As the Mavericks gear up to face the Cavaliers at home, all eyes should be on Naji Marshall, especially when it comes to his assist numbers. Marshall has been on a tear lately, averaging 5.6 assists in his last five home games. It's no coincidence that he's been a playmaker in Dallas' high-octane offense.
