• Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Serviceable two-way effort

  17H ago • By RotoWire

  Marshall closed with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 126-116 loss to San Antonio. Marshall continues to play a sizeable role for the Mavericks, scoring double-digit points for the sixth straight game. Dallas is very shorthanded at the moment, meaning Marshall has moved up the ladder when it comes to the offensive pecking order. In his past eight games, Marshall is averaging 18.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Marshall also set a new season high in scoring while tying a season-best assist mark. The double-double was also his fourth of the season, three of which have taken place in the last three contests.

• Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Second straight double-double

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Marshall closed with 29 points (10-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 122-111 loss to Memphis. Marshall was promoted into a starting role two games ago and notched a second consecutive double-double, but he also reached the 18-point mark for the third straight contest. Marshall is expected to remain the starting power forward and should continue to have a steady role in a depleted frontcourt for the Mavs. To note, the Mavs are currently missing P.J. Washington (ankle), Kai Jones (quadriceps), Dereck Lively (ankle), Daniel Gafford (knee), Anthony Davis (thigh) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) due to injuries.

• Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Posts solid line in loss

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Marshall logged 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 122-98 loss to Sacramento. Kyrie Irving left this game early with a sprained knee and was unable to return for Dallas. The Mavericks are already very shorthanded, so if Irving is forced to miss time, Marshall looks poised to step into a larger role. He's had a solid campaign so far, posting averages of 11.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.1 minutes.
