Luke Doncic kicks off the Mavericks starting lineup and is one of the most important players in the league for a single team. Doncic averaged 28 points per game this season and he works well with Jalen Brunson and Reggie Bullock, who stepped up this season. Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell may not be notable names but they are key to the Mavericks' success. Dallas traded for Spencer Dinwiddie at the deadline, he comes off the bench most nights but will draw spot starts based on injury.

A lot of the Mavericks offense is going to go through Luka Doncic. They play at a slower pace and despite being listed as a forward or whatever you want to call him, he is the point guard of this offense. Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie allow him to play off the ball at times, but it is generally Doncic and Brunson commanding the backcourt.
The job Dorian Finney-Smith has done this season will go overlooked but he as a solid perimeter defender, rebounded well, and shot 39% from three. This is all you could ask for on a team where perimeter defense and shooting is needed around Doncic. Trading Kristaps Porzingis in the middle of the year opened up space to go a bit smaller and also rely on Dwight Powell down low
