Naji Marshall led the Mavericks with 36 points (14-of-23 FGs, 7-of-11 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in a 130-121 loss to the Kings on Thursday.
Marshall has been an excellent source of offense over the last two seasons for Dallas, but this was one of his best. He has seven 30-point games in his career, all coming over the past calendar year, including five this season. He fell two points shy of matching his career high in this one. As long as he’s healthy and available, he’ll continue to pour in the stats for the Mavs.
