• Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Offers spark off bench in loss

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Marshall posted 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers. It was Marshall's highest scoring output since a Dec. 10 loss to the Thunder. Over his last 12 games (six starts), the 27-year-old has remained a fixture in the Dallas rotation with averages of 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 threes in 26.7 minutes. Marshall could have a more difficult time earning playing time from the Mavericks' second unit once Anthony Davis (abdomen) and P.J. Washington (personal) are available, but the former should be able to maintain minutes in the mid-20s until the frontcourt gets healthier.

  Marshall (illness) racked up five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two assists over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 win over the Pelicans. Marshall was cleared play Wednesday after missing the Mavericks' previous four games with an illness, but head coach Jason Kidd said leading up to the contest that the veteran wing would be operating under a 15-minute restriction, per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com. While Marshall's production was limited, his playing time should ramp up a bit moving forward. Marshall has the ability to chip in across the board, albeit on low volume.
