Seth Curry was in the starting lineup in the last scrimmage Tuesday before the Mavericks get down to serious business with the regular-season restart on Friday.
We know that doesn’t always mean a whole lot. But coach Rick Carlisle sounded like he’s comfortable with a smallish lineup to start games as the Mavericks wrapped up their scrimmage schedule with a 118-115 overtime win against Philadelphia.
Curry’s presence in the lineup might be especially important Friday against a team like Houston that doesn’t start anybody taller than 6-8.
The Mavericks’ lineup has four certainties: Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, Dorian Finney-Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr.
