2. Tim Hardaway Jr., Paul Millsap, Dennis Schroder

14 Games, 125 Minutes (8.9 MPG), 20.5 PPG, 45.9 FG%, 8.4 RPG, 4.2 APG, 1.4 SPG, 1.2 BPG, 111.3 Offensive Rating, 100.0 Defensive Rating, 11.3 Net Rating, 56.1 True Shooting%

Even in limited minutes, this may be the most electrifying trios in the entire league. In less than nine minutes per game, they combine to put up just over 20 points a game. Their 12% turnover percentage is second-lowest of any group that played at least 100 minutes through January. Their effectiveness is not restricted to just the offensive end, though. The 100 Defensive Rating is second for groupings with 100+ minutes played, oddly behind Malcolm Delaney, Kris Humphries, and Hardaway Jr., none of which are known for their defensive play. Millsap and Schroder are renowned for their impressive play on defense, and Hardaway Jr clearly steps his game up when he plays with them.
