League Search Page > NBA > Dallas Mavericks > Roster & Statistics
The 1998–99 Dallas Mavericks were led by Michael Finley, who carried the scoring load while also contributing as a playmaker and rebounder. Rookie Dirk Nowitzki began carving out a complementary offensive role, and Steve Nash handled much of the team’s ball distribution from the backcourt. Dallas played at a relatively fast pace and showed balanced offensive contributions, but inconsistent defense and inefficient overall play contributed to another losing season.

1.6 |
82.90 |
Dallas handed Finley franchise-player responsibilities, and he carried them well. He created offense from the wing, played heavy minutes every night, and was often the one player capable of generating a quality shot late in possessions. |

| Gary Trent |
Starter/Star |
30.3 |
High |
16.0 |

70.75 |
Working primarily as an interior scorer, Trent gave the Mavericks a physical presence around the basket. His rebounding and willingness to battle inside balanced a roster that leaned increasingly toward perimeter play. |
— |
| Steve Nash |

Medium |

Still developing into a full-time starter, Nash brought creativity and pace to the offense. The shooting numbers were uneven, but his passing vision already stood out as a foundational piece for Dallas. |

Injuries limited Ceballos, yet he remained one of the roster’s most natural scorers. When available, he attacked the mid-range and painted areas effectively while providing veteran offensive stability. |

Bradley’s offensive role stayed modest, but his rim protection changed games. Opponents frequently altered shots near the basket because of his presence, and his 3.2 blocks per game anchored the defense. |

Few players on the roster spaced the floor better than Davis. His 45.1% accuracy from three-point range made him an important release valve whenever defenses collapsed on Dallas’ primary scorers. |

Pack supplied downhill penetration and playmaking off the bench. His quickness allowed him to pressure defenses in ways the Mavericks’ half-court offense sometimes lacked. |

The raw production was modest, but flashes of Dirk’s unique offensive skill set were already visible. His shooting touch and comfort facing the basket hinted at a much larger future role. |

Strickland earned minutes through defense and versatility. He frequently handled tough perimeter assignments while also contributing complementary scoring when needed. |
