Dishes out six dimes Wednesday Marshall notched 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Marshall wasn't very productive from three-point range but turned in a solid performance from inside the arc. He finished as the Mavericks' third-leading scorer while pacing the club in assists. After starting 47 of his 74 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, Marshall figures to operate as one of Dallas' first men off the bench this season.

Headed to bench Marshall will come off the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Hawks.

Impact Marshall started in Wednesday's exhibition loss to the Pelicans with Kyrie Irving (rest) unavailable, but Irving is back from his maintenance day. Marshall will be operating in a reserve role for the Mavs this season, so it'll be tough for him to find enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy leagues.

Starting versus Pelicans Marshall will start in Wednesday's preseason game against New Orleans, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Marshall will start for the second time this preseason. The 28-year-old started in 47 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals over 31.6 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Could work more as facilitator Marshall tallied 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason loss to Houston.

Impact Marshall got to start for a short-handed Mavericks team in their preseason opener, but that's expected to change once the regular season begins. Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com believes Marshall's playmaking and finishing prowess could allow him to operate more as a point guard off the bench this year, so the forward should still handle a significant role as a member of the second unit.

Shooting a top priority Marshall said during Media Day that improving his three-point shooting was a major focus during the offseason, Austin Veazey of SI.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old expressed confidence that the work will translate this season, saying that becoming a more consistent perimeter threat would make him "unstoppable." Marshall averaged a career-high 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 74 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 despite shooting just 29.1 percent from three.
