— HOLD

The pre-game emergency scare didn't eventuate — Marshall played and scored 87, above his 69 BE and extending what is now a dominant form run since R6. His season average of 40 is a cruel artefact of the early-season disasters; in reality he has been scoring like a premium ruckman for five weeks straight. The body is the risk, not the output. Hold if you have him; if he's on your radar as a buy, treat him as a physical question mark and act accordingly. Do not trade out after an 87 in a week he was already a fitness doubt.
