How to read this

The Above and Below lists hold games further from the player's usual than at least 95 in 100 comparable games, so an ordinary night still fills both lists. 165 eligible games on this night, so about 8 would land in each list even on an ordinary night. Fewer minutes than usual shows minutes only, never a score. Each list runs from the largest Game Score change down. "Early season" marks a usual line built from fewer than 20 of the player's games this season. How the score works
