Dallas Mavericks: Should Willie Cauley Stein continue to start?

The Dallas Mavericks had a rollercoaster of a start to the 2020-2021 season. They won two of their first six games, but both victories were against conference semifinalists from a season ago. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle inserted Willie Cauley-Stein into the starting five after that rough stretch, and it sparked a four-game winning streak.

All-Star Kristaps Porzingis returned on Jan. 13 but continues to play his way back into shape.
