Mavericks vs. Lakers

While the Mavericks play at a top-10 pace, we expect Marshall to stay under this total as he is currently hampered by a left foot strain and is projected to return to a bench role. With Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving, and Cooper Flagg all officially ruled out for tonight, Marshall will face the full weight of a Lakers defense that can now focus exclusively on neutralizing him as the primary remaining threat in a low-assist offense.
