Dallas Mavericks: 5 players on the edge of the playoff rotation

Dallas Mavericks on edge of playoff rotation: Boban Marjanovic

Boban Marjanovic is coming off arguably the best game of his career, but e is unlikely to play a major role in the playoffs. It is mostly due to his size and speed. Marjanovic is a force in the paint but struggles on the perimeter.

He will be a matchups play. Opponents like the Jazz and Thunder present opportunities for Boban to be effective and change the game inside.

His play would be minimalized if Dallas were to matchup against Houston. They use a small ball rotations with 6’5 forward P.J. Tucker starting at the five.

Dallas Mavericks on edge of playoff rotation: Delon Wright

The Mavericks have utilized a guard-heavy rotation to create the best shooting and playmaking lineups. Delon Wright may be the outlier there. He is known for his perimeter defense.

Wright’s offense is the question mark. He averages just 7.3 points and 3.4 assists in 21.7 minutes per game this season.

The Mavericks may use him against the Rockets. Wright would be asked to guard James Harden or Russell Westbrook.

Against a team like the Clippers, Dallas will need consistent 3-point shooting. Wright needs to improve there forcing him to the fringes of the rotation.

While we await the continuation of the NBA season, the Dallas Mavericks fans should be excited. They have a chance to make a playoff run and win a championship in 2020. Stay tuned to see how it all shakes out later this summer.
