Naji Marshall's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) is listed as active and will play on Saturday in the Mavericks' matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Marshall was originally listed as questionable with an illness but he is feeling good enough to play through it. Marshall has been able to play in every game this season, averaging 8.5 PPG for the Mavericks, mostly off the bench. Fantasy managers with the 26-year-old should get him in their starting lineups. DFS managers may want to be a little more weary about getting Marshall into their lineups as there are likely better options available with more potential for a big game.

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) is questionable heading into Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. With P.J. Washington (knee) sidelined recently, Marshall has been rolling with the first-five. He's played well enough, averaging 10.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in four starts during the 2024-25 campaign. But with Marshall and Washington uncertain for Saturday's contest, head coach Jason Kidd may need to shuffle things around, resulting in more work for Maxi Kleber and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. However, neither of those guys are reliable fantasy options, even with the potential for an uptick in production.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Naji Marshall (shoulder) will be welcomed back into the lineup on Thursday versus Sacramento. He's recovered from a shoulder problem that kept him sidelined for a couple of games. Marshall is typically one of the first guys off the bench, and New Orleans is going to need his presence in a situation where Brandon Ingram (knee) remains absent and Larry Nance Jr. (personal) can't play. However, Marshall isn't a very attractive piece fantasy-wise. He's averaging 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 19.3 minutes for the season.
