Just looking at some box scores last night:
Hawks: Okongwu 34 minutes, Bey 34, Johnson 38, young 40, bogdonovic 34
76ers: Harris 39 minutes, Reed, 32, Payne 36, Heild 40, Oubre 40 (both teams entire starting lineups played over 30 minutes. 3 Guys hit 40 minutes!)
Wizards: Kuzma 37 minutes, avdija 42, Jones 37, poole 37, Bilal 33.
Celtics: Tatum 38 minutes, porzingas 33, Holiday 34, white 33, brown 35. (both teams entire starting lineups played over 30 minutes. The wizards are a pretty bad team so its weird that they have so many good two way players without flaws if that is the reason for the jazz strange minute distribution)
Raptors: Barnes 35 minutes, Poetl 37, Trent jr 34, barret 36, Quickley 38.
Rockets: Smith jr 33 minutes, Thompson 32, Brooks 30, Holiday 31. (Raptors entire starting lineup over 30 minutes despite a guy just coming back from injury and two brand new players on the team. Seems like you would work those guys into the rotation more slowly)
Lakers: Hachimura 37 minutes, James 38, Russell 40, Reaves 31.
Pelicans: Williamson 32 minutes, Ingram 35, Mccollum 30.
Those were the non blowout games from last night. The more I look at this the more interesting and odd it becomes.

I would almost guarantee somewhere out there is a study that indicates a certain number of minutes are optimal for an NBA athlete. It obviously wouldn't be exactly the same for every player but an average over a large sample size. I'm guessing its around 33 minutes.
