Well, those are the lineups for the top teams. If you're wondering where is Yao Ming (Houston Rockets) and also Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards) or other top players, there's only one answer. They are injured/not in the main starting lineup. Thus, the chances of winning is less.

Till then, tata.
