NBA Bench Ratings: Who has the best bench in the association?

10. New York Knicks

The New York Knicks bench unit of Immanuel Quickley, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Isaiah Hartenstein has been great offensively, but they struggle defensively, especially guarding the perimeter.

9. Boston Celtics

Sam Hauser has been a pleasant surprise for the Boston Celtics. Also, Al Horford can still contribute offensively.

8. Indiana Pacers

Buddy Hield is one of the best bench players in the NBA and will be a hot commodity for the Indiana Pacers as the trade deadline approaches. Alongside him, Jalen Smith and Aaron Nesmith have been great this season. Indiana’s bench has scored 513 points, they most in the association.

7. Milwaukee Bucks

Even after trading for Damian Lillard, the Milwaukee Bucks still have great depth. In addition to Quickley, Bobby Portis, averaging 12.4 points a game, is another Sixth Man of the Year candidate. The Bucks bench is filled with veterans like Portis, Jae Crowder, and Cameron Payne.

6. Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic have a solid young core that they continue to build year in and year out. Cole Anthony and Moritz Wagner run this unit, but they have other trustworthy guys in rookies Jett Howard and Anthony Black, as well as veteran Jonathan Isaac.
