Through the first five games, the Mavericks have already seen some clear trends in their rotation. Max Christie has emerged as a major bright spot, shooting over 55% from the field and providing two-way energy that’s earning him more trust from Jason Kidd. P.J. Washington continues to be steady, but the team struggles with injuries. 

On the flip side, injuries to Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, and Daniel Gafford have forced the team into smaller looks — and some players have struggled to find rhythm or consistent minutes in those lineups.

With the season still young, the rotation picture remains fluid.

Which Mavericks deserve more minutes right now — and who should see less?
