Why?

The 2026-27 NBA season tipped off on 20 October, US time. The schedule has 18 of the 30 teams reaching five games by 28 October and all 30 by 2 November. Five games is when a hot start begins to look like a season. So I took the 2025-26 regular season and set every player's first five games against the rest of it.

A player's first five are set against every game after them. Only the 431 players with 25 or more games count, so every rest-of-season average has at least 20 games behind it. Regular season only.

Most starts held

At the top, five games misled: only 4 of the top 10 after five games were top 10 for the rest of the season. Across all 431 players, the start held up far better. Figure 2 puts each one on a chart, the first five along the bottom and the rest of the season up the side.

184 of the 431 finished within 2 points a game of their first five, and 319 within 4. Only 73 moved by more than 5. The two averages lined up closely: a player who started high mostly stayed high, and one who started low mostly stayed low. More moved up than down, though: 268 scored more after the first five, 163 less.

The hot starts cooled

18 players averaged 25 or more in their first five, 30.3 a game between them. Over the rest of the season the same 18 averaged 25.6, and 16 of the 18 scored less. Only Jaylen Brown and Anthony Edwards scored more.

The biggest drop of all 431 was Austin Reaves's: 34.2 a game in the first five, after. All five came before LeBron James's first game of the season on 18 November, the split the Reaves article counts game by game. Zach LaVine had the next biggest, 29.2 to 17.7, and went from 9th to 61st.

Even a hot start that held came down. Tyrese Maxey was 2nd after five games at 35.2 a game, and still 9th over the rest of the season at :

The minutes moved with the points

When points moved, minutes usually moved with them. Figure 4 sets each player's change in points against the change in minutes a game.

In 340 of the 431, points and minutes went the same way. Of the 73 who moved by more than 5 points a game, 64 also moved by 3 or more minutes in the same direction. Joel Embiid is the biggest rise from a start of 10 or more: 17.8 points to 28.2, with minutes up from 22.8 to .

Not every rise needed minutes. Nikola Jokic's stayed level, 34.8 a game and then 34.9, and the scoring still went from 20.4 to 28.3: 45th after five games, 5th over the rest.

Why the minutes moved, the box score can't say: an injury, a trade, a coach's call and a player's own form all look the same here. It is one season, and when these numbers were read on 26 October 2026 no 2026-27 team had played more than 4 games. I'll run the same count on 2026-27 once every team has played 20.

The working

Definitions, sources and when the numbers were read

Season: The 2025-26 NBA regular season: 1,230 games, 21 October 2025 to 12 April 2026, every club's 82. Punt's database carries no playoff flag for that season, so the regular season is every game to 12 April, less the NBA Cup final (16 December 2025), which does not count in regular-season stats. The play-in and playoffs are left out.
A game: A box-score row with minutes recorded and above zero.
First five and the rest: A player's first five such games in date order, and every such game after them. Only players with 25+ games: 431 of them. A traded player is one player; the team is the club of the last game.
Within 2 points: The rest-of-season average is no more than 2.0 points a game above or below the first-five average. Derived.
More than 5 points: The rest-of-season average is more than 5.0 points a game above or below the first five, on the unrounded averages: 73 players. Cole Anthony and Kon Knueppel show a change of 5.0 after rounding, and count. Derived.
Ranks: Points a game among the same 431 players, in the first five and over the rest. Ties share a rank: after five games, Austin Reaves and Giannis Antetokounmpo were both 4th, and Devin Booker and Zach LaVine were both 9th. Still top 10 over the rest: Luka Doncic, Tyrese Maxey, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Lined up closely: The correlation (Pearson's r) between each player's first-five and rest-of-season averages is 0.875, where 1 is a perfect straight line and 0 no link at all. Between the change in points and the change in minutes, 0.735. Derived.
Minutes moved: The same way: both averages up, or both down (221 up, 119 down). For the 73 big moves, average minutes after the first five differ by 3 or more, in the same direction as the points. The 9 whose minutes did not: Trey Murphy III, Cooper Flagg, Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson, Josh Giddey, Ajay Mitchell, Kon Knueppel.
2026-27: Schedule facts only, from every 2026-27 fixture in Punt's database by its US Eastern date: tip-off 20 October; the first team to a fifth game on 28 October, 18 of 30 by 28 October, all 30 by 2 November. When read, 43 games had been played, to 25 October, and no team had more than 4.

Why?

A player's first five are set against every game after them. Only the 431 players with 25 or more games count, so every rest-of-season average has at least 20 games behind it. Regular season only.
