Naji Marshall scored 15 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3PT, 5-6 FT) to go along with three assists and three steals in the Mavericks 132-91 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact: Marshall remains off the fantasy radar in his current reserve role. He is worth streaming when he sees a spot start.

Dereck Lively II scored 5 points to go along with two rebounds, a steal, and four blocks in the Mavericks' 115-113 loss to the Jazz on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact: Lively only played 17 minutes in this contest, still getting the rust off after nearly ten days off due to injury. He's still a great center and a pivotal piece for the Mavericks, so the best course right now is to stash him and wait until he gets back into his groove.

The Mavericks have traded Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round picks to Detroit for Quentin Grimes. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hardaway had been linked to the Pistons earlier in the offseason. If he stays in Detroit, he should earn a bigger role after he was mostly out of the Mavericks rotation throughout the NBA Finals. This move allows Dallas to offer a significant part of the $12.9 million nontaxpayer midlevel exception to Derrick Jones Jr.

Fantasy Impact: Jones was a starter throughout the playoffs and fit in nicely alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. “I don’t know how we’re going to do it,” Harrison said. “But he’s priority 1-A (and) 1-B. I think he fits in with our team. He loves it here. We have to figure out the dynamics to get him to stay. But yeah, that’s a priority. We’ll do what we have to do to get it done.”
