Washington will be back after a one-game absence, which means he will push Naji Marshall back to the bench. However, with Anthony Davis questionable, Marshall will have a chance to remain a starter even with Washington back.
Martin should be good to go on the first leg of the Mavericks' back-to-back. He'll continue to play a role off the bench, but he hasn't been able to contribute much value in the box score. With PJ Washington back, that certainly won't change on Friday.
Marshall has made quite a few starts this year with all the injuries the Mavericks have dealt with. He got another start Wednesday with PJ Washington (illness) out. The 27-year-old small forward wasn't nearly as effective in this game as prior starts as he scored just six points on six field goal attempts in 35 minutes. Marshall dished out eight assists, though. He'll continue to have value in deeper formats when inserted into the starting lineup.
The Mavericks have made two changes to their starting lineup for Wednesday's game. Marshall is starting for PJ Washington, who is unavailable due to illness. The other change is Lively, who will start his first game back from a stress fracture in his ankle. While limited to 15 minutes, he will replace Daniel Gafford in the starting five.
Washington missed multiple games with an ankle injury last week and is now set to miss Wednesday's game with an illness. With he 26-year-old power forward out, Naji Marshall could move into the starting lineup and would be worth streaming in deeper formats.
