One NBA-ref-conspiracy theorist’s view of why McGee and Dinwiddie should start which, it appears, they will do:

McGee is near or at the league lead in fouls per minute. He also plays a style that requires a lot of energy out of what are getting to be old legs. This counsels in favor of 4 short stints at the beginning of quarters—before the opposition is in the bonus—rather than lengthier runs when his fouls are more likely to result in free throws.

Dinwiddie is among the league’s best at drawing fouls, providing the refs are willing to blow the whistle. In general, they seem to be more willing to give calls to starters than to members of the bench mob, especially come playoff time. Giving Dinwiddie the street cred that comes with starting may beget extra FTs when it matters most.
