Starting or not, Curry produces, which gives Carlisle lineup options

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.
