A set of variables such as inputs and outcome variables are taken into account to optimize the results. Additionally, a technical efficiency analysis was performed on the performance of the lineups selected by the optimization model to validate the results. The results show that the lineups selected through the optimization model were those with greater technical efficiency for the equipment. The application of optimization methods and technical efficiency can be a robust tool for decision making in the sports field. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.enLinear optimizationSports analyticsSports operation researchStochastic frontiersTechnical efficiencyBasketballDecision makingHybrid modelOptimization methodOptimization modelingResource Types::text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
