Playoff Rotation

[fifteenth]

Nuggets 2023 Champions:

Joker - 40 mpg
Murray - 40 mpg
Gordon - 36 mpg
KCP - 34 mpg
MPJ - 33 mpg
Brown - 27 mpg
Uncle Jeff - 17 mpg
Braun - 13 mpg

Warriors 2022 Champions:

Klay - 36 mpg
Wiggins - 35 mpg
Steph - 35 mpg
Draymond - 32 mpg
Poole - 28 mpg
Looney - 20 mpg
Porter - 20 mpg
GPII - 17 mpg

Bucks 2021 Champions:

Middleton - 40 mpg
Jrue - 40 mpg
Giannis - 38 mpg
Tucker - 30 mpg
Lopez -29 mpg
Connaughton - 24 mpg
DiVincenzo - 23 mpg
Portis - 18 mpg
Forbes - 14 mpg

Minutes Average (My guess at Mavs player):

1 - 39 mpg (Luka)
2 - 38 mpg (Kyrie)
3 - 36 mpg (PJ)
4 - 32 mpg (Exum/Gafford)
5 - 30 mpg (Exum/Gafford)
6 - 24 mpg (Kleber/DJJ)
7 - 20 mpg (Kleber/DJJ)
8 - 16 mpg (Lively, if healthy)

Those 8 man averages leave 5 minutes unaccounted for.

Lively's health (physical and mental with what he's been through) is obviously a huge X Factor.  The Warriors went deeper into their rotation than the other two with spot minutes for a number of guys.  The Nuggets held very tight to that 8 man group, and also compare most favorably with what the Mavs 8 man group would be.

I think THJ and Green are two guys you go to for some hope of instant shooting (THJ) or a needed burst of energy/hustle (Green).

My guess is that this is pretty accurate. The top 8, plus some minutes from THJ and Green.
