Central Division TS% Leaders in the Clutch

Milwaukee is winning the division, but Indiana and Chicago will compete for the play-in. How do they fare in Clutch TS%?

Listed below are charts displaying 30 players: the top six performers for each Central team according to TS% in Clutch Time, which is defined as the combination of FG%, 3P%, and FT% in the last five minutes of a game in which teams are within five points of each other.

Chicago

Patrick Williams is the least appreciated rookie among the short list of standouts. He's shooting over 70% TS in the clutch and also has the highest offensive rating during this time at 113.5. LaVine is the focal point of their offense alongside Nikola Vucević, and the former Magic center's efficiency in the Clutch will be essential to the Bulls' playoff hopes.

Indiana

Seeing brothers in the top six is really cool, and Aaron Holiday is leading the team statistically in offensive Clutch ability. If the Pacers are to win in the play-in tournament, they'll need more from Brogdon and LeVert.

Milwaukee

The Bucks see their starting lineup all reside on this graph, along with key swingman Pat Connaughton. Milwaukee needs to keep this up to compete with Brooklyn and Philly in a seven game series. Did I mention Giannis is practically unguardable in the post?

Cleveland

Cleveland's best players are listed above, but it hasn't translated to the success, or pseudo-success that was present at the beginning of the year. Despite their record, the Cavs should be excited about the individual talent on the roster as they continue to rebuild.

Detroit

Everyone knew the Pistons would be near the bottom of the East this year, and Clutch time isn't necessarily important to them if they're trying to tank. On the bright side, their two rookies lead the team in Clutch TS%, and Jerami Grant looks like a star.
