Marshall was outstanding during the first half of Tuesday's game, making the Knicks pay regardless of who was guarding him. The Mavericks forward shot 13-of-15 from the field and scored 28 points. Marshall's 13 field goals tied him for the most in a half against the Knicks with LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Kobe Bryant. Naji would finish with a career-high 38 on 68 percent shooting from the field. Marshall will likely return to the bench on Thursday in Orlando since Anthony Davis (groin) will be available. However, given the current state of the Mavericks' roster, he needs to be held in 12-team leagues.
The Mavericks are without PJ Washington and Anthony Davis, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. While Marshall has been worth rostering in standard leagues whether he starts or comes off the bench, that has not been the case for Edwards. Also, with this being the 50th game Edwards has been active for this season, this may be his last appearance in a Mavericks uniform unless he's given a standard contract.
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Washington's absence should mean increased playing time for Naji Marshall. Williams should see meaningful minutes and is worth streaming if you need him. He's averaged 16.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists across 26.9 minutes over his last eight games, including two starts.
Davis is out after returning for one game against the Nets while Martin is set to miss his sixth straight game. Naji Marshall has a clear path to start and ramp up his minutes against the Knicks on Tuesday with both these forwards out of commission.
