Availability
Naji Marshall scored 22 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-4 FT) with four rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in Monday's 113-105 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
Fantasy Impact
With P.J. Washington (ankle) and Anthony Davis (hand) sidelined on Monday, Marshall took full advantage and delivered an excellent all-around performance in 32 minutes. He will look to produce another strong outing on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets and could see around 30 minutes again if Washington remains out.
Naji Marshall scored 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3PT, 1-2 FT) with two rebounds and four assists in Thursday’s 116-114 loss to the Utah Jazz.
Fantasy Impact
Marshall has scored at least 15 points in each of his last two games and has averaged 16 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and one steal during that span. With Anthony Davis having suffered a hand injury on Thursday, Marshall could be in line for a larger role if Davis is sidelined for Saturday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.
Naji Marshall filled the stat sheet for the Mavericks Saturday night, dishing out four assists, recording two steals, grabbing nine rebounds, and scoring 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-4 FT) in a 121-114 loss to the 76ers.
Fantasy Impact
Marshall continues a steady stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with 15 or more points in each of his last five games. The 27-year-old has operated as more of a complementary option as part of a Dallas starting five led by rookie Cooper Flagg most nights, averaging 13.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game to go along with a 16.4% usage rate so far this season.
Naji Marshall (illness) is active for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact
Marshall was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day due to an illness, but it's not serious and won't leave him sidelined on Thursday. He projects to continue to be a good fantasy option in this matchup against Detroit.
An ankle injury sustained by P.J. Washington during pregame warmups thrust Naji Marshall into the starting lineup Saturday, and he capitalized on the opportunity against the Clippers. In 37 minutes of action, the wing filled the box score with 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
While Marshall has exceeded preseason expectations due to various injuries on the roster, his fantasy viability remains tethered to the health of the players above him on the depth chart. With Dallas kicking off a four-game slate in Week 7 against Denver on Monday, managers should monitor Washington's status closely, as another absence would make Marshall a strong streaming candidate.
