Season-best outing in defeat Marshall chipped in 34 points (13-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 41 minutes during Sunday's 125-116 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Marshall put together his best offensive performance of the season, doing it all for Dallas in Sunday's contest by leading all players in scoring, assists and rebounds while finishing one rebound shy of a triple-double. Marshall set a new season high in scoring while tying a season-best assist mark. He recorded his fourth double-double of the season, three of which have taken place in the last three contests.

Second straight double-double 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.

Impact 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 as 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.

MARCH 6, 2025 • Associated Press

Bumped into starting lineup Marshall will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Marshall will make his 16th start of the campaign, joining Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Christie, Klay Thompson and Dwight Powell in the first unit for the shorthanded Mavs. In his other 15 starts, Marshall averaged 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 26.8 minutes.

Posts solid line in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Returns to bench Marshall won't start Saturday's game against the Bucks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact With P.J. Washington (ankle) out, Marshall moved into the starting lineup Thursday against Charlotte and posted three points (1-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes. Washington has been cleared to play Saturday, so Marshall will retreat to his bench role. As a reserve this season (32 games), Marshall has averaged 11.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per game.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Miserable shooting night in start Marshall provided three points (1-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Thursday's 103-96 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Marshall joined the starting lineup in the absence of P.J. Washington (ankle) on Thursday, but the former struggled mightily from the field. However, Marshall was still able to chip in nine boards and six dimes to help offset the poor shooting night. The 27-year-old forward has now made 15 starts this season, averaging 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes as a member of the first unit. If Washington remains out for Saturday's clash with the Bucks, Marshall should carry decent streaming appeal in fantasy leagues.

Promoted to starting role Marshall is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Marshall will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of P.J. Washington (ankle), meaning he'll slot at power forward in a small-ball lineup with four shooters surrounding Moses Brown. This will be Marshall's 15th start of the season and is currently averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game in that role.

Impact Marshall led the second unit in scoring while receiving extended run with several of the Mavericks' key contributors sidelined. The 27-year-old also came one rebound shy of his second double-double of the season. Over his last five outings, Marshall has averaged 13.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.8 minutes per game.

Scores 16 points off bench Saturday Marshall registered 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 win over Houston.

Impact Marshall got an extended run off the bench Saturday after P.J. Washington was ruled out for the second half due to a right ankle sprain. Marshall has scored at least 12 points in each of his last four games, and over that span, he has averaged 16.8 points on 56.3 percent shooting, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals over 25.3 minutes per game. Marshall or Max Christie could start against the Kings on Monday if Washington is not cleared to play.

Another strong outing off bench Marshall tallied 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 127-120 win over Boston.

Impact Thursday was the first time since Nov. 27 that Marshall reached the 20-point mark, and he finished as the Mavericks' third-leading scorer behind Klay Thompson (25) and Spencer Dinwiddie (22). Marshall has scored in double digits in each of his last three outings, and over that span he has averaged 17.0 points on 52.6 percent shooting, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over 25.3 minutes per game.

Offers spark off bench in loss 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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return Wednesday Marshall 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.

Impact Marshall returned from a four-game absence as a result of an illness, playing limited minutes off the bench. While his production was also limited, he should be able to ramp up both moving forward, at least until Luka Doncic is cleared to return. Marshall has the ability to chip in across the board, albeit on low volume. Expect to see his playing time increase over the next couple of games as he recovers from what was a lengthy illness-related absence.

Available vs. New Orleans Marshall (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Marshall will return to the hardwood after a four-game absence due to an illness. He's been a solid contributor when available, regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. He's averaging 11.3 points, 4.8 boards and 3.8 assists per game since the beginning of January.

Iffy against New Orleans Marshall (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Marshall is in danger of missing his fifth straight outing Wednesday due to an illness. If Marshall is downgraded to out yet again, Kessler Edwards, Brandon Williams and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should all continue to receive increased playing time.
