Naji Marshall Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Heat vs Mavericks game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 30, 2025
Drops 18 points in win
Marshall finished with 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 114-110 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Although Cooper Flagg's 35 points paced the Mavericks, Marshall took a spot in the starting lineup and finished with a solid total. Marshall took P.J. Washington's (ankle) place after Washington tweaked his ankle during warmups. Washington's injury outlook is unclear, but Marsalll is likely to start again if Washington is sidelined for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Nov 29, 2025
Starts Saturday
Marshall started Saturday's game against the Clippers, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
P.J. Washington was initially set to start at power forward, though he reportedly turned his ankle in pregame warmups, resulting in Marshall getting the starting nod. If Washington is unable to play, Marshall should see a significant bump in minutes with Anthony Davis (calf) also sidelined.
Nov 20, 2025
Drops 23 off bench
Marshall notched 23 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had a great shooting night, following his subpar outing against Minnesota on Monday. While his inconsistent usage prevents him from being an elite fantasy asset, performances like Wednesday's makes the case why Marshall should at least be rostered, and should any more injuries occur, he would slide right in to the starting lineup.
Nov 15, 2025
Drops 28 points in double OT loss
Marshall registered 28 points (8-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 47 minutes during Friday's 133-127 double overtime loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall can be hit-or-miss, but he's been in a nice rhythm over the past five games, posting averages of 19.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 triples, 1.4 steals and just 0.8 turnovers per contest. His production will likely drop off a cliff once Anthony Davis (calf) gets back to the floor, but with AD hurt and Dereck Lively on a minutes cap, Marshall should continue to see a ton of opportunity with the Mavericks.
Nov 14, 2025
Starting Friday
Marshall is part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will draw the start due to the absences of P.J. Washington (shoulder) and Anthony Davis (calf). It'll be Marshall's first start of the campaign. In his last four games, the 27-year-old forward is averaging 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals across 26.8 minutes.
Nov 8, 2025
Delivers 30-point outburst
Marshall finished with 30 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Marshall carried his team to a victory by turning in his best performance of the 2025-26 season. He found success from all over the floor, shooting with efficiency from the field while also getting to the charity stripe with ease. Marshall has looked sharp in back-to-back games, pouring in 46 total points along with 15 rebounds, six assists and three steals.
Nov 8, 2025
Sets new season-high scoring mark
Marshall ended Friday's 118-104 loss to Memphis with 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall recorded his best scoring mark of the campaign in this loss Friday. The former Xavier standout can be a reliable scoring weapon for the Mavs when given enough minutes, as evidenced during some stretches last season, but he hasn't been able to produce much in 2025-26. Even though his minutes have remained steady in the 25-minute range, Marshall has scored in double digits in just two of his nine outings off the bench.
Nov 4, 2025
Puts up nine points in loss
Marshall totaled nine points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Marshall currently sees a consistent 22-25 minutes off the bench and averages 7.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals. With Dereck Lively (knee) and Anthony Davis (calf) out, he may continue to play in this minutes range, but once one or both return those minutes may dwindle to accommodate.
Oct 27, 2025
Excels off bench
Marshall finished Sunday's 139-129 victory over the Raptors with 12 points (4-4 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dallas got a huge lift from their second unit in this game, particularly from Marshall, D'Angelo Russell and Max Christie with those three combining for 53 points. Marshall was one of Dallas' most reliable players during the 2024-25 regular season when injuries took their toll, and he's off to a great start to the new campaign with averages of 7.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest through three games.
Oct 14, 2025
Pops for 17 off bench
Marshall scored 17 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT) while adding two rebounds, an assist and a block in 21 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-101 preseason win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old forward is coming off a career-best season with Dallas, averaging 13.2 points, 4.8 boards, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.8 minutes over 69 regular-season games, but Marshall started 31 of those contests as the injury-plagued Mavericks tried to patch together a lineup for long stretches of the campaign. Better luck on the health front, as well as the addition of first overall pick Cooper Flagg, will likely consign Marshall to the second unit in 2025-26, capping his minutes and production.
Apr 14, 2025
Limited to 11 points Sunday
Marshall ended Sunday's 132-97 loss to the Grizzlies with 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall didn't have his best performance Sunday, although to be fair, he was one of the few regulars who suited up for this regular-season finale and was limited to 28 minutes. He should see a steady role in the rotation during the postseason run, beginning with the matchup against the Kings on Wednesday, but he's likely to come off the bench if most of the frontcourt options are healthy.
Apr 9, 2025
Team-high eight assists Wednesday
Marshall ended with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall functioned as Dallas' floor general Wednesday, handing out a team-high eight assists while the team chose not to deploy a traditional starting point guard. Marshall has flourished down the stretch while handling an expanded role for the injury-riddled Mavericks, posting averages of 19.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.9 minutes over his last 19 games.
Apr 9, 2025
Starting vs. Lakers
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks are tweaking their lineup and won't have Spencer Dinwiddie in the starting lineup, with Marshall taking his place. He's been solid when starting in recent weeks, averaging 21.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in 13 starts since the beginning of March.
Apr 5, 2025
Not starting vs. Clippers
Marshall is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks are going with P.J. Washington at the three, Anthony Davis at the four and Dereck Lively at center. Thus, Marshall will wait for his opportunity off the bench. Marshall is averaging 11.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game when coming off the bench this season.
Apr 5, 2025
Leads team with 22 points
Marshall ended with 22 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 114-91 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was a bright spot during the blowout loss, The team has a tough schedule to close out the season, and they need to come together as they try to fend off the Kings and Suns for a play-in spot. Marshall's numbers have dipped slightly since P.J. Washington's return, but he's still recording solid minutes and is a decent resource in secondary categories.
Apr 2, 2025
Starting sans Washington
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will move into the starting lineup due to the absence of P.J. Washington (illness). In 26 previous starts this season, the former Xavier standout has averaged 16.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game.
Apr 1, 2025
Nearly double-doubles
Marshall supplied eight points (4-7 FG), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 113-109 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks are starting to get healthier, and that could limit Marshall's upside going forward -- Daniel Gafford returned Monday, and Dereck Lively (ankle) could be back this week. Plus, Anthony Davis and P.J. Washington seem to have put their injuries behind them. If Marshall can maintain a role with minutes in the mid-20s, however, he could still offer late-round fantasy appeal.
Mar 29, 2025
Coming off bench Saturday
Marshall is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Bulls on Saturday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will retreat to the bench Saturday due to P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis both returning to action Saturday. Marshall started in 11 of the Mavericks' last 12 games and averaged 22.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 36.4 minutes per game over that span.

Scores career-high 38 points
Marshall finished Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks with 38 points (17-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall continued his breakout season, going off to the tune of 38 points, marking a career-high. The Mavericks have fumbled their way through an injury-ravaged season, forcing Marshall into a sizeable role. In 26 games over the past two months, he is averaging 16.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per contest. If the season were to end today, these would be by far the best numbers of his career.
Mar 25, 2025
Back in first unit Tuesday
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
With PJ Washington (ankle) and Anthony Davis (adductor) both sidelined, Marshall will get a chance to rejoin the starting group Tuesday. The move to the first unit should give Marshall plenty of streaming appeal, as he's averaged 22.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.8 minutes over nine games as a starter this month.
Mar 25, 2025
Scores 22 points off bench
Marshall posted 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall moved back to a bench role following Anthony Davis' return to the starting lineup, but that didn't stop him from being one of the top offensive weapons on the Mavericks' roster in this comfortable win. The former Xavier standout has scored at least 15 points in 11 games in a row, a stretch in which he's also reached the 20-point threshold eight times, including in four of the last five. He's averaging a solid 22.2 points per game over that 11-game stretch,
Mar 24, 2025
Retreating to bench Monday

ANALYSIS

Mar 22, 2025
Efficient output in win Friday

During that nine-game stretch, Marshall is averaging 22.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.
Mar 15, 2025
Continues to surge Friday
Marshall supplied 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 133-96 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Marshall continued his recent surge Friday, scoring at least 15 points in his seventh consecutive outing. The 27-year-old forward should continue to see an expanded role for the short-handed Mavericks down the stretch of the season. Across this seven-game stretch, Marhsall has averaged 23.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 35.8 minutes.
Mar 13, 2025
Serviceable two-way effort
Marshall closed with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 126-116 loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Marshall continues to play a sizeable role for the Mavericks, scoring double-digits for the sixth straight game. Dallas is very shorthanded at the moment, meaning Marshall has moved up the ladder when it comes to the offensive pecking order. In eight games over the past two weeks, Marshall is averaging 18.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.
Mar 9, 2025
Season-best outing in defeat
Marshall chipped in 34 points (13-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 41 minutes during Sunday's 125-116 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Marshall put together his best offensive performance of the season, doing it all for Dallas in Sunday's contest by leading all players in scoring, assists and rebounds while finishing one rebound shy of a triple-double. Marshall set a new season high in scoring while tying a season-best assist mark. He recorded his fourth double-double of the season, three of which have taken place in the last three contests.
Mar 8, 2025
Second straight double-double
Marshall closed with 29 points (10-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 122-111 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was promoted into a starting role two games ago and notched a second consecutive double-double, but he also reached the 18-point mark for the third straight contest. Marshall is expected to remain as the starting power forward and should continue to have a steady role in a depleted frontcourt for the Mavs. To note, the Mavs are currently missing P.J. Washington (ankle), Kai Jones (quadriceps), Dereck Lively (ankle), Daniel Gafford (knee), Anthony Davis (thigh) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) due to injuries.
Mar 5, 2025
Bumped into starting lineup
Marshall will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will make his 16th start of the campaign, joining Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Christie, Klay Thompson and Dwight Powell in the first unit for the shorthanded Mavs. In his other 15 starts, Marshall averaged 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 26.8 minutes.
Mar 4, 2025
Posts solid line in loss
Marshall logged 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 122-98 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Kyrie Irving left this game early with a sprained knee and was unable to return for Dallas. The Mavericks are already very shorthanded, so if Irving is forced to miss time, Marshall looks poised to step into a larger role. He's had a solid campaign so far, posting averages of 11.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.1 minutes.
Mar 1, 2025
Returns to bench
Marshall won't start Saturday's game against the Bucks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
With P.J. Washington (ankle) out, Marshall moved into the starting lineup Thursday against Charlotte and posted three points (1-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes. Washington has been cleared to play Saturday, so Marshall will retreat to his bench role. As a reserve this season (32 games), Marshall has averaged 11.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per game.
Feb 27, 2025
Miserable shooting night in start
Marshall provided three points (1-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Thursday's 103-96 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Marshall joined the starting lineup in the absence of P.J. Washington (ankle) on Thursday, but the former struggled mightily from the field. However, Marshall was still able to chip in nine boards and six dimes to help offset the poor shooting night. The 27-year-old forward has now made 15 starts this season, averaging 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes as a member of the first unit. If Washington remains out for Saturday's clash with the Bucks, Marshall should carry decent streaming appeal in fantasy leagues.
Feb 27, 2025
Promoted to starting role
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of P.J. Washington (ankle), meaning he'll slot at power forward in a small-ball lineup with four shooters surrounding Moses Brown. This will be Marshall's 15th start of the season and is currently averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game in that role.
Feb 14, 2025
Leads bench in win
Marshall chipped in 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Marshall led the second unit in scoring while receiving extended run with several of the Mavericks' key contributors sidelined. The 27-year-old also came one rebound shy of his second double-double of the season. Over his last five outings, Marshall has averaged 13.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.8 minutes per game.
Feb 8, 2025
Scores 16 points off bench Saturday
Marshall registered 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Marshall got an extended run off the bench Saturday after P.J. Washington was ruled out for the second half due to a right ankle sprain. Marshall has scored at least 12 points in each of his last four games, and over that span he has averaged 16.8 points on 56.3 percent shooting, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals over 25.3 minutes per game. Marshall or Max Christie could start against the Kings on Monday if Washington is not cleared to play.
Feb 6, 2025
Another strong outing off bench
Marshall tallied 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 127-120 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Thursday was the first time since Nov. 27 that Marshall reached the 20-point mark, and he finished as the Mavericks' third-leading scorer behind Klay Thompson (25) and Spencer Dinwiddie (22). Marshall has scored in double digits in each of his last three outings, and over that span he has averaged 17.0 points on 52.6 percent shooting, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over 25.3 minutes per game.
Feb 4, 2025
Offers spark off bench in loss
Marshall posted 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
It was Marshall's highest scoring output since a Dec. 10 loss to the Thunder. Over his last 12 games (six starts), the 27-year-old has remained a fixture in the Dallas rotation with averages of 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 threes in 26.7 minutes. Marshall could have a more difficult time earning playing time from the Mavericks' second unit once Anthony Davis (abdomen) and P.J. Washington (personal) are available, but the former should be able to maintain minutes in the mid-20s until the frontcourt gets healthier.
Jan 30, 2025
Limited in return Wednesday
Marshall racked up five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two assists over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Marshall returned from a four-game absence as a result of an illness, playing limited minutes off the bench. While his production was also limited, he should be able to ramp up both moving forward, at least until Luka Doncic is cleared to return. Marshall has the ability to chip in across the board, albeit on low volume. Expect to see his playing time increase over the next couple of games as he recovers from what was a lengthy illness-related absence.
Jan 29, 2025
Available vs. New Orleans
Marshall (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will return to the hardwood after a four-game absence due to an illness. He's been a solid contributor when available, regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. He's averaging 11.3 points, 4.8 boards and 3.8 assists per game since the beginning of January.
Jan 28, 2025
Iffy against New Orleans
Marshall (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is in danger of missing his fifth straight outing Wednesday due to an illness. If Marshall is downgraded to out yet again, Kessler Edwards, Brandon Williams and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should all continue to receive increased playing time.
Jan 26, 2025
Out again
Marshall (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Wizards, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss a fourth straight game due to an illness. Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should continue to see ample playing time in Marshall's absence.
Jan 24, 2025
Out vs. Boston
Marshall (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss a third straight game due to an illness, as the Mavericks continue to navigate a complicated stretch due to injuries. Marshall's next chance to suit up will come against the Wizards on Monday, Jan. 27. Olivier-Maxence Prosper should continue to receive increased playing time in Marshall's absence.
Jan 23, 2025
Another absence coming
Marshall (illness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to an illness. Olivier-Maxence Prosper should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Marshall's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Boston.
Jan 22, 2025
Ruled out for Wednesday
Marshall (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was unable to shake his questionable tag for the front end of this back-to-back set. Klay Thompson (ankle) is also out, leaving the Mavericks thin on the wings. Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper could potentially see heavy workloads as a result.
Jan 21, 2025
Iffy with illness
Marshall (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is dealing with an illness, so the Mavericks will likely see how he's feeling closer to Wednesday's tipoff before determining his game status. With Klay Thompson (ankle) and Quentin Grimes (back) also uncertain to play against Minnesota, Dallas could be forced to turn to Spencer Dinwiddie and Olivier-Maxence Prosper for a heavy dose of playing time.
Jan 18, 2025
Double-doubles off bench Friday
Marshall accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 106-98 win over Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Marshall returned to a bench role Friday due to the return of Kyrie Irving, but the former Xavier forward still made his presence felt in this matchup by recording a double-double off the bench. Marshall has been playing well of late and has scored in double digits in five of his seven outings this month, averaging 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists while logging 29.3 minutes per game.
Jan 17, 2025
Slides to bench Friday
Marshall won't start in Friday's game against the Thunder, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is retreating to Dallas' bench with Kyrie Irving back in the lineup. Over his last six games, Marshall is averaging 11.3 points, 4.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 threes in 28.4 minutes.
Jan 15, 2025
Scores 11 points Tuesday
Marshall ended Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Nuggets with 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had an efficient performance from a shooting perspective, and while the final stat line wasn't encouraging, the regression in his numbers was somewhat expected due to the return of Kyrie Irving to the starting lineup. Marshall has still scored in double digits in four of his last five contests, averaging 12.2 points per game in that span.
Jan 13, 2025
Solid showing Sunday
Marshall chipped in 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has started in each of the Mavericks' last four games and has scored in double digits in three of those contests. He's set to experience an uptick in his fantasy value as long as he remains in a starting role, as he's posting averages of 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game over that four-game stretch.
Jan 10, 2025
Solid outing in win
Marshall supplied 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has seen a boost in minutes with Luka Doncic on the mend and is coming off a decent performance in the win over the Trail Blazers. The 26-year-old has scored in double digits in two of the last three games, with Dallas needing to continue to lean on him until Doncic returns.
Jan 7, 2025
Logs 16 points as starter
Marshall posted 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes of action during Monday's loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Despite spending the bulk of this season coming off the bench, Marshall got a chance to start in his return from suspension with Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) on the sidelines. He recorded a full stat line and contributed on both ends of the court, but his struggles from the field did hurt his fantasy output. Even if he remains with the first unit while both Doncic and Irving remain out, it's worth noting that neither his volume nor production tend to take a significant leap in the role, as he averages 12.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists as a starter vs. 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists off the bench.
Jan 6, 2025
Getting chance with first unit
Marshall is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will get another look with the starting lineup in his first game back from a four-game suspension. The Xavier product also started his last appearance Dec. 27 against the Suns and was later involved in an on-court altercation, which led to the multi-game ban. It's worth noting that Marshall has reached the 20-point mark in two of eight starts this season.
Dec 28, 2024
Suspended four games
The NBA announced Saturday that Marshall has been suspended for four games due to an on-court altercation with Jusuf Nurkic.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had already been ejected from Friday's contest against Portland after punching Nurkic in the face with 9:02 remaining in the third quarter. Marshall also attempted to further engage with Nurkic in a hostile manner in the corridor outside the locker rooms. Marshall will remain sidelined until Jan. 6 against Memphis. Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence.

Ejected from Friday's game
Marshall was ejected in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Suns after getting into an altercation with Jusuf Nurkic, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Marshall's night will finish with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall and Nurkic exchanged words with each other after the latter was assessed with an offensive foul, and the two had to be separated after throwing a punch at each other. P.J. Washington was also ejected for shoving Nurkic to the floor. The ejections of Marshall and Washington should mean more playing time for Maxi Kleber, Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper for the rest of Friday's game.
Dec 27, 2024
Moving to starting role
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks are adjusting their lineup due to the absence of Luka Doncic (calf), so Klay Thompson will play in the backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving and Marshall will slot on the wing. Marshall is averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in his previous seven starts this season.
Dec 18, 2024
Ready to return Thursday
Marshall (illness) is ready to return and will be available for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. ""Pretty good. It's been eight days, so I feel good. I've got my legs back under me. It was just a little bit of time off, but I'm good now. I'm back and feeling better," he said.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has missed five of the Mavericks' first six games in December due to an illness, but it seems the time off benefited him to make a full recovery. He was on a sizzling stretch when suffering the injury, as the former Xavier standout averaged 14.3 points per game in November, including five games in which he scored at least 20 points.
Dec 17, 2024
Practices Tuesday
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said that Marshall (illness) practiced Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has missed five of the Mavericks' first six games in December due to an illness, but his presence on the court Tuesday seemingly has him trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Clippers. The 26-year-old has played at least 26 minutes in five of his last six appearances and has averaged 19.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.2 assists, but Dallas was without one or both of Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson or PJ Washington for each of those contests.
Dec 14, 2024
Won't play against Golden State
Marshall (illness) is out for Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss his fifth game out of Dallas' last six outings due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Clippers.
Dec 13, 2024
Absent from practice
Marshall didn't participate in Friday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall recently returned from a four-game absence due to an illness but it's unclear if he didn't practice for the same reason. Regardless, Marshall's availability for Sunday's game versus the Warriors is now in doubt.
Dec 11, 2024
Ties for team scoring lead in return
Marshall (illness) tallied 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Despite the Mavericks having both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving available for the NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup, Marshall -- who had missed the team's previous four contests -- finished as the surprise co-leader in scoring for Dallas along with Klay Thompson. Though he hadn't displayed much offensive game during the first four seasons of his career in New Orleans, Marshall has shown growth so far during his time in Dallas, as he's averaging a career-high 11.9 points per contest. He's been especially hot over his last eight appearances, posting 17.8 points per contest on 61.1 percent shooting from the field and 46.4 percent from three-point range. Both marks are well above his career-long rates of 44.3 and 31.3 percent, respectively, so fantasy managers who have been riding the wave of Marshall's recent production should anticipate some regression eventually heading his way.
Dec 10, 2024
Good to go Tuesday
Coach Jason Kidd said that Marshall (illness) will play under a minutes restriction in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Thunder, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old will return to action after a four-game absence due to an illness, though Kidd expects he'll be limited to around 25 minutes. Over his last five outings (three starts), Marshall has averaged 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 25.4 minutes per contest.
Dec 10, 2024
Expected to suit up Tuesday
Marshall (illness) is expected to play in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Thunder, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old is expected to return from a four-game absence streak due to an illness, and he should see a sizable role with P.J. Washington (illness) unlikely to suit up. Over his last five outings (three starts), Marshall has averaged 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 25.4 minutes per contest.
Dec 9, 2024
Questionable for Tuesday
Marshall (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing the past four games for Dallas, Marshall is now considered day-to-day and a return Tuesday is on the table. That's good news for Dallas, especially with P.J. Washington iffy due to an illness.
Dec 6, 2024
Out once again
Marshall (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall continues to deal with an illness, and the forward is set to miss a fourth straight contest. His next chance to suit up will come against the Thunder on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
Dec 5, 2024
Won't play against Washington
Marshall (illness) is out for Thursday's game versus the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss his third straight game Friday due to an illness. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Toronto.
Dec 2, 2024
Wont play Tuesday
Marshall (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss a second straight game due to an illness, but Dallas may get Klay Thompson (foot) back in action Tuesday. Marshall's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Washington.
Dec 1, 2024
Ruled out Sunday
Marshall (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Marshall left the first leg of Dallas' back-to-back set early due to an illness during Saturday's win over Utah, in which he contributed three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 13 minutes. The 26-year-old has carved out a significant role with the club this season, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against Memphis.
Dec 1, 2024
Doesn't return in second half
Marshall (illness) didn't return in the second half of Saturday's 106-94 win over the Jazz. He finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), a rebound and an assist across 13 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had been one of the Mavericks' most reliable scoring threats in recent games with Luka Doncic (wrist) sidelined, but he was unable to make an impact in this one while being diminished from a health perspective. It's unclear if the illness will cause Marshall to miss extended time, but for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers in the second leg of a back-to-back set for Utah.
Nov 30, 2024
Questionable to return Saturday
Marshal (illness) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is dealing with an upper respiratory illness, and it's uncertain whether he'll return Saturday. Maxi Kleber was inserted into the Mavericks' starting lineup for the second half due to Marshall's illness.
Nov 28, 2024
Scores team-high 24 points
Marshall provided 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Marshall got another start at small forward due to the absence of Klay Thompson (foot), and the former Xavier standout continues to provide value as a reliable scoring weapon. He's arguably going through his most productive stretch of the season, as he's scored at least 20 points in four straight games while also scoring in double digits in six appearances in a row. Marshall is averaging 20.0 points per game while shooting 47.6 percent from deep in that six-game stretch.
Nov 26, 2024
Efficient in win over Atlanta
Marshall accumulated 22 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Monday's 129-119 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Marshall got the start at small forward due to the absence of Klay Thompson (foot), and he extended the impressive scoring streak he'd been riding in his previous appearances off the bench. Marshall has scored at least 20 points in his last three games, a span in which he's averaging 22.7 points per game while shooting an impressive, yet unsustainable, 66.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Nov 25, 2024
Starting Monday vs. Atlanta
Marshall is in the Mavericks' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will make his fifth start of the regular season Monday, his first since Nov. 12 against the Warriors. Marshall averaged 10.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 27 minutes per game across his four starts.
Nov 24, 2024
Reaches 20 points off bench in loss
Marshall accumulated 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Marshall provided Dallas with another spark off the bench Sunday, connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and concluding as one of three Mavericks with 20 or more points. Marshall has surpassed the 20-point mark in three contests, including in two straight outings.
Nov 23, 2024
Career-best night off bench
Marshall produced 26 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-120 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The 26 points were a career high for Marshall, topping the 24 he recorded a couple seasons ago for the Pelicans -- coincidentally, that performance came against the Mavericks, his current squad. The fifth-year forward is putting together an impressive November overall, scoring in double digits in seven of 10 games and averaging 14.2 points, 3.3 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.3 steals in 26.7 minutes a contest on the month.
Nov 16, 2024
Will play vs. San Antonio
Marshall (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was questionable to play Saturday due to an illness, but the fifth-year forward out of Xavier will be available to play. Since the start of November, he's averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals over 28.1 minutes per game.
Nov 16, 2024
Iffy against San Antonio
Marshall is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is in danger of missing his first game of the season Saturday after being a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. With PJ Washington (knee) doubtful, Maxi Kleber and Olivier-Maxence Prosper could receive increased playing time against San Antonio.
Nov 14, 2024
Productive off bench Thursday
Marshall had 19 points (9-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes in Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was moved to a bench role in favor of Maxi Kleber, but Marshall logged far more minutes and outplayed him on both ends of the court. The former Xavier standout was Dallas' second-best scorer behind Luka Doncic in this one. It wouldn't be surprising if Marshall returns to a starting role for the game against the Spurs on Saturday.
Nov 14, 2024
Won't start Thursday
Marshall is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has been replacing P.J. Washington in the starting lineup in recent games, but the Mavs will shake things up in the frontcourt and Maxi Kleber will get the nod at power forward. Marshall is averaging 11.2 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in six November appearances.
Nov 6, 2024
Modest performance in spot start
Marshall closed with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Marshall moved into the starting lineup Wednesday, replacing P.J. Washington who was ruled out with a knee injury. This game was all over but the shouting heading into the second half, allowing the second and third units to play additional minutes down the stretch. It appears as though Marshall will remain in the starting lineup until Washington gets back on the court. Although his production is typically low-volume, his ability to contribute across multiple categories should keep him on the floor.
Nov 6, 2024
Starting sans Washington
Marshall is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will fill in for P.J. Washington (knee) in the first unit, marking his first start since joining the Mavericks this offseason. Marshall saw a season-high 34 minutes Monday and delivered 20 points, five rebounds, six assists and a steal on 8-of-9 shooting from the field.
Nov 5, 2024
Matches career high with 20 points
Marshall accumulated 20 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 134-127 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall received additional playing time, surpassing the 30-minute mark for the first time this season. The fifth-year pro was only averaging 3.3 points through the first seven games of the season, so his elevated total was unexpected. For now, fantasy managers should consider this line as an outlier performance.
Nov 4, 2024
Records five assists
Marshall closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Sunday's 108-85 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Marshall dished out a season-best mark of five assists in the win. The veteran forward has had a minimal impact in fantasy leagues through six games this season, averaging 3.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 18.5 minutes.
Oct 30, 2024
Snags two steals
Marshall amassed four points (0-3 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 120-114 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had a limited offensive impact Tuesday, although his small-scale versatility is still symbolic of his game. He remains Dallas' top forward off the bench.
Oct 10, 2024
Coming off bench
Marshall isn't starting Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall struggled from the field in Monday's exhibition against Memphis, going 4-for-11 from the field in 21 minutes as a starter. He'll take on a reserve role Thursday with Klay Thompson back in action.
Jun 30, 2024
Signs three-year deal with Dallas
Marshall has agreed to a three-year, $27 million deal with the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has spent all four years of his career with the Pelicans, but he will now be joining the Mavericks who look to gear up for another deep run. The 26-year-old pro averaged 7.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.0 minutes per game across 66 appearances last season. Marshall could hold a sizeable role next year with Derrick Jones hitting free agency.
Apr 30, 2024
Leads bench with 16 points
Marshall recorded 16 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Monday's 97-89 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
Marshall turned in an efficient shooting performance, scoring nine of his 16 points from beyond the arc. He had an inconsistent series at best, as he was held to five points in two of his team's four matchups on the way to being swept.
Apr 14, 2024
Good to go
Marshall (shoulder) is available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Lakers, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was questionable due to a bruised shoulder, but he is feeling good enough to play through it. As a result, the veteran will be available to provide depth at forward if called upon.
Apr 13, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Marshall (shoulder) is questionable to face the Lakers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is a fringe rotation player for the Pelicans these days, averaging 14.8 minutes over his last four appearances with 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
Apr 12, 2024
Won't play against Golden State
Marshall (shoulder) is out for Friday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
After logging just four minutes Thursday, Marshall has been ruled out for the second leg of New Orleans' back-to-back Friday due to a left shoulder contusion. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.
Apr 11, 2024
Good to go Thursday
Marshall (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will be returning from a two-game absence, but there's no word of any restrictions. In his last eight appearances, Marshall averaged 21.5 minutes per contest.
Apr 10, 2024
Questionable for Thursday
Marshall (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has missed the past two games for New Orleans, and that number could hit three Thursday with that game coming as the first of a back-to-back set. If he's out again, there will be more minutes available for Dyson Daniels.
Apr 9, 2024
Unavailable Tuesday
Marshall (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Portland, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall's left shoulder contusion will sideline him Tuesday, while New Orleans' bench is at risk of being thin with Dyson Daniels (knee soreness) getting downgraded to questionable. Marshall's next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday versus Sacramento.
Apr 8, 2024
Considered doubtful for Tuesday
Marshall is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Portland due to a left shoulder contusion.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is at risk of missing his second consecutive contest after exiting Friday's loss to San Antonio upon suffering an in-game shoulder injury. Dyson Daniels and Jose Alvarado would continue seeing an uptick of ballhandling duties in the second unit if Marshall is unavailable Tuesday.
Apr 7, 2024
Downgraded to out
Marshall (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall hurt his right shoulder during Friday's loss to the Spurs and will miss at least one additional contest. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Portland.
Apr 7, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Marshall (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Marshall left Friday's loss to the Spurs early and didn't return after suffering a right shoulder injury. If he's ruled out Sunday, Larry Nance, Jordan Hawkins and Matt Ryan would be candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench versus Phoenix.
Apr 5, 2024
Will not return
Marshall will not return to Friday's game against the spurs due to a right shoulder injury, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
There is no word on the seriousness of Marshall's injury at this point, but it is severe enough to keep him sidelined. The reserve forward's next opportunity to suit up willl come Sunday in Phoenix, but that could be up in the air.
Mar 24, 2024
Leads bench in balanced outing
Marshall had 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes during Sunday's 114-101 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Marshall led all Pelicans bench players in scoring while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing two boards shy of a double-double in a winning effort. Marshall, who also connected on a quartet of threes Sunday, matched his season high in threes made while posting his second game with at least 10 points and eight rebounds.
Mar 17, 2024
Solid performance Saturday
Marshall racked up 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was able to chip in across the board, playing a key role off the bench once again. He has been a top-120 player over the past two weeks, despite averaging just 19.8 minutes per night. While he is not a must-roster player, he is doing just enough to be considered a pickup in deeper formats.
Mar 9, 2024
Records 19 points off bench
Marshall racked up 19 points (7-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Friday's 103-95 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall's scoring output was his highest of the campaign despite the fact that he played fewer minutes than his season average. He accomplished the feat thanks to his red-hot shooting stroke, as he drained all four of his three-point attempts and went 7-for-8 from the field overall. Marshall had scored six points or fewer in five of his previous six games coming into Friday, so there's no need to seek him out on the fantasy waiver wire for the time being.
Feb 25, 2024
Facing one-game suspension
The NBA suspended Marshall on Sunday for one game without pay for instigating and engaging in an on-court altercation during Friday's win over the Pelicans. Marshall will serve his suspension during Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Marshall, Jimmy Butler and Nikola Jovic were all suspended for one game, while Jose Alvarado and Thomas Bryant got three-game suspensions for their involvement in the incident. Marshall's next chance to play will come Tuesday in New York, while Larry Nance and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are candidates for increased roles versus Chicago.
Feb 23, 2024
Ejected Friday
Marshall was ejected from Friday's game against Miami with 11:19 remaining in the fourth quarter.
ANALYSIS
Jimmy Butler approached Marhsall and things quickly escalated, and it appeared as though Marshall put a hand around Butler's neck. That could warrant a suspension, putting his status for Sunday's game against Chicago in jeopardy. Marshall finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block in 14 minutes.
Feb 10, 2024
Will play Saturday
Marshall (back) is available to face the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is set to return to the rotation after a two-game absence due to a back injury, and he should handle his regular playing time off the bench. He's averaging 16.9 minutes, 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game over his last 10 appearances.
Feb 10, 2024
Iffy against Portland
Marshall (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is in danger of missing his third straight game Saturday due to back spasms. If Marshall is ruled out, Dyson Daniels and Herbert Jones are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Feb 9, 2024
Will not play
Marshall (back) will not play in Friday's game against the Lakers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Friday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, but it remains to be seen if Marshall will be able to play Saturday. Trey Murphy and Larry Nance could potentially pick up a handful of minutes in Marshall's absence.
Feb 8, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Marshall (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall missed Wednesday's game and his minutes were divvied up between Trey Murphy and Larry Nance. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Friday night.
Feb 7, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Marhsall (back) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss his first game since Nov. 12 on Wednesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to back spasms. Trey Murphy and Larry Nance are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Marshall's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Lakers.
Feb 6, 2024
Iffy with back spasms
Marshall is questionable for Wednesday against the Clippers due to lower back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Marshall's absence isn't likely to have major fantasy impacts since he's averaged just 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 18.0 minutes over his last two games. However, it would likely result in a few more minutes for players like Larry Nance and Cody Zeller, as well as starters Zion Williamson (foot) and Jonas Valanciunas, assuming Williamson is able to play.
Jan 28, 2024
Subtly effective
Marshall amassed eight points (3-6 FG, 2-6 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes during Saturday's 141-117 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Marshall hasn't exceeded eight points in any of New Orleans past six games, including two scoreless outings, but the 25-year-old is a synergistic presence on both ends. Marshall connecting on a career-best 37.6 percent of 2.3 triples per game is limited volume, but it nonetheless enhances his credibility as a versatile wing.
Jan 15, 2024
Rejoins bench group
Marshall will come off the bench for Monday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans are getting CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy back in the mix after all four of them were held out for rest Saturday against Dallas. Marshall is likely to play a limited role off the bench Saturday with the Pelicans back at full strength.
Jan 13, 2024
Starting against Dallas
Marshall will start Saturday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is likely to see a significant increase in playing time Saturday, as the Pelicans are without Brandon Ingram (Achilles), Zion Williamson (rest), CJ McCollum (ankle) and Trey Murphy (knee) for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Marshall has come off the bench in all 30 of his appearances coming into Saturday's game, and he holds averages of 8.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 three-pointers.
Jan 8, 2024
Productive off bench
Marshall chipped in 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 133-100 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Marshall saw increased run off the bench Sunday with Zion Williamson (quadriceps) and Jose Alvarado (illness) sidelined, crossing the 20-minute mark for just the sixth time since the beginning of December. Now that Trey Murphy is healthy, Marshall's role could be pretty volatile going forward, assuming Williamson is day-to-day.
Dec 22, 2023
Productive off bench
Marshall produced 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-104 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has been an inconsistent contributor for the Pelicans recently, but he had a solid scoring mark during Thursday's matchup despite a somewhat inefficient showing from the floor. The 25-year-old's playing time has fluctuated over the past few matchups, but he's averaged 9.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.
Dec 19, 2023
Good to go against Memphis
Marshall (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday's contest despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. Marshall should continue to be one of New Orleans' primary options at the forward position off the bench.
Dec 19, 2023
Upgraded to probable
Marshall (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has been upgraded from questionable to probable and will likely suit up Tuesday, which is a good sign because Zion Williamson is in danger of missing the contest due to an illness. Over his last 17 appearances, Marshall has averaged 8.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.9 steals in 20.6 minutes per game.
Dec 18, 2023
Questionable for Tuesday
Marshall is questionable for Tuesday's game against Memphis due to a right ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Marshall hasn't missed a game since Nov. 10, but he's dealing with an ankle issue ahead of Tuesday's matchup. The 25-year-old has scored in double figures in two of his last three appearances, averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game.
Dec 14, 2023
Hits for 16 off bench
Marshall closed with 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 142-122 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old forward tied his season scoring high while also matching his career high in assists, taking advantage of the absence of Zion Williamson (ankle). Marshall had scored in single digits in four straight games coming into Wednesday however, and while he's posting the best shooting numbers of his career from long distance with 1.2 threes a night on 42.2 percent shooting, his inconsistent minutes as part of the Pelicans' second unit make him a risky fantasy option.

Sniffs double-double from bench
Marshall racked up 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The box score fails to tell the full story behind Marshall's solid total. Although he initially took the floor to spell Zion Williamson, the Pelicans utilized a hybrid lineup without Herbert Jones until the fourth quarter, where Marshall and Jones shared the court. The variable in this scenario appears to be Dyson Daniels, who has failed to be the answer for CJ McCollum (chest). and the gap in production is one reason for the rotation changes.
Nov 23, 2023
Solid production as reserve
Marshall contributed 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Marshall did a little bit of everything Wednesday, recording his second game with at least one tally in each category. He missed the first nine games of the campaign due to a knee contusion but has been a steady producer for New Orleans' second unit since making his season debut Nov. 12 versus Dallas. Marshall has scored in double figures in four of his past five appearances, averaging 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes per game during that stretch. However, his playing time may take a hit when Trey Murphy (knee) and Matt Ryan (calf) are cleared to return.
Nov 15, 2023
Scores 16 points off bench
Marshall finished Tuesday's 131-110 win over the Mavericks with 16 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
In his second game of the season, Marshall played a prominent bench role, even with Herbert Jones (leg) back in the mix. As long as Trey Murphy (knee) and Larry Nance (ribs) are sidelined, Marshall should have a clear path to consistent playing time. However, fantasy managers shouldn't grow too accustomed to this type of production, as the veteran averaged just 9.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.3 minutes across 77 appearances (21 starts) for the Pelicans last year.
Nov 13, 2023
Solid showing in season debut
Marshall (knee) tallied eight points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 14 minutes in Sunday's 136-124 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Marshall missed the Pelicans' first nine games of the season while recovering from a knee contusion before he was cleared to make his 2023-24 debut Sunday. He was a plus-4 during his limited time on the court and shot efficiently, but Marshall likely won't have a path to a larger share of the minutes at forward unless the already banged-up Pelicans lose more key players to injuries.
Nov 12, 2023
Cleared to play Sunday
Marshall (knee) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Mavericks, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has yet to play during the regular season due to a knee contusion, but he should get minutes Sunday, as the Pelicans remain shorthanded. Across 77 appearances (21 starts) last year, Marshall averaged 9.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.3 minutes per game.
Nov 11, 2023
Upgraded to questionable
Marshall (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has been sidelined since the preseason due to a serious knee contusion. As his return nears, he profiles as a welcome addition to a Pelicans squad that has leaned on rookie Jordan Hawkins and Matt Ryan for heavy minutes.
Nov 10, 2023
Won't play Friday
Marshall (knee) is out for Friday's game versus the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss his ninth straight game to start the season Friday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a knee injury. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Dallas.
Nov 9, 2023
Doubtful Friday
Marshall (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was previously only listed as out, so this is a step in the right direction for him. While fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play, it seems possible, if not likely, that he'll be in the rotation before the end of November.
Oct 30, 2023
Out two more weeks
Marshall (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is allowed to ramp up his rehab activity over the next couple weeks to prepare for a return. Once he gets the green light, the Pelicans may bring him along very slowly and there's no guarantee he'll have a big role with the second unit.
Oct 29, 2023
Still out
Marshall (knee) won't play Monday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Marshall suffered a bone bruise in his right knee during preseason action and is slated for another evaluation soon. However, until that comes, the veteran can be considered doubtful moving forward. After Monday's game, the Pelicans will head to Oklahoma City for a matchup Wednesday.
Oct 15, 2023
Dealing with bone bruise
Marshall (knee) will be reevaluated in two weeks after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Marshall's diagnosis is positive news after being taken to the locker room in a wheelchair Saturday. However, he's set to miss the beginning of the regular season for a Pelicans squad already lacking Trey Murphy (knee) for the opening months of the campaign.
Oct 14, 2023
Suffers knee injury
Marshall was ruled out of Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a right knee injury, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall appeared to have hyperextended his knee, and the Pelicans played it safe and ruled him out. Further tests will be needed to see whether he'll have to miss time, putting his availability for the regular-season opener against the Grizzlies on Oct. 25 in doubt.
Jun 29, 2023
Staying in New Orleans
The Pelicans picked up Marshall's $1.9 million team option for the 2023-24 season Thursday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is set to stay in New Orleans for his fourth straight season to start his career. In 2022-23, the 25-year-old forward averaged 9.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.3 minutes across 77 appearances, including 21 starts. Marshall has improved his field-goal percentage every season of his tenure, landing at 43.3 percent last year.
Mar 28, 2023
Maintains solid production
Marshall finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 19 minutes during Monday's 124-90 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Coming into the contest, Marshall had averaged 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 19.0 minutes per game, and he fell right around those averages Monday. The veteran forward has a consistent role, but his lack of prolific outings limits his overall value in fantasy.
Mar 18, 2023
Scores 13 points in 19 minutes
Marshall amassed 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was moderately productive off the bench Friday, scoring double-digits for just the second time in the past six games. With the return of Brandon Ingram, Marshall has moved back to the second unit, limiting his opportunities. Given what we have seen from Marshall when he is playing a limited role, managers can safely affix their gaze elsewhere for now.
Mar 14, 2023
Rejoins second unit
Marshall will return to the bench Tuesday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Brandon Ingram (ankle) is returning from a two-game absence, but Marshall should still have a sizable role with the second unit. However, his fantasy value takes a big hit with Ingram back in the lineup.
Mar 12, 2023
Solid showing as starter
Marshall supplied 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Saturday's 110-96 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Marshall started Saturday with Brandon Ingram (foot) sidelined and responded well, ending two rebounds shy of a double-double and showing an efficient touch from the field. If Marshall starts Sunday against the Trail Blazers, he might be a decent streaming option. He's averaging 15.3 points per game across 20 starts this season.
Mar 11, 2023
Enters starting lineup
Marshall will move into the starting lineup Saturday against the Thunder, Christian Clark of NOLA News reports.
ANALYSIS
Brandon Ingram (foot) is sitting out Saturday, although coach Willie Green said he could be back Sunday against Portland. Marshall could see a big usage rate bump Saturday and is coming off a strong showing with nine points, six rebounds, six assists and one triple in 25 minutes versus Dallas on Wednesday.
Mar 4, 2023
Scores 14 points off bench
Marshall amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 29 minutes during Friday's 108-99 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Marshall scored in double figures for the first time since a Feb. 5 start. With Jonas Valanciunas (calf), Larry Nance (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) all out, Marshall continues to play a major role in the Pelicans' frontcourt and consistently produces modest numbers, but recently, his fantasy-relevant nights have been too rare to trust him on a regular basis. Over his past 16 appearances, Marshall is averaging 7.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.6 minutes.
Feb 11, 2023
Quiet in 24 minutes
Marshall recorded five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Friday's 118-107 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has been getting extended minutes with the Pelicans since Jan. 25, but the arrival of Josh Richardson certainly will threaten that workload. Marshall was sitting well outside the top-150 in 9-category leagues in his previous seven games, so a lot of his fantasy managers in deeper leagues will probably start looking elsewhere.
Feb 7, 2023
Moves back to bench
Marshall isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will be replaced by Brandon Ingram in the starting lineup Tuesday. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 6.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 19.9 minutes across 31 games coming off the bench this season.
Feb 5, 2023
Balanced performance as starter
Marshall posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Sunday's 136-104 victory over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was one of six Pelicans players in double figures, posting a team-high-tying assist total while finishing third on the team in rebounds. Marshall has recorded at least 15 points and five rebounds in 12 games this season.
Jan 31, 2023
Moves back to bench
Marshall isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will be replaced by Brandon Ingram in the starting lineup Tuesday. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 9.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 29.4 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 29, 2023
Returns to starting lineup
Marshall is starting Sunday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Marshall came off the bench in his last two appearances, but he'll draw the start Sunday with Brandon Ingram (toe) and Dyson Daniels (ankle) sidelined. Marshall has started 17 times this year, averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 34.0 minutes per game over those appearances.
Jan 26, 2023
Gets good minutes in return
Marshall (toe) played 27 minutes and finished with five points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was back in action after a three-game absence, but because his return coincided with Brandon Ingram's (toe) comeback from a two-month hiatus, the former player was unable to reclaim a spot in the starting five. Marshall still saw a healthy workload off the bench, cutting into the playing time of Herbert Jones (26 minutes) and Trey Murphy (20 minutes) in the process. Marshall may be able to maintain a near-25-minute role for the foreseeable future while Zion Williamson (hamstring) faces an uncertain timeline for a return, but look for Marshall's usage to take a hit now that Ingram is back on the fold. Before missing the past three games, Marshall reached double figures in scoring in each of his prior 10 appearances and put up 13.1 field-goal attempts per contest.
Jan 25, 2023
Will play Wednesday
Marshall (toe) is playing but won't start Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The return of Marshall will provide some much-needed depth for New Orleans, and he is set to return to the hardwood following a three-game absence. He won't be in the starting lineup, however, with the Pelicans starting CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas.
Jan 25, 2023
Probable Wednesday
Marshall (toe) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has missed the last three games due to his toe injury, but he'll likely return to the court for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. The Pelicans will likely get another boost against Minnesota, as Brandon Ingram (toe) is probable and expected to play.
Jan 24, 2023
Ruled out Tuesday
Marshall (toe) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Marshall's third straight absence, depleting the team's wing depth considerably since Brandon Ingram (toe) is out as well. Larry Nance should be in line for more minutes with both Marshall and Ingram out, and Marshall's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Timberwolves in the second half of a back-to-back.
Jan 23, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Marshall (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has missed two straight games with toe soreness and managed to participate in about half of Monday's practice. The questionable tag is also an encouraging sign considering he had been listed as doubtful for the Pelicans' last tilt due to the issue. With Brandon Ingram (toe) unlikely to play, Marshall would be in line for another start if he's active.
Jan 23, 2023
Logs limited practice
Marshall (toe) participated in half of Monday's practice ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has missed a pair of contests with soreness in his right toe but was able to take part in portions of Monday's practice. His participation bodes well for a return Tuesday but fantasy managers will have to wait for the Pelicans' official injury report to get a better read on Marshall's status.
Jan 22, 2023
Ruled out
Marshall (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was initially considered doubtful, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for a second straight contest due to right toe soreness. Larry Nance played 27 minutes during Marshall's first absence and figures to see a similar role Sunday, as Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Brandon Ingram (toe) also remain out.
Jan 22, 2023
Game-time call Sunday
Marshall (toe) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Heat, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was considered doubtful to start the weekend, so the fact that he's now a game-time call might mean he's trending in the right direction. He already missed Friday's game with the same toe soreness, however. If Marshall ends up sidelined Sunday, then Larry Nance would likely maintain an expanded role after playing 27 minutes Friday.
Jan 21, 2023
Unlikely to play Sunday
Marshall (toe) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is on track to miss a second straight contest with right toe soreness. If he ends up sidelined Sunday, Larry Nance would likely maintain an expanded role after playing 27 minutes Friday.
Jan 20, 2023
Won't play Friday
Marshall (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is dealing with right great toe soreness that appeared to be bothering him late in Wednesday's loss to Miami, and he'll be forced to miss at least one game. Jaxson Hayes and Larry Nance could see increased run for the Pelicans during Friday's matchup, while Marshall's next chance to return will be Sunday against Miami.
Jan 19, 2023
Deemed questionable Friday
Marshall is questionable for Friday's game against Orlando due to right great toe soreness, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall appeared to be bothered by his foot in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to Miami, but he was able to finish the game. He's started the last eight matchups and has played at least 32 minutes in each of those appearances, but Jaxson Hayes and Larry Nance would likely see expanded roles Friday if Marshall is unavailable.
Jan 19, 2023
Struggles with shooting touch
Marshall closed with 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 124-98 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had a rough night from the field, where he converted on 30.8 percent of his tries. However, he did manage to finish in double figures for his 10th straight game, averaging 16.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists during this stretch.
Jan 14, 2023
Turns in neat shooting line
Marshall closed Friday's 116-110 victory over the Pistons with 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall made the most of his chances by hitting two of three attempts from beyond the arc. He's now hit two triples in each of his last two contests, and he's averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over his last six appearances, all starts.
Jan 12, 2023
Posts another solid showing
Marshall produced 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 125-114 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Marshall scored 18 points for a second consecutive game, and he also turned in a strong night on the boards. He's been putting together a productive month of January to this point, averaging 18.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals through six games (31.7 minutes).
Jan 7, 2023
Excellent once again
Marshall racked up 23 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 108-102 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is making the most of his opportunity with both Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined, and he pushed his streak of games with double-digit points to four while also reaching a new season-high mark in scoring. He's averaging 14.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game across 11 starts this season.
Jan 5, 2023
Sniffs double-double
Marshall recorded 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-108 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was expected to see an increased run with Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined for at least three weeks, and the former Xavier standout responded with one of his best games of the campaign. He's averaging 14.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game as a starter and should remain in that role going forward.
Jan 4, 2023
Starting Wednesday
Marshall will start Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall figures to see an extended stint in the starting five with Zion Williamson (hamstring) slated to miss at least three weeks of action. In nine starts this season, Marshall has averaged 13.9 points and 5.7 rebounds in 33.3 minutes.
Dec 31, 2022
Heads back to bench
Marshall will return to the second unit for Saturday's game in Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Marshall's streak of five consecutive starts will come to an end Saturday with Herbert Jones (conditioning) returning to the first unit. In 24 games off the bench this season, Marshall has averaged 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 19.4 minutes per game.
Dec 27, 2022
Steps up with several players out
Marshall finished with a career-high 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go with six rebounds, four assists and one block across 29 minutes in Monday's 113-93 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
While making his third start in a row, Marshall stepped into a heightened role on offense with the Pelicans down Brandon Ingram (toe), Zion Williamson (rest), Trey Murphy (illness), Herbert Jones (COVID-19 protocols) and Dyson Daniels (illness). He took advantage of the opportunity and now owns respectable averages of 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 26.4 minutes per game over 12 December appearances, but Marshall will likely see his playing time take a hit sooner or later. The Pelicans are expected to get all of Williamson, Murphy and Daniels back in action Wednesday against the Timberwolves, and Ingram and Jones could also be cleared at some point before the new year.
Dec 23, 2022
Balanced showing in start
Marshall chipped in seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Marshall got the start in place of Zion Williamson (COVID protocols), setting his highest minute total since Dec. 15. Marshall has tallied at least five points and five rebounds in eight games this season.
Dec 22, 2022
Starting Thursday
Marshall will join the starting five for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Marshall draws the start in place of Zion Williamson (COVID protocols) and will likely see a massive workload considering Brandon Ingram (toe) and Larry Nance (Achilles) will also be sidelined. He has started four games this season and has averaged 15.5 points across 36.5 minutes per game.
Dec 16, 2022
Nabs four steals in loss
Marshall finished with 13 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four steals, two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes Thursday in the Pelicans' 132-129 overtime loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will likely lose out on some playing time whenever Brandon Ingram (toe) rejoins the lineup, but the 24-year-old has put himself on the fantasy radar in the short term based on his recent run of production. Over his seven appearances in December, he's averaging 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 28.0 minutes per contest while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor. Though he's not a standout in any one area, Marshall's solid across-the-board production could make him a decent back-end roster option in 14-team leagues or deeper if he continues to get around 25 minutes per game.
Dec 11, 2022
Another double-digit showing
Marshall notched 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-124 overtime win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Marshall led the Pelicans bench in scoring and assists, tallying a double-digit scoring total for the third straight game. Marshall has averaged 15.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists over his last three contests.
Dec 7, 2022
Delivers strong scoring performance
Marshall closed Wednesday's 104-98 victory over the Pistons with 17 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall looked sharp following a tough showing Sunday against the Nuggets, finishing with three points and three boards in 24 minutes of action. The Xavier product missed only one attempt from the field during Wednesday's clash and also made his presence known on the defensive end by collecting a season-high two blocks. Marshall is averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists through 22 contests this season.
Dec 2, 2022
Good to go
Marshall (illness) is available for Friday's matchup with the Spurs, Jennifer Hale of Bally Sports New Orleans reports
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Marshall was considered probable heading into the game. He is battling any illness, but it is not severe enough to keep him sidelined.
Dec 1, 2022
Listed probable
Marshall (conditioning) is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has missed the last two games due to illness but is slated to make a return to action Friday. His return comes at a good time for New Orleans considering Brandon Ingram (toe) and Herb Jones (ankle) have already been ruled out for the game.
Dec 1, 2022
Practices Thursday
Marshall (illness) took the floor for practice Thursday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While the injury report released later in the day should provide a more definitive word on Marshall's availability for Friday, his participation in practice would seemingly line him up to rejoin the action. With Brandon Ingram (toe) and Herbert Jones (ankle) both expected to sit versus the Spurs, Marshall could see more minutes than usual if he is feeling up to it.
Nov 30, 2022
Ruled out Wednesday
Marshall (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will sit out a second consecutive game due to return to competition conditioning, and his next chance to return to action will be Friday in San Antonio. His absence should lead to increased playing time for Herbert Jones and Larry Nance.
Nov 29, 2022
Questionable vs. Raptors
Marshall (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall sat out Monday's win over the Thunder. If available, he could see a slightly elevated workload with Brandon Ingram (toe) still out.
Nov 28, 2022
Sidelined Monday
Marshall (illness) will not play in Monday's contest against the Thunder, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports
ANALYSIS
Marshall will miss his first game of the season as he recovers from an illness. The Xavier product's next chance to return to New Orleans' lineup comes Wednesday against the Raptors.
Nov 27, 2022
Questionable for Monday
Marshall (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has played regularly this season for the Pelicans, but he has been unable to log heavy minutes off the bench and is averaging just 20.2 minutes per contest across his last five outings. Even if he is available, Marshall does not figure to have a big impact for the Pelicans.
Nov 5, 2022
Back to the bench Friday
Marshall racked up zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in nine minutes during Friday's 114-105 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was able to put up standard league value over the past week, although the return of both Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones has clearly signaled an end to that. Not only did he shift back to the bench Friday, but he also logged a team-low nine minutes. It was fun while it lasted but for now, he can be safely returned to the waiver wire.
Nov 4, 2022
Will come off bench Friday
Marshall will operate off the bench during Friday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Marshall and Trey Murphy will revert to their usual bench roles with Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Herbert Jones (knee) returning to the starting lineup following four-game absences. In three appearances as a reserve, Marshall has posted 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game.
Oct 29, 2022
Scores career-best 21 points
Marshall closed Friday's 124-111 loss to the Suns with 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall started for the second game in a row with Zion Williamson (hip) sidelined, and just as it happened Tuesday against Dallas, he thrived when given a considerable uptick in minutes while posting a career-best scoring figure. Marshall is worth a flyer while Williamson remains sidelined, but he's expected to move back to the bench sooner than later. It's worth noting that Marshall didn't log more than 15 minutes in any of his three games off the bench, but he surpassed the 30-minute mark in his two contests as a starter, something that also explains the sizable uptick in his overall numbers.
Oct 25, 2022
Productive in starting role Tuesday
Marshall ended Tuesday's 113-111 win over the Mavericks with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, making the most of his opportunity with what was a productive outing. For anyone that managed to stream him in, you have to be feeling pretty good about things given his limited range. As soon as the team is healthy again, Marshall will obviously shift back to a bench role. Until then, he is at least worth considering as a short-term asset.
Oct 25, 2022
Getting start Wednesday
Marshall will start Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is one of three players in a shift change of the starting five with Brandon Ingram (concussion), Zion Williamson (hip) and Herbert Jones (knee) all ruled out. Marshall figures to see expanded run as a result and is coming off of a solid performance against the Jazz, racking up seven points, two steals, a rebound and a block over 13 minutes.
Oct 14, 2022
Continues solid preseason
Marshall tallied 13 points (6-9 FT, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Friday's exhibition against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Marshall saw plenty of opportunities off the bench in this one and put together an efficient evening, contributing across the board. While he has put together an impressive preseason, he'll have his work cut out for him, as he'll have to compete with the likes of Jaxson Hayes, Larry Nance, Dyson Daniels and Trey Murphy just to carve out a bench role.

Well-rounded performance Wednesday
Marshall managed 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's preseason loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has shown upside in his first two years as a well-rounded forward, though his inconsistency as a shooter prevents him from seeing more action. He's performed well this preseason, but his path to minutes is murky. Ahead of him are players like Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson, Larry Nance and even Jaxson Hayes (elbow).
Oct 4, 2022
Starting in preseason opener
Marshall is set to start in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bulls, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall is going into his third year in New Orleans after averaging 5.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals in 13.4 minutes across 55 games last season. The third-year forward is likely to be a bench contributor again this year, but is getting the chance to start with Brandon Ingram (toe) out.
Apr 13, 2022
Coming off bench Wednesday
Marshall will come off the bench for Wednesday's play-in game against the Spurs, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
With Brandon Ingram (hamstring) and Herbert Jones rejoining the starting unit for the play-in tournament, Marshall will shift back to a bench role. The 23-year-old averaged 5.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.4 minutes per game during the regular season.
Apr 10, 2022
Starting Sunday
Marshall will start Sunday's game against the Warriors, Pelicans broadcaster Erin Summers reports.
ANALYSIS
With several Pelicans injured or resting, Marshall will move into the lineup on the wing. In three previous starts this season, he's averaged 12.7 points, 6.7 boards and 3.3 assists in 31.0 minutes.
Mar 21, 2022
Turns in efficient night
Marshall closed Monday's 106-103 loss to Charlotte with 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall finished in double figures for the fourth time in his last six games and did so efficiently, shooting over 50 percent from the field. He has benefitted from a few spot starts of late (three in his last six games), but he should continue to remain firmly in a bench role going forward barring any injuries to the frontcourt.
Mar 21, 2022
Shifts back to bench
Marshall will come off the bench Monday at Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes in a spot start Sunday against the Hawks, but Devonte' Graham (hip) will rejoin the lineup Monday. Marshall should still see plenty of action off the bench, especially with Brandon Ingram (hamstring) still sidelined.
Mar 21, 2022
Modest production in start
Marshall supplied seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 117-112 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Marshall rejoined the starting lineup with Devonte' Graham (hip) sidelined Sunday, but he was the only starter not to score in double figures. Across his last 10 appearances (three starts), the second-year forward has averaged 10.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per game. As long as Brandon Ingram (hamstring) and Graham remain unavailable, Marshall is expected to have a sizable role in the Pelicans' rotation.
Mar 20, 2022
Starting for injured Graham
Marshall is starting Sunday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Marshall came off the bench in each of his last two appearances, but he'll rejoin the starting lineup with Devonte' Graham (hip) sidelined Sunday. Marshall averaged 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 33.0 minutes per game across two starts last weekend.
Mar 15, 2022
Returns to bench with McCollum back
Marshall will come off the bench Tuesday against the Suns, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
CJ McCollum is back following a stint in COVID-19 protocols, so Marshall will return to the bench. He could still see a marginally elevated workload since Brandon Ingram (hamstring) is still out.
Mar 12, 2022
Excels in first start
Marshall racked up 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 142-120 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
With CJ McCollum (COVID-19 protocols) and Brandon Ingram (hamstring) both out, Marshall drew his first start of the season. The second-year pro out of Xavier made the most of his opportunity, as he scored in double figures for just the seventh time during the campaign and dished out a season-high seven assists. He also displayed his defensive instincts, registering at least three steals for a third time this season. As long as the aforementioned duo remains sidelined, Marshall should continue to garner plenty of opportunities.
Mar 11, 2022
Starting Friday
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will get the start due to Brandon Ingram (hamstring) being sidelined. It will be his first start of the season.
Mar 9, 2022
Logs season-high 27 minutes in loss
Marshall closed Tuesday's 132-111 loss to the Grizzlies with 16 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was able to make the most of garbage time Tuesday, scoring in double-digits for the third time in his last four games. On the surface, it does appear he is beginning to carve out a somewhat consistent role in the rotation. However, despite the recent scoring surge, his minutes have fluctuated wildly, ranging from nine minutes in the previous game, all the way up to 27 in this one. For now, he should be viewed as a deeper league target.
Feb 8, 2022
Gets run for shorthanded Pels
Marshall ended Tuesday's 110-97 victory over Houston with 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With the Pelicans shorthanded due to the trade that sent out, notably, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Josh Hart, Marshall found himself in the rotation. He played well against the struggling Rockets, matching his season-high 14 points and filling out the rest of the stat sheet as well. Once the Pels' new pieces are available, Marshall will presumably return to a role not conducive to fantasy relevance.
Jan 24, 2022
Recalled by New Orleans
Marshall was recalled by the Pelicans on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will return to the parent club following a brief stint in the G League. He's averaged just 2.3 points in 3.0 minutes per game across four NBA appearances since Jan. 1.
Dec 31, 2021
Exits protocols
Marshall (COVID-19 protocols) has exited protocols and is off the injury report for Saturday's matchup against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Marshall isn't a regular part of the Pelicans' rotation. His return shouldn't change things.
Dec 23, 2021
Enters protocols
Marshall was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall joins teammate Nickeil Alexander-Walker in protocols as the Pelicans prepare to face the Magic in Orlando on Thursday night. Marshall had not been a part of the rotation in recent weeks, so his absence shouldn't have any major fantasy ramifications.
Nov 20, 2021
Works some magic in limited minutes
Marshall had 14 points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 12 minutes during Saturday's 111-94 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall came into the season as a player to watch, especially given the news Zion Williamson would be out indefinitely with his foot injury. Sadly, things have not panned out as Marshall would have hoped. This was arguably his best performance of the season which certainly says a lot about his lack of production thus far. If and when the Pelicans fall out of the playoff race, he could slide into a more consistent role, and so those in deeper formats should just keep an eye on things as we move beyond the end of the calendar year.
Nov 12, 2021
Available against Nets
Marshall (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will be back in action Friday following a one-game absence due to right knee soreness. He should continue to see increased playing time with Brandon Ingram (hip) unavailable.
Nov 11, 2021
Questionable Friday
Marshall (knee) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Marshall sat out Wednesday due to right knee soreness. Both he and Brandon Ingram (hip) are questionable Friday. If Ingram makes his return, Marshall could see fewer minutes than usual if also available.
Nov 10, 2021
Will not play Wednesday
Marshall (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will sit out Wednesday's matchup due to soreness in his right knee. The 23-year-old has had a subpar start to the season averaging just 3.0 points through 11 games. Herbert Jones, who is returning after a three-game absence, is likely to benefit from Marshall's unavailability. Marshall will have a chance to return Friday against the Nets.
Oct 23, 2021
Early season struggles continue in loss
Marshall failed to score (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), adding just one rebound and one assist in four minutes during Saturday's 96-89 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
With Zion Williamson (foot) sidelined, the hope was that Marshall could step into a larger role to open the season. Unfortunately, those hopes couldn't be further from the truth at this point. There is undeniable talent there but until he can find his footing, anyone still holding onto him can safely move on.
May 17, 2021
Strong finish to campaign
Marshall finished Sunday's loss to the Lakers with 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and a steal over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Marshall did mar his stat line a bit with seven turnovers, but it was still a strong performance by the rookie forward. His 18 points were only two below his career high and he drained a career-best four three-pointers while tying a career high with seven assists. Over his final four games, Marshall impressed with per-game averages of 15.5 points, 9.0 boards, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals.
May 15, 2021
Matches career high with 20 points
Marshall registered 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 125-122 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has now scored double-digit points in four straight games, a span in which he's averaging 14.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.9 minutes. Marshall has started and played well over his last five games in place of Brandon Ingram (ankle), which are trends that should continue as long as the latter remains out of the lineup. The rookie out of Xavier will look to keep up his productive play Sunday at home against the Lakers.
May 11, 2021
Records double-double in loss
Marshall totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block in a 115-110 loss to the Grizzlies on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had a solid all-around performance and recorded the second double-double of his career. The forward has taken advantage of an increased role on offense, scoring in double figures in four of his last five contests. Over that span, Marshall has averaged 10.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
May 7, 2021
Starting vs. 76ers
Marshall will start Friday's contest against the 76ers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Brandon Ingram (ankle) sidelined, Marshall will make his fifth start of the season. In his previous four starts, he averaged 9.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes.
May 6, 2021
Agrees to three-year deal
Marshall has agreed to a three-year, $5.3 million contract, with the rest of this season and next season fully guaranteed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie had previously been on a two-way contract. He started seeing regular playing time in early April, and he's become a legitimate part of the Pelicans' rotation. He's appeared in 19 straight games and has averaged 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.7 minutes.
May 5, 2021
Nears double-double
Marshall posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal Tuesday in a 108-103 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had an exceptional performance Tuesday, notching two impactful offensive rebounds along with a key steal. The forward has struggled shooting from the floor since being given more minutes early in April, averaging 6.8 field goals attempted while only making 2.6 per game. Expect the forward's minutes to remain constant for the rest of the season as the Pelicans look to analyze what skills the 23-year-old possesses.
Apr 21, 2021
Strong output off bench
Marshall had 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-6 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's loss against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old rookie continues to impress and while he struggled with his shot in this one, he still finished as one of the team's highest scorers while also pacing the team in dimes. Marshall, who recorded his first double-double on April 16 at Washington, has been extremely productive of late and has scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances, steadily carving a decent role as a bench weapon for New Orleans.
Apr 17, 2021
First career double-double
Marshall scored 16 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes off the bench during Friday's loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old rookie recorded his first career double-double as he continues to see a significant role for the Pels. Over nine games and four starts in April, Marshall has averaged 27.3 minutes a game, but his 9.1 points, 5.8 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 threes over that stretch marks him as more of a DFS tournament play than a reliable asset in season-long formats.
Apr 16, 2021
Coming off bench
Marshall will come off the bench Friday against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
With Lonzo Ball (hip) returning to the starting five, Marshall will resume his usual bench role. As a reserve this season, he's averaged 2.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 10.8 minutes.
Apr 14, 2021
Rejoins starting five
Marshall will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old came off the bench Monday but will start for the third time in the past four games Wednesday. Marshall is averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.0 minutes across three starts this season.
Apr 12, 2021
Heads to bench
Marshall will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Kings, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had started the last two games, but he was sent back to the bench as Wes Iwundu moved into the starting lineup. In his last five games, Marshall has averaged 8.2 points on 35.5 percent shooting, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 25.7 minutes per game.
Apr 11, 2021
Scores career-high 15 points
Marshall posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has now started two games in a row with Lonzo Ball (hip) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (ankle) unavailable. On top of scoring a career high in points, Marshall contributed both a steal and block in the same game for the first time in his young career. Until Ball and Walker return to the lineup, feel free to stream the rookie if you're a deep-league fantasy manager in need of low-end points, rebounds and steals.
Apr 9, 2021
Starting against Philadelphia
Marshall is starting Friday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Marshall had retreated to the bench in the last three contests, but he'll serve as a starter Friday with Lonzo Ball (hip) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (ankle) unavailable. In his past three appearances, Marshall has averaged 8.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game.
Apr 7, 2021
Teases double-double Tuesday
Marshall scored eight points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT) while adding nine rebounds, three assists and a block in 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Despite a poor shooting night, the 23-year-old rookie still came within a bucket and a board of his first career double-double. Marshall has seen a significant role over the last three games while Brandon Ingram (toe) has been sidelined, averaging 9.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 threes in 27.3 minutes including one start, and he seems to have moved ahead of Wes Iwundu in New Orleans' forward rotation.
Apr 4, 2021
Moving back to bench
Marshall will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After making a spot start Friday against Atlanta, Marshall will head back to the bench, as the Pelicans go with both Steven Adams and Jaxson Hayes up front while James Johnson gets the start on the wing. In a season-high 30 minutes Friday, Marshall finished with nine points, five boards, three steals and one assist.
Apr 3, 2021
Steals three in loss
Marshall tallied nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three steals and one assist in 30 minutes during Friday's loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old made a decent impression in his first career start in place of Brandon Ingram (toe). Marshall had not played more than four minutes before receiving 30 minutes on Friday. The rookie out of Xavier has a chance to carve out a consistent role off the bench with Josh Hart (thumb) expected to miss a significant amount of time. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should keep an eye on Marshall to see if he can keep it going Sunday on the road against the Rockets.
Apr 2, 2021
Draws first start
Marshall will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Hawks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Marshall will replace Brandon Ingram (toe) in the starting lineup, which will mark the first start of his career. He has not played more than four minutes since joining the team, so this will be his first real opportunity to make an impression. With Josh Hart (thumb) expected to miss a significant amount of time, the rookie could have a chance to earn a role off the bench in the immediate future.
Feb 6, 2021
Not on injury report
Marshall (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was probable Friday, but he didn't appear in the contest. Although he'll be able to suit up against Memphis on Saturday, he isn't guaranteed to see playing time.
Feb 5, 2021
Probable Friday
Marshall (ankle) was upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old was originally considered questionable for Friday's contest, but he's now on track to be available. Marshall isn't expected to see much playing time regardless.
Feb 4, 2021
Questionable again
Marshall (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Marshall has been dealing with a left ankle sprain that has prevented him from suiting up over the last three games. Even if he's available Friday, he's unlikely to see much playing time.
Feb 2, 2021
Questionable Wednesday
Marshall (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old missed the last two games with a left ankle sprain, but he could be available for Wednesday's contest. Marshall is unlikely to see much playing time, even if he is cleared for action.
Feb 1, 2021
Out as expected
Marshall (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Marshall was listed as doubtful heading into Monday, so this announcement comes as no surprise. His next chance to return comes Wednesday against Phoenix.
Jan 31, 2021
Unlikely to return Monday
Marshall (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Marshall missed Saturday's game due to a sprained left ankle, and he's unlikely to play once again Sunday. His absence wouldn't have much of an impact on coach Stan Van Gundy's rotation.
Jan 30, 2021
Out with sprained ankle
Marshall is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Marshall isn't a regular part of coach Stan Van Gundy's rotation, so his absence won't change much for the Pelicans.
