Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Ready to return Thursday
Naji Marshall (illness) is ready to return and will be available for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. "Pretty good. It's been eight days, so I feel good. I've got my legs back under me. It was just a little bit of time off, but I'm good now. I'm back and feeling better," he said.Marshall has missed five of the Dallas Mavericks' first six games in December due to an illness, but it seems the time off benefited him to make a full recovery. He was on a sizzling stretch when suffering the injury, as the former Xavier standout averaged 14.3 points per game in November, scoring at least 20 points in five games.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said that Naji Marshall (illness) practiced Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.Marshall has missed five of the Mavericks' first six games in December due to an illness, but his presence on the court Tuesday seemingly has him trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Clippers. The 26-year-old has played at least 26 minutes in five of his last six appearances and has averaged 19.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.2 assists, but Dallas was without one or both of Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson or P.J. Washington for each of those contests.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Ties team scoring lead in return
Naji Marshall (illness) tallied 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.Despite the Dallas Mavericks having both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving available for the NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup, Marshall -- who had missed the team's previous four contests -- finished as the surprise co-leader in scoring for Dallas along with Klay Thompson. Though he hadn't displayed much offensive game during the first four seasons of his career in New Orleans, Marshall has shown growth so far during his time in Dallas, as he's averaging a career-high 11.9 points per contest. He's been especially hot over his last eight appearances, posting 17.8 points per contest on 61.1 percent shooting from the field and 46.4 percent from three-point range. Both marks are well above his career-long rates of 44.3 and 31.3 percent, respectively, so fantasy managers who have been riding the wave of Marshall's recent production should anticipate some regression eventually heading his way.
