If there's one thing we know about a Tom Thibodeau-coached team it's that he's going to play his starters a ton of minutes. He's been known to run with short rotations, relying heavily upon his starters to the point where there tends to be criticism about overworking his stars.

That hasn't changed during the 2024-25 season. The current NBA leaders in minutes per game are Knicks guard Josh Hart and forward Mikal Bridges, both of whom average 37.8 minutes per game. OG Anunoby ranks sixth in the league at 36.6 minutes per contest.
