2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

But that is not how it works. No team in the league is running all starters vs all bench lineups. Bench also doesn´t exclusively play vs bench. The Mavs only have to players averaging 30+ (starter minutes), 3 if you include DFS (29min). They have 5 more players averaging 20+ minutes.
If you think that lineups without KP and Doncic are getting blown out I would advise you take a look at lineup data. Overall the team is outscoring opponents without both on the floor and there are multiple lineups without them that have great  +/- numbers.

Again, PPG does not mean much. What means is how many games you win. If you rack up one game ton of points, and several games without, it means nothing. You will outscore your opponents, have good PPG and same with +/-. But you still dont contribute to winning many games. Look up how many leads they blew. If we both cant find the stats, then we dont have it. This is why "outscoring opponents" and PPG and +/- is unreliable.

Bench has blown away so many leads consistently over a very long period and that was easy to see. They are not horrible, I will agree on that. But certainly not great as well. Lots of room for improvement that needs to happen.
