Naji Marshall News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Another absence coming Marshall (illness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Thunder.

Impact Marshall will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to an illness. Olivier-Maxence Prosper should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Marshall's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Boston.

Ruled out for Wednesday Marshall (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Impact Marshall was unable to shake his questionable tag for the front end of this back-to-back set. Klay Thompson (ankle) is also out, leaving the Mavericks thin on the wings. Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper could potentially see heavy workloads as a result.

Iffy with illness Marshall (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Marshall is dealing with an illness, so the Mavericks will likely see how he's feeling closer to Wednesday's tipoff before determining his game status. With Klay Thompson (ankle) and Quentin Grimes (back) also uncertain to play against Minnesota, Dallas could be forced to turn to Spencer Dinwiddie and Olivier-Maxence Prosper for a heavy dose of playing time.

Double-doubles off bench Friday Marshall accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 106-98 win over Oklahoma City.

Impact Marshall returned to a bench role Friday due to the return of Kyrie Irving, but the former Xavier forward still made his presence felt in this matchup by recording a double-double off the bench. Marshall has been playing well of late and has scored in double digits in five of his seven outings this month, averaging 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists while logging 29.3 minutes per game.

Slides to bench Friday Marshall won't start in Friday's game against the Thunder, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Marshall is retreating to Dallas' bench with Kyrie Irving back in the lineup. Over his last six games, Marshall is averaging 11.3 points, 4.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 threes in 28.4 minutes.

JANUARY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 points Tuesday Marshall ended Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Nuggets with 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 22 minutes.

Impact Marshall had an efficient performance from a shooting perspective, and while the final stat line wasn't encouraging, the regression in his numbers was somewhat expected due to the return of Kyrie Irving to the starting lineup. Marshall has still scored in double digits in four of his last five contests, averaging 12.2 points per game in that span.

Solid showing Sunday Marshall chipped in 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Marshall has started in each of the Mavericks' last four games and has scored in double digits in three of those contests. He's set to experience an uptick in his fantasy value as long as he remains in a starting role, as he's posting averages of 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game over that four-game stretch.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing in win Marshall supplied 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Marshall has seen a boost in minutes with Luka Doncic on the mend and is coming off a decent performance in the win over the Trail Blazers. The 26-year-old has scored in double digits in two of the last three games, with Dallas needing to continue to lean on him until Doncic returns.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 16 points as starter Marshall posted 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes of action during Monday's loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Despite spending the bulk of this season coming off the bench, Marshall got a chance to start in his return from suspension with Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) on the sidelines. He recorded a full stat line and contributed on both ends of the court, but his struggles from the field did hurt his fantasy output. Even if he remains with the first unit while both Doncic and Irving remain out, it's worth noting that neither his volume nor production tend to take a significant leap in the role, as he averages 12.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists as a starter vs. 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists off the bench.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Getting chance with first unit Marshall is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Marshall will get another look with the starting lineup in his first game back from a four-game suspension. The Xavier product also started his last appearance Dec. 27 against the Suns and was later involved in an on-court altercation, which led to the multi-game ban. It's worth noting that Marshall has reached the 20-point mark in two of eight starts this season.

Impact Marshall and Nurkic exchanged words with each other after the latter was assessed with an offensive foul, and the two had to be separated after throwing a punch at each other. P.J. Washington was also ejected for shoving Nurkic to the floor. The ejections of Marshall and Washington should mean more playing time for Maxi Kleber, Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper for the rest of Friday's game.

Moving to starting role Marshall is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact The Mavericks are adjusting their lineup due to the absence of Luka Doncic (calf), so Klay Thompson will play in the backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving and Marshall will slot on the wing. Marshall is averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in his previous seven starts this season.

Impact Marshall has missed five of the 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, including five games in which he scored at least 20 points.

Practices Tuesday Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said that Marshall (illness) practiced Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact 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 PJ Washington for each of those contests.
