Marshall has played a consistent role off the bench for Dallas this season, but that hasn’t led to much scoring from him. However, after scoring a season-high 16 points on Friday, he provided an encore with a monster performance in this one. Marshall will continue to play a significant role off the bench for the Mavs, but performances like this one won’t happen often. Unless he gets the chance to start, he should be left on the waiver wire in standard leagues.

Marshall was one of the Mavericks’ most productive players on Friday. He came off the bench and made nearly all of his two-point shots en route to finishing as one of six players to score in double figures. The veteran forward was also productive as a facilitator against the Grizzlies, and despite his early-season struggles, is still one of Dallas’ better players off the bench.

On the heels of a 13-point outing against the Hornets, Marshall was one of the most productive members of the Mavericks’ bench against the Jazz on Monday. He scored efficiently and needed just seven shot attempts to nearly reach 20 points and finish as Dallas’ second-best scorer. Marshall is coming off a career-best season as a scorer, although he shot poorly from beyond the arc last season. If he can find his touch from deep, he has a chance to enjoy another productive season in his second campaign with Dallas.

After scoring 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting in his prior two games, Marshall benefited from the Mavericks playing without Anthony Davis on Friday. He’s scored 20 points or more 16 times this season, 15 more than his prior four seasons combined. While Davis may be available for Saturday’s rematch with the Clippers, Dallas watched Klay Thompson (illness) and Jaden Hardy (ankle) exit Friday’s game due to injury. Marshall will have a higher fantasy ceiling if they’re unavailable, even if Davis plays.

Marshall has made quite a few starts this year with all the injuries the Mavericks have dealt with. He got another start Wednesday with PJ Washington (illness) out. The 27-year-old small forward wasn’t nearly as effective in this game as prior starts as he scored just six points on six field goal attempts in 35 minutes, though Marshall made up for it by dishing out eight assists. He’ll continue to have value in deeper formats when inserted into the starting lineup.

Marshall was outstanding during the first half of Tuesday’s game, making the Knicks pay regardless of who was guarding him. The Mavericks forward shot 13-of-15 from the field and scored 28 points. Marshall’s 13 field goals tied him for the most in a half against the Knicks with LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Kobe Bryant. Naji would finish with a career-high 38 on 68 percent shooting from the field. Marshall will likely return to the bench on Thursday in Orlando since Anthony Davis (groin) will be available. However, given the current state of the Mavericks’ roster, he needs to be held in 12-team leagues.

Anthony Davis’ return to the Mavericks’ lineup consigned Marshall to the bench on Monday. The good news for fantasy managers is that the shift did not harm Naji’s productivity. He led Dallas with 22 points, shooting 66.7 percent from the field. With Davis likely to sit out Tuesday’s game against the Knicks, Marshall is a safe bet to return to the starting lineup. He’s rostered in 58 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and managers in standard leagues where Marshall is available should strongly consider streaming him.

Marshall continues to produce even with the return of PJ Washington, though he benefited from the absence of Kessler Edwards on Friday. The 27-year-old small forward managed to score 19 points on 12 shots and pull down 11 rebounds to earn a double-double. Marshall was just five assists away from a triple-double. With four games on tap for the Mavericks next week, Marshall should be rostered in all formats.

Marshall continues to shine for the Mavericks, performing well on Sunday despite PJ Washington returning from a sprained ankle. Naji has scored 20 points or more in two straight and six of his last seven outings, and he has provided top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. The only issue in the short term is Dallas’ upcoming schedule, as they’ll only play two games during Week 20. Fantasy managers who can afford to hold onto Marshall should strongly consider doing so.

Marshall has been one of the few bright spots for the Mavericks in the disastrous post-trade deadline portion of the schedule. He’s scored 20 points or more in five of his last six outings and has provided seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Injuries to multiple players, including PJ Washington and Kyrie Irving, have bolstered Marshall’s value, but he deserves credit for taking advantage of his opportunity. The only negative regarding fantasy basketball is that Dallas only plays two games during Week 20.

Marshall has been in the starting lineup for the Mavs’ last four games, and he has been fantastic in that role. He scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half on Monday to extend his streak of 20-point games to four. During that stretch, he has averaged 27 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 three-pointers per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor. Rostered in 51 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he should be added where he is still available.

Dallas began Sunday’s game with nine available players and ended it with seven. That’s how bad things have gotten for the Mavericks injury-wise, but the absences have opened the door for Marshall to shine. He finished Sunday’s defeat with a career-high point total and one rebound shy of a triple-double. Rostered in 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Marshall is in “must-roster” territory in standard leagues. The Mavericks play four games during Week 19, starting with the Spurs on Monday and Wednesday.

Marshall has now played at least 30 minutes in five straight games. The 27-year-old small forward is really coming on in the last two games as he’s had at least 20 points and at least 10 rebounds in both games. As long as PJ Washington is one of the many Mavericks sidelined, Marshall is certainly worth rostering.

Starting for the injured PJ Washington (ankle), Marshall was one of Dallas’ few bright spots on Wednesday. Over the last two games, he’s accounted for 40 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two three-pointers. While ranked outside the top 100 since the All-Star break, Marshall (26 percent rostered, Yahoo!) is worth picking up, even after Washington returns. Kyrie Irving (knee) is out for the season, and there have been rumblings that Anthony Davis (groin) could be shut down.

Marshall has averaged 10/6/4 over the last two weeks. Those numbers won’t turn many heads, but he could be in line to see his role and production spike with injuries mounting in Dallas. Marshall is worth a look for fantasy’s silly season.

Marshall’s stat line was underwhelming on Saturday outside of the assists and steals. However, PJ Washington’s right ankle flared up, and the Mavericks’ forward was ruled out after playing for 15 minutes. While Washington was on a restriction (25-30 minutes), his premature exit meant more playing time for Marshall. He’ll likely be back in the starting lineup if Washington misses time. In 15 starts this season, Naji has averaged 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes.

Marshall entered the starting lineup on Thursday in place of PJ Washington, who was sidelined with an ankle injury. Marshall has generally been productive as a starter this season, but he struggled to get any shot to go down on Thursday. Still, he was able to provide some solid value in rebounds and assists, though that was the extent of his contributions to fantasy managers in this game. If Washington remains out against the Bucks on Saturday, Marshall should start again and hopefully have a more productive night offensively.
