Who are the NBA’s top performing players in the 4th quarter? To answer this question we have developed 4th quarter Adjusted +/- ratings. These ratings look at how a player helped his team in the 4th quarter, after adjusting for who he played with and against. For example, after adjusting for who Frye played with and against we find he has made the Suns 35 points better (per 48 minutes) than an average NBA player. Note the Pistons are amazing in the 4th quarter. They have 4 of the league’s best 4th quarter players.

Can you adjust these to factor out blowouts and just account for close games?

We do this with impact for whole game but not just q4.

Small sample, but any early Star 4th quarter duds?
Where are Roy, Duncan, T Parker, KG, Bosh and
B Gordon?

Not to be a spelling stickler in a site about numbers, but it’s “Villanueva” not “Villenueva” and “Jerebko” not “Jeretko”
