Player impact + chemistry
See who actually drives wins, and which players work together.
NBA player impact, pair chemistry, and lineup context — measured from every possession of the last three seasons.
Impact

What we do not do
Alleygorithm is not a prediction tool. We do not project tonight's game or player props. We measure what already happened so you can study impact and chemistry with context.
