OP,

While it does look like the PVG flight usually use TBIT, if there's a delay with previous aircraft it can goto T2 (where majority of DL international flights arrive).

If TBIT there's a bag recheck belt just before the exit. Can drop bags here and make way to T3. (Note while LAS flights are normally T3, they can end up out of T2) Quickest way to T3 is to walk there. If you clear security at TBIT, you'll need to catch a shuttle to T3.
