When you have 5 two way players, and still ability to score, this is very hard to break down. This team is:
Luka
Richardson
DFS
KP
Maxi
That looks good as a closing lineup: last 4 - 8 minutes in a close game. There is no reason you can't have that lineup closing, and a completely different lineup starting.
For example, Kleber has shown historically that he does not perform well with large minutes in several consecutive games. He has to be held to 28 minutes or less to get consistent production on offense. If you are going to limit him to 28 minutes, and potentially play him the last 8 minutes of the game, he only has 20 minutes available to play in the first 40 minutes of the game. That is a good reason for him not to start.
Perhaps the Mavs should start another shooter instead. How about THJ?
