Initially, I though Green could be a factor in this series, mostly to spell Reggie and Dorian, but it's clear that the Mavs are going to use a 7-man rotation. Luka only played 36 MPG against Utah, due to the calf. I expect him to be closer to what he was at last year against the Clippers (40.2 MPG). I don't see the Mavs playing RB or DFS less, against the better wings of PHX. Green/Bertans will strictly be foul trouble or spot minute players.
My X-factor this series is Spencer Dinwiddie. I don't think he'll shoot 29% from three like he did against Utah, and Ayton isn't Gobert. Game 6 gave him the boost he needed (19 points, 57% 3PT +12). We need his bench points and length!
Luka 40 / JB 8

DFS 38 / RB 10
DP 20 / MK 24 / DFS 4
Luka 40
Brunson 38
Bullock 42
DFS 42
Dinwiddie 34
Kleber 24
Powell 20
