What this answer does not do
  • ·It does not estimate what a lineup that never played would have done.
  • ·A gap between two lineups is not the cause of that gap.
  • ·With few possessions it claims no performance: it shows the sample.

Who gives up (or gets) those minutes? Optional: if you do not say, the team's unallocated pool absorbs the difference.

The engine allocates between 4 and 40 minutes per game; 0–48 is the physical limit. Outside that the scenario is not executed, and says so.
