Marshall is on track to miss a second consecutive game as he deals with a hip contusion. While Ryan Nembhard moved into the starting lineup, John Poulakidis scored a career-high 23 points off the bench. For managers in active fantasy leagues needing scoring, Poulakidis will be worth a look.

Marshall, who fell hard on his hip during Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers, will join the long list of Mavericks sidelined for Wednesday’s game. John Poulakidis should once again play rotation minutes off the bench, and Ryan Nembhard could move into the starting five.

After totaling seven assists in his prior four appearances, Marshall racked up seven helpers in Sunday’s victory. His overall stat line was a good one, except for free-throw percentage. While Marshall has not provided much more than late-round value in 12-team formats, the Mavericks’ many injuries have made him worth the risk. Overall, he has been a better option for points leagues than category leagues.

Marshall is available and back in the starting lineup after missing the past two games. His return moves Khris Middleton back to a reserve role as a result. The Mavericks have lost seven of their past eight games and will face a Magic team in need of a win. Despite the overall record, Dallas still has several players who could make an impact in the closing days of the fantasy basketball season.

The Mavericks will be down multiple contributors for Monday’s game, including Marshall. Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson are likely to play more out of necessity, with the former offering a higher ceiling in category leagues.

Marshall is under the weather. The 28-year-old small forward popped up as probable for Monday’s game against the Timberwolves with an illness. Marshall is still likely to play given his probable status, but his status is worth monitoring.

Marshall has not provided much beyond points, rebounds and assists on most nights this season. That wasn’t the case in Portland, as he recorded a career-high five steals, providing fantasy managers with an excellent bonus. While the Mavericks are done for Week 22, they’ll play four games in Week 23, making Marshall a player worth rostering for championship week in Yahoo! default leagues.

The Mavericks went to overtime for a second straight game, and for the second time in a row, Marshall was one of Dallas’ best scorers. Rebounding and playmaking for others were also key parts of his performance, but unfortunately, so were his season-high eight turnovers. Marshall has been, and will continue to be, one of the Mavericks’ go-to offensive options down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect a drop in production.

Marshall has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four games, and he got up 23 shots on Saturday. That kind of volume can help compensate for the limited defensive production, as was the case against the Clippers. Even with the increased scoring, Marshall’s category league value remains low. That said, managers in points leagues should be more willing to roll the dice on him, even with the Mavericks limited to three games in Week 22.

Marshall led all scores in Monday’s Mavericks-Pelicans matchup, as he finished with a season-high in shot attempts. He reached the 30-point mark for the sixth time this season and also came up just a couple of rebounds and a few assists shy of a triple-double. Marshall has taken a big step on the offensive end this season in what’s been a career-best year for him. There’s no reason for fantasy managers to expect a role change or sudden dip in production down the stretch of the season.

Marshall was one of three Mavericks starters in double figures as they avenged Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers. While his scoring output was excellent, fantasy managers with Marshall on their rosters will also be pleased with the rebounds and assists. He hasn’t been the best category-league option, but Naji’s role has made him worth the risk in 12-team leagues. The Mavericks begin a three-game Week 21 on Monday in New Orleans.

Marshall is good to go after initially being listed as questionable. With P.J. Washington out, Naji will figure more prominently in the Mavericks’ rotation, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Marshall is dealing with left foot soreness and could sit out the second leg of the Mavs’ back-to-back set. If Marshall is ultimately sidelined, more minutes should be available for Caleb Martin and Khris Middleton.

The Mavericks have made a change to their starting lineup, with Marshall stepping in for Khris Middleton. The move into the first five raises Marshall’s fantasy ceiling, but the defensive output has been limited in recent games.

While his role makes Marshall a player worth rolling the dice on in fantasy leagues, his value has been ranked outside of the top-200 since the All-Star break. Against the Celtics, Marshall shot 50 percent from the field and dished out a few assists, but the overall production was underwhelming. He’ll look to end Week 19 on a high note when the Mavericks visit the Raptors on Sunday.

Marshall is good to go after missing Dallas’s last two games with a right finger contusion. With Cooper Flagg making his return from a foot injury, Marshall may be used in a reserve role on Thursday. However, he should get the minutes needed to provide solid fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Marshall is expected to return following a two-game absence. Cooper Flagg (foot) is questionable, so Marshall’s spot in the starting unit will likely be dependent on Flagg’s availability for this game.

While Marshall did have to exit Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies briefly after banging heads with Memphis’ Javon Small, a finger contusion is why he’s on the injury report for Sunday. Given how shorthanded the Mavericks are, his absence would have a noticeable impact on the team’s rotation. AJ Johnson and Miles Kelly could pick up additional minutes off the bench if Marshall can’t play.

Marshall has been an excellent source of offense over the last two seasons for Dallas, but this was one of his best. He has seven 30-point games in his career, all coming over the past calendar year, including five this season. He fell two points shy of matching his career high in this one. As long as he’s healthy and available, he’ll continue to pour in the stats for the Mavs.

Marshall has scored at least 15 points in five straight games, recording 20 or more in two. While his defensive production remains limited, the Mavericks’ wing did dish out seven assists against the Nets. With Cooper Flagg (foot) sidelined, Marshall has a higher ceiling out of necessity. Even if the defensive production isn’t there on most nights, he is worth the risk due to Dallas’ depleted rotation.

Marshall’s production over the past month is why he’s still rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, even with all of the Mavericks’ injuries. While the rebounds, assists and steals accumulated on Friday were solid, Marshall had a rough night shooting the basketball. He is shooting 48.6 percent from the field over the past month, so Friday’s performance was a departure from the norm in that regard. However, for Marshall to be a player worthy of a look in more 12-team leagues, he’ll need to bring a bit more to the table defensively and as a playmaker for others.

Marshall, coming off a 31-point performance in Tuesday’s loss to the Suns, will start with Cooper Flagg (foot) out while Brandon Williams replaces Tyus Jones. The 28-year-old small forward should be in line for big minutes again Thursday in a good matchup against the Lakers.

Marshall was upgraded to probable Thursday afternoon, so his availability against the Lakers doesn’t come as a surprise. With Cooper Flagg (foot) out, the 28-year-old small forward should be in line for all the minutes he can handle.

Marshall was initially listed as questionable with a sprained left foot, but now he’s been upgraded to probable ahead of Thursday’s game against the Lakers. He should see a significant workload with Cooper Flagg (foot) already ruled out.

Marshall is dealing with a strained left foot, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday’s game. With Cooper Flagg (foot) listed as doubtful, Marshall would likely be in for a heavy workload if he can play. Tyus Jones would have added value if both sit, even with his subpar showing in Tuesday’s loss to the Suns.

Marshall came off the bench on Tuesday, with Tyus Jones bumping him from the starting lineup. That didn’t prevent Naji from having one of his most productive nights of the season, recording his second 30-point stat line in three games and fourth of the season. Marshall would replace the ineffective Jones in the Mavericks’ lineup to begin the third quarter, and it’s difficult to envision a scenario in which that doesn’t hold for Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Marshall has not been a player that fantasy managers look to for three-point production, as he entered Thursday with ten games of at least two triples. That changed on Thursday, as the Mavericks’ wing hit four, matching his career-high. Add in the points, rebounds and assists, and this was a good night to have Marshall rostered. Of course, category league managers will want some defensive production out of Naji. Still, he’s one of the few reliable fantasy options on the Mavericks’ roster beyond Cooper Flagg at this point.
