| Dirk Nowitzki | Starter/Star | 35.8 | High | 17.5 | 6.5 | 2.5 | 1.6 | 73.39 | Still early in his rise, Nowitzki stretched defenses with elite shooting for a power forward while adding more scoring responsibility. His ability to pull big men away from the paint was becoming a major weapon. | — |

| Shawn Bradley | Key Contributor | 24.7 | Low | 8.4 | 6.5 | 0.8 | 3.4 | 40.11 | Bradley anchored the interior defense with elite shot-blocking. His presence around the rim allowed Dallas to play more aggressively on the perimeter knowing help defense was waiting behind them. | — |
| Robert Pack | Key Contributor | 22.9 | Low | 8.9 | 1.4 | 5.8 | 1.2 | 36.33 | Pack gave the Mavericks another creator off the dribble and helped stabilize the offense when Nash rested. His speed remained a useful asset in transition. | — |
| Hubert Davis | Bench | 23.0 | Low | 7.4 | 1.7 | 1.8 | 0.3 | 22.40 | One of the league’s most accurate shooters, Davis thrived as a floor spacer. Defenses had to respect his jumper, which opened driving lanes for Dallas’ primary scorers. | — |
| Greg Buckner | Bench | 19.2 | Low | 5.7 | 3.6 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 23.20 | Buckner carved out minutes through defense and effort plays. His ability to guard multiple backcourt spots made him a useful rotational piece. | — |

| Damon Jones | Bench | 9.9 | Low | 3.9 | 0.9 | 1.4 | 0.3 | 13.00 | Jones functioned as a reserve scoring guard, looking primarily to create offense and knock down perimeter shots in short bursts. | — |
| Rick Hughes | Bench | 10.7 | Low | 3.9 | 2.3 | 0.4 | 0.1 | 13.40 | Hughes supplied energy minutes in the paint, contributing with rebounding and interior activity rather than featured scoring. | — |
| Dave Jamerson | Bench | 5.5 | Low | 3.1 | 0.8 | 0.7 | 0.2 | 9.60 | Jamerson’s appearances were limited, but he filled a specialist role as a perimeter shooting option off the bench. | — |
| Bruno Šundov | Bench | 4.4 | Low | 1.9 | 0.9 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 6.20 | The teenage center was still developing physically and saw only brief opportunities, mostly serving as a long-term project within the roster. | — |
| Rodrick Rhodes | Bench | 8.0 | Low | 0.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 2.0 | 6.00 | Rhodes appeared only briefly but made his presence felt defensively, generating steals and disruptive activity in a very small sample. | — |
