Jason Kidd's sudden change to the starting lineup has given the Mavericks some much-needed juice, and Naji Marshall is at the center of it all.

This was a freak injury, and while Marshall starting made sense to fans for the four games that Washington missed, he continued to start even once Washington returned.
