Mavericks' Naji Marshall: 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.

Marshall continues to play a sizeable role for the Mavericks, scoring double-digit points 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 his past eight games, Marshall is averaging 18.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.
