Naji Marshall (illness) will not be able to return to action for Dallas in the second game of their back-to-back on Thursday night against the Thunder. Marshall had played 30+ minutes in three straight games before missing Wednesday's contest with an illness. The Mavs were short-handed on the wing since
Klay Thompson (ankle) was also out and will miss Thursday's game as well. Without Marshall and Thompson,
Quentin Grimes and
Olivier-Maxence Prosper will get plenty of work against the Thunder. Grimes only had five points, four rebounds, and three assists despite playing 36 minutes Wednesday while Prosper had four points and four boards in 25 minutes.

Naji Marshall (illness) is not available against Minnesota on Wednesday. He is forced to sit out the first leg of a back-to-back due to an illness. Marshall carried a questionable tag initially, so there's a chance he may hop back into the lineup on Thursday against Oklahoma City. The Mavericks are once again down to bare bones, meaning
Kyrie Irving,
Spencer Dinwiddie, and
P.J. Washington will have a lot of work to do on the offensive end.
Quentin Grimes (back), who is returning from a one-game absence, will likely be heavily involved right off the bat, with
Olivier-Maxence Prosper seeing extra action in the rotation.

Naji Marshall has been suspended four games without pay, the league announced on Saturday. Marshall, along with
P.J. Washington, was involved in a physical altercation with Suns center
Jusuf Nurkic during Friday's meeting between the clubs, resulting in all three players getting ejected. The Mavs are down
Luka Doncic (calf) for at least the next month, and Washington will miss one game, meaning
Spencer Dinwiddie and
Quentin Grimes may find themselves in the starting lineup, giving both players some streaming value in all fantasy lineups.

Naji Marshall (illness) will play in Tuesday's game against OKC. He was under the weather, keeping him off the floor for the Mavs' previous four contests. But Marshall's return comes at the perfect time, with
P.J. Washington (illness) and
Maxi Kleber (illness) sidelined for Tuesday's meeting with the Thunder. The 26-year-old has played well in his first season in Dallas, averaging a career-high 11.6 points and 1.0 steals. Marshall will likely start, so there's a good chance he'll be even more productive.
