Seen this interesting write up on which seems to explain Dallas Mavs issues. I mean come on , this aint rocket science here!

In 20 games together, the Dennis-Wes-Luka-Harrison-DeAndre combination is 8-12 as a starting group. Coming into the game, there was only one lineup (Clippers) that held a worse net rating than the minus-7.8 for the Mavs' starting five in 300 minutes together on the floor. Add that to the overwhelming data of the Mavericks being significantly more efficient and successful with https://247sports.com/Player/Maxi-Kleber-46059332Maxi Kleber and https://247sports.com/Player/Dorian-Finney-Smith-656Dorian Finney-Smith on the floor, and you begin to see just a glimpse of the analytics in favor shaking things up"
"Maxi Kleber and Dorian Finney-Smith have played 395 minutes together this year. opponents only score 96.2 points per 100 possessions when they're on the court.
the league's best defense (milwaukee) is giving up 103.6 this season"
