Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Shooting a top priority
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
Marshall produced 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 138-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
This was a nice bounce-back performance from Marshall, who was held to just five points on 2-for-7 shooting his last time out. Marshall continues to alternate double-digit scoring games with single-digit stinkers, which makes him a tough guy to roster in standard fantasy leagues.
