Changes the Dallas Mavericks should make in Game 6: 5. Get Curry going

Curry was averaging 16.5 points in 30.2 minutes per over the first four games of this series. He was shooting lights out on his ten field goal attempts each night. Curry got just six shots in game five and finished with four points.

The 30-year-old is coming off the bench against the Clippers. He entered the game for the first time with 7:03 remaining in the opening quarter. He did not take his first shot until 10:24 left in the second. Curry only played 23 minutes in game five, but the team needs him to be more aggressive.

The Mavericks must have scoring and floor spacing from Seth Curry if they are going to pull the upset in game six. He has done a tremendous job getting into the lane and hitting his floater in this series. Here is an example from game five.

The Mavs need him to attack and score, especially when Luka Doncic is resting on the bench. They should try to get him going early with a set play that turns into an easy look. Dallas must have 15-plus points from Seth Curry if they are going to top the Clippers on Sunday. The 30-year-old sharpshooter is more than capable of producing it too.
