Heads back to bench Marshall will return to the second unit for Saturday's game in Memphis.

Steps up with several players out Marshall finished with a career-high 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go with six rebounds, four assists and one block across 29 minutes in Monday's 113-93 win over the Pace...

Impact While making his third start in a row, Marshall stepped into a heightened role on offense with the Pelicans down Brandon Ingram (toe), Zion Williamson (rest), Trey Murphy (illness), Herbert Jones (COVID-19 protocols) and Dyson Daniels (illness). He took advantage of the opportunity and now owns respectable averages of 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 26.4 minutes per game over 12 December appearances, but Marshall will likely see his playing time take a hit sooner or later. The Pelicans are expected to get all of Williamson, Murphy and Daniels back in action Wednesday against the Timberwolves. Ingram and Jones could also be cleared before the new year.

Balanced showing in start Marshall chipped in seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 win over the Spurs.

Impact Marshall got the start in place of Zion Williamson (COVID-19 protocols), setting his highest minute total since Dec. 15. Marshall has tallied at least five points and five rebounds in eight games this season.

Starting Thursday Marshall will join the starting five for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Marshall draws the start in place of Zion Williamson (COVID protocols) and will likely see a massive workload considering Brandon Ingram (toe) and Larry Nance (Achilles) will also be sidelined. Marshall has started four games this season and has averaged 15.5 points across 36.5 minutes per game in those contests.

Nabs four steals in loss Marshall finished with 13 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four steals, two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes Thursday in the Pelicans' 132-129 overtime loss to the Jazz.

Impact Marshall will likely lose out on some playing time whenever Brandon Ingram (toe) rejoins the lineup, but the 24-year-old has put himself on the fantasy radar in the short term based on his recent run of production. Over his seven appearances in December, he's averaging 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 28.0 minutes per contest while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor. Though he's not a standout in any one area, Marshall's solid across-the-board production could make him a decent back-end roster option in 14-team leagues or deeper if he continues to get around 25 minutes per game.

Another double-digit showing Marshall notched 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-124 overtime win over the Suns.

Impact Marshall led the Pelicans' bench in scoring and assists, tallying a double-digit scoring total for the third straight game. Marshall has averaged 15.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists over his last three contests, and he'll continue to benefit as long as Brandon Ingram (toe) remains sidelined. The Pels are hoping to have Ingram back at some point in the next week, however.

Delivers strong scoring performance Marshall closed Wednesday's 104-98 victory over the Pistons with 17 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes.

Impact Marshall looked sharp following a tough showing Sunday against the Nuggets, finishing with three points and three boards in 24 minutes of action. The Xavier product missed only one attempt from the field during Wednesday's clash and also made his presence known on the defensive end by collecting a season-high two blocks. Marshall is averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists through 22 contests this season.

Good to go Marshall (illness) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs, Jennifer Hale of Bally Sports New Orleans reports

Impact No surprise here, as Marshall was considered probable heading into the game. He is battling an illness, but it isn't severe enough to keep him sidelined.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as probable Marshall (conditioning) is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Marshall has missed the last two games due to illness but is slated to make a return to action Friday. His return comes at a good time for New Orleans considering Brandon Ingram (toe) and Herbert Jones (ankle) have already been ruled out for the game.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Thursday Marshall (illness) took the floor for practice Thursday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While the injury report released later in the day should provide a more definitive word on Marshall's availability for Friday, his participation in practice would seemingly line him up to rejoin the action. With Brandon Ingram (toe) and Herbert Jones (ankle) both expected to sit versus the Spurs, Marshall could see more minutes than usual if he is feeling up to it.

Questionable vs. Raptors Marshall (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Marshall sat out Monday's win over the Thunder. If available, he could see a slightly elevated workload with Brandon Ingram (toe) still out.
