Who is going to start? How will a shortened playoff rotation look like?
As far as I know Powell, Lee, Brunson and Cauley-Stein won´t be available. Trey Burke joins the team for the rest of the season.
Leaving the Mavs with...
Guards: Doncic, THJ, Wright, Curry, JJB, Cleveland, Reaves, Burke
Wings: DFS, Jackson, MKG
Bigs: KP, Kleber, Marjanovic
Based on the regular season the starting five will most likely include...
Doncic/THJ/DFS/Porzingis
Big question is the one remaining spot. Depending on the matchup Curry or Kleber are the best options.
Bench is an even bigger question. The Mavs don´t have the depth that helped them in the regular season. Normally RC prefers at least a 9-10 man rotation but I am not sure if that´s an option if they want to compete with the best teams in the west. Although we have to consider that the Mavs aren´t the only team with missing players.
Will veterans like JJB and Boban get bigger roles? Will we see a younger player like Jackson or even Reaves/Cleveland break through?
Overall my best guess is something like...
Doncic 36 / JJB 12
THJ 20 / Curry 28
DFS 16/ Wright 20 / THJ 12
Kleber 28 / DFS 20
KP 34 / Boban 14
