the blended contrib. Fill of 0 minutes at replacement DPM (-2.2) contributes -0.00. GP / MPG / Min are expected over the remaining games: each game's 240 minutes go to whoever is available (see Injuries & availability), so a player's rating only counts in the games he is projected to play. League-relative centering shifts every team by the same constant.
Injuries & availability Monster return dates · games played so far · chance to play each game = half Monster, half ETR preseason · role MPG = ETR + Monster

Before his est. return a player gets none of this team's games (Q: half), so his rating comes out of exactly those games and his minutes go to whoever is available (bench first, starters stretch up to +20%). Once healthy he plays Avail % of games: half Monster's rest-of-season rate, half ETR's preseason games (less the games he has already played, which are settled; for a player coming back from an injury, ETR's per-game rate). Monster ROS dump 2026-10-27 11:46 ET (1.2 days old), 522 rostered, 58 with an est. return.
ETR notes Gallagher Top 150 + ETR depth chart
| Devin Booker | Gallagher #29 | Ott didn't want to boost his minutes and assist ceiling wasn't there, but still a safe option |
| Miles Bridges | Gallagher #93 | Ishbia may force Ott to play MSU product more (kidding); no Mark Williams making Oso a straight C helps Miles |
| Jalen Green | Gallagher #119 | Had played 186 games straight before hamstring kept him to 32 games; did get up to 30 MPG in March |
| Collin Gillespie | Gallagher #141 | He's been ultra efficient and would get huge boost with injuries to Book and/or Green |
| Oso Ighodaro | Gallagher #136 | Oso is the dog to start and isn't great per minute, but what if ManMan isn't ready? |
| Khaman Maluach | Gallagher #106 | Just started playing basketball in 2019 and it might be starting to come together; expecting him to start |
| Mark Williams | Depth chart | Labrum surgery likely gets him back between All-Star break or he's out for the year |

ETR preseason breakdown usage · minutes · who plays together · player by player · pace & shots, from Gallagher's game-by-game change log (Sept 28 – Oct 16)
Bottom line: Ott's center battle swung back and forth (Oso Ighodaro vs. rookie Khaman Maluach). Bridges is the only real four, the bench is guard-heavy, and the offense spreads the handling instead of featuring Jalen Green.
Usage & ball-handling
- Devin Booker: 7 FGA and 4 FTA in 16 minutes. ETR expects his usage to tick up.
- Jalen Green: healthy, with some highlight plays, but didn't dominate the ball. The Suns spread handling (15 first-half assists in one game).
- Miles Bridges: impact in transition (four assists) on a team that lacks fours. Minor ankle tweak.
Minutes & rotation
- Starters: Green, Booker, Dillon Brooks, Bridges, plus a center. Ighodaro started Oct 5 and 7, and Maluach started Oct 10, 14 and 16.
- Maluach out-minuted Ighodaro even when Ighodaro started (12.5 to 11.5 in a first half). He had 10/15/3 against Wemby, but rebounding is a concern (9 boards in 42 minutes over two games) and ETR moved him down late.
- Ott wants "48 minutes of great center play."
- Bench: Collin Gillespie (kept in the second unit), Jordan Goodwin, Luke Kennard (minor knee soreness), Ryan Dunn (earned a rotation spot, with first-half minutes every game). Rasheer Fleming picked up PF minutes when Bridges was hurt.
- ETR moves: Maluach's projection cut, Dunn bumped.
Who plays together
- The second unit is very guard-heavy: Gillespie, Goodwin, Kennard, Dunn.
- With Booker and Bridges out, Kennard and Dunn moved into the first unit.
Pace & shot selection
- The ball moves and handling is shared. The Suns picked up full court (they hounded Giddey).

Summarized from ETR's 2026-27 Change Log and Preseason News (pulled Oct 18). Preseason minutes are mostly first-half numbers since starters rarely play second halves. Model GP/MPG/min are the ETR season projections this model uses, so the read shows where preseason usage agrees or disagrees with the minutes driving the win total. Projection moves ETR made during the preseason are noted under Minutes.
