In the NBA regular season, the Mavericks defeated the Wizards 111-105 on the road.
In this campaign, Najib Marshall played 31 minutes as a substitute, making 9 of 14 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, and scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.
Basketball commentator Duan Ran wrote in an article: "The Mavericks, who were riddled with injuries, finally struggled to win their third win of the season. It was not easy. Marshall, like he did in the second half of last season, began to carry the Mavericks forward again."
