Bulls' Team PPP Seems Off#127

?

When you look at the Bulls’ PPP with both Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic on the court, your site shows 1.438 (the equivalent of a 143.8 offensive rating).

When I compare this to other sites, this seems to be a significant outlier. For instance, stats.nba shows their on-court offensive rating as 102.4 - https://www.nba.com/stats/team/1610612741/lineups-advanced/?Season=2020-21&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&GroupQuantity=2

Furthermore, PBP stats shows their on-court offensive rating as 105.47 - https://www.pbpstats.com/wowy-combos/nba?TeamId=1610612741&Season=2020-21&SeasonType=Regular%2BSeason&PlayerIds=202696,203897&OnlyCommonGames=true

All of these sites show the same amount of minutes played together: 161. I’m not sure what is causing this, but it seems problematically anomalous.

Thanks so much for all you do! I love the site.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and providing some details. I’ll dig into this further tomorrow and try to provide an update as soon as I can.

Just a quick update, I’ve been looking into this and it doesnt appear to be a data issue. It seems to be an issue related to our calculation of team PPP in this instance. I’ll provide another update when we have a better picture of whats happening.
