Marshall supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Marshall's season-high three blocks weren't enough to help Dallas avoid elimination from playoff contention. After spending the first four seasons of his career in New Orleans, the 27-year-old forward enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024-25 with the Mavericks. Across Marshall's 69 regular-season appearances, including 31 starts, he averaged 13.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 10 steals in 27.8 minutes.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

Marshall is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE 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.

Marshall is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

Marshall is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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. However, if Marshall can maintain a role with minutes in the mid-20s, he could still offer late-round fantasy appeal.

Marshall is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Bulls on Saturday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marshall will retreat to the bench Saturday due to P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis both returning to action. 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.

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.
EDGE 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.
