Dallas Mavericks
5 roto titles · 46 seasons (1980-81–2025-26)
The Dallas Mavericks have topped the standings five times in 46 seasons, most recently in 2009-10. All of them landed inside a 10-season window between 2000-01 and 2009-10, which makes this a single concentrated peak rather than a steady contender. Their average finish is 13.0 all time, against 18.5 over the last ten seasons, a steep fall from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Dirk Nowitzki in 2002-03, worth a 16.9 z-score. He owns 16 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Worth knowing before you read the All-Franchise Team below: Brad Davis and Kyrie Irving both rate above a player who made it, and missed only because the guard slots were full.
