Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Logs five assists in spot start
Marshall posted 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3PT, 1-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal over 21 minutes during Saturday's 122-106 loss to the Spurs.
Marshall finished Saturday's game tied with both Walter Clayton and Marcus Sasser for the most assists on the Mavericks. It was Marshall's first start of the season, but he may move back to a bench role Monday against the Heat if Kyrie Irving (knee/rest) is cleared to return.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Starting Saturday
Marshall will start Saturday's game against the Spurs.
With Kyrie Irving (knee/rest) and Cooper Flagg (shoulder) sidelined in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Marshall will enter the starting five and figures to see increased playmaking duties. He's posted at least 15 points and six assists in back-to-back games to begin the regular season.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Nets 15 points with full line
Marshall finished with 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 121-105 win over the Pacers.
With Cooper Flagg (shoulder) leaving the game in the second quarter, Marshall started the second half for the Mavericks and made the most of the increased opportunity. If Flagg can't play Saturday against the Spurs, Marshall would make for an intriguing streamer option in fantasy leagues.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Dishes out six dimes Wednesday
Marshall notched 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Rockets.
Marshall wasn't very productive from three-point range but turned in a solid performance from inside the arc. He finished as the Mavericks' third-leading scorer while pacing the club in assists. After starting 47 of his 74 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, Marshall figures to operate as one of Dallas' first men off the bench this season.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Headed to bench
Marshall will come off the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Hawks.
Marshall started in Wednesday's exhibition loss to the Pelicans with Kyrie Irving (rest) unavailable, but Irving is back from his maintenance day. Marshall will be operating in a reserve role for the Mavs this season, so it'll be tough for him to find enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy leagues.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Starting versus Pelicans
Marshall will start in Wednesday's preseason game against New Orleans, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.
Marshall will start for the second time this preseason. The 28-year-old started in 47 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals over 31.6 minutes per contest in those appearances.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Could work more as facilitator
Marshall tallied 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason loss to Houston.
Marshall got to start for a short-handed Mavericks team in their preseason opener, but that's expected to change once the regular season begins. Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com believes Marshall's playmaking and finishing prowess could allow him to operate more as a point guard off the bench this year, so the forward should still handle a significant role as a member of the second unit.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Shooting a top priority
Marshall said during Media Day that improving his three-point shooting was a major focus during the offseason, Austin Veazey of SI.com reports.
The 28-year-old expressed confidence that the work will translate this season, saying that becoming a more consistent perimeter threat would make him "unstoppable." Marshall averaged a career-high 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 74 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 despite shooting just 29.1 percent from three. A significant improvement from beyond the arc would add another dimension to his offensive game after Dallas signed him to a three-year extension in August.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Signs extension with Dallas
Marshall (hip) signed a three-year, $52.2 million extension with the Mavericks on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Marshall signed a three-year pact with Dallas in July 2024 and is now set to remain with the team for the foreseeable future. The 28-year-old wing is coming off a career-best year in 2025-26, during which he averaged 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 51.0 percent from the floor in 29.5 minutes per game across 74 regular-season appearances (47 starts).

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Role undetermined for 2026-27
Marshall (hip) has more competition for playing time after the Mavericks chose Morez Johnson with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Marshall was one of the bigger fantasy beneficiaries of the various injuries to Dallas' frontcourt in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game to go with 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.5 minutes per game over 74 regular-season appearances (47 starts). Dallas could lose Khris Middleton in unrestricted free agency this offseason, and Klay Thompson is also a rumored trade candidate, so Marshall still has a chance to battle with Max Christie for the top spot at shooting guard next year even though Johnson could create a crunch for minutes in the frontcourt.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Ruled out versus Chicago
Marshall (hip) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Marshall won't play in Sunday's contest against Chicago, marking his third consecutive absence and the end of his 2025-26 campaign. Without him, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are in line to see more minutes while receiving additional scoring opportunities.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Unlikely to play Sunday
Marshall (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls.
It appears as though Marshall will miss a third consecutive game while tending to a left hip contusion. If he's indeed ruled out for Sunday's game, he'll end the 2025-26 regular season averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game along with 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 threes over 29.5 minutes per game. Klay Thompson (rest), Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas should operate in elevated roles if Marshall is sidelined.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Ruled out for Friday
Marshall (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
As expected after entering the day with a doubtful tag, Marshall will sit out his second consecutive contest due to a left hip contusion he sustained during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. With Marshall officially sidelined again, the Mavericks will likely lean on Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to absorb the available minutes in the frontcourt.
