Overall, Maokai sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Malphite. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Malphite helps Maokai perform poorer in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Maokai is paired with Malphite, he gets a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This could indicate that Malphite does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Maokai is played alongside Malphite on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Malphite. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Malphite.
Moreover, when Maokai plays with Malphite on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Malphite does a decent job of protecting Maokai during teamfights.
There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Maokai that will no matter what be his best teammate. However, Malphite is a very typical teammate for Maokai. By being on the same team as Maokai, he improves their win rate by 0.2% to 52.8%.

Regardless of the skill of your Malphite ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
