Parsons had a season-high 82 touches in Wednesday’s win over the Pelicans, the most he’s had in a game all season, per SportVU. Dallas is 6-1 when Parsons has at least 50 touches in a game and 11-4 when he gets at least 40. When he either doesn’t play or doesn’t reach the 40-touch plateau, the Mavericks are 10-11.
Of course the team’s success doesn’t solely boil down to whether or not Parsons touches the ball. There are 14 other players on the team whose own level of performance can potentially dictate the outcome of the game. But there’s no other Maverick on the roster with such severe splits in his numbers as Parsons.
