The 1986–87 Dallas Mavericks were led offensively by Mark Aguirre, with Rolando Blackman providing consistent secondary scoring and Derek Harper orchestrating the offense as the primary playmaker. Sam Perkins and James Donaldson gave the team a productive frontcourt through rebounding and interior defense, while multiple rotation players supplied complementary scoring. The statistics reflect a balanced team built on scoring depth, steady ball movement, and a strong inside presence at both ends of the floor.
