As best as I can tell the only reason Maxi doesn't start is that the Mavs need/want him to spell KP. He is really the only guy who can do that. They do play some together but if Maxi started then you wouldn't have a backup off the bench that Rick likes. I am fairly confident this is why he isn't starting. If Mavs get another big like Favors then it could bump Powell back to the bench where he and Maxi can dominate the other teams bench.
