Naji Marshall Last 10 Games
Naji Marshall News
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Naji Marshall (shoulder) will be welcomed back into the lineup on Thursday versus Sacramento. He's recovered from a shoulder problem that kept him sidelined for a couple of games. Marshall is typically one of the first guys off the bench, and New Orleans is going to need his presence in a situation where Brandon Ingram (knee) remains absent and Larry Nance Jr. (personal) can't play. However, Marshall isn't a very attractive piece fantasy-wise. He's averaging 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 19.3 minutes for the season.
New Orleans Pelicans forward/guard Naji Marshall (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Marshall has missed the last two games with his shoulder limiting him on the court and further weakening New Orleans' depth. Brandon Ingram missing 11 straight games allowed Marshall to get extra minutes to contribute more before being forced out with shoulder issues. The Pelicans have incentive to keep Marshall out on Thursday in the first half of a back-to-back. Dyson Daniels and Larry Nance Jr. will benefit from more playing time if Marshall misses another game.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's expected to continue missing time due to a lingering right shoulder issue. The absence of Marshall should mean increased playing time for Larry Nance Jr. in the rotation. He played 32 minutes during their last game but normally plays minutes in the low 20s. He could be a possible dart throw in DFS contests for Tuesday's slate.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall will serve a one-game suspension for his involvement in Friday's scuffle with several players of the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 46 games this season, all down from the 2022-23 campaign. As a result, his absence won't impact many fantasy managers, especially if Zion Williamson (foot) and Brandon Ingram (illness) are active for Sunday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
