Questionable to play Sunday
Martin is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right hip strain.
ANALYSIS
Martin logged 21 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Raptors, tallying eight points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals. The questionable tag suggests a decision on the status of the former Nevada standout will be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff, though even if he's available, he should hover around 20 to 25 minutes off the bench, limiting his upside considerably either way.
Apr 5, 2025
Playing vs. Los Angeles
Martin (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Martin was initially listed as probable for this matchup Saturday, so it's not surprising to see him available. It's worth noting that Anthony Davis (groin), Dereck Lively (ankle), P.J. Washington (ankle) and Naji Marshall are available for this contest, so Martin will probably be limited to a bench role, limiting his upside in most fantasy formats considerably.

Likely to play against LAC
Martin (hip) has been listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Cleared to play Monday
Martin (hip) is available for Monday's game against Brooklyn, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Mar 26, 2025
Questionable for Thursday
Martin (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed five games in a row due to a right hip strain, and while the questionable tag sheds some light on his potential availability, a decision on his status will be made closer to Thursday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. He's been limited to just five appearances since the All-Star break, so he doesn't have a lot of fantasy upside regardless of the format of your league.
Mar 25, 2025

ANALYSIS
Martin will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right hip strain, and the veteran forward remains without a timetable. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Magic.

ANALYSIS

Mar 15, 2025
Questionable to face Philly
Martin is questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a left hip strain.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been playing under a minutes restriction, so the questionable tag suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to tipoff. Martin is averaging 8.4 points, 4.1 boards and 2.2 assists per game this season.
Mar 14, 2025
Still facing minutes restriction
Martin will remain on a minutes restriction in Friday's game against Houston, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't eclipsed 20 minutes in any of his four appearances for the Mavericks, so fantasy managers should expect a similar workload Friday. During this period, the veteran swingman has averaged 3.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in 18.0 minutes as he works his way back from an extended absence with a hip strain.
Mar 13, 2025
Limited role continues
Martin had seven points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 126-116 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to play limited minutes off the bench despite the fact the Mavericks are well down on troops. Having played four games since returning from injury, Martin is averaging just 3.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 18.1 minutes per contest.
Mar 9, 2025
Available Sunday
Martin (hip) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Martin will suit up for his second consecutive outing, shaking off a questionable tag as the club manages his playing time after a 25-game absence due to a right hip strain. The 29-year-old was limited to 14 minutes during his Mavericks debut in Friday's loss to Memphis, and he posted two points (1-1 FG), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. It wouldn't come as a surprise if Martin is held out of the second half of the club's back-to-back set against the Spurs on Monday.
Mar 8, 2025
Iffy against Phoenix
Martin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Suns due to a right hip strain.
ANALYSIS
Martin made his Dallas debut Friday after missing 25 straight games due to a hip injury. However, the Mavericks could opt to hold Martin out on the first leg of a back-to-back Sunday.
Mar 8, 2025
Plays 14 minutes in debut
Martin (hip) recorded two points (1-1 FG), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 14 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 122-111 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Before getting the green light to suit up Friday in what was his Dallas debut, Martin hadn't played since Jan. 10, when he made his final appearance as a member of the 76ers before being shut down with a right hip strain. Since he had missed nearly two months of action, Martin was operating under a 15-minute restriction Friday, but he'll likely see his playing time pick up in the games to come while Dallas is shorthanded in the frontcourt. Martin will probably need to move into a 25-plus-minute role before he warrants consideration as a pickup in 12-team leagues.
Mar 7, 2025
Will make Dallas debut Friday
Head coach Jason Kidd said that Martin (hip) will make his Mavericks debut against the Grizzlies on Friday and is expected to play around 15 minutes, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't suited up since Jan. 10 due to the right hip strain, though he'll make his Dallas debut after the club acquired him via trade from the 76ers on Feb. 4. The 29-year-old will operate under a restriction of around 15 minutes after missing his last 25 outings, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. However, Martin is likely to receive a significant role when he works his way back into playing form, as the club is extremely thin in the frontcourt.
Mar 7, 2025
On track to return Friday
Martin (hip) is on course to return from his hip injury Friday against the Grizzlies, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed 25 consecutive games with a hip issue and has yet to make his debut with the Mavericks since being traded to Dallas last month. Prior to suffering the injury, the veteran averaged 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game for the 76ers.
Mar 6, 2025
Iffy for Friday
Martin (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against Memphis, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't suited up since Jan. 10 due to the right hip strain. However, the 29-year-old's questionable tag suggests that he is nearing a return to game action, as he was listed as doubtful before Wednesday's loss to the Bucks. Martin will likely operate under a minutes restriction whenever he returns.
Mar 5, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Martin (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Martin has not played a game for the Mavericks since being traded to the team last month. Although the veteran guard appears to be ramping up for a return as he practiced with the G League Texas Legends on Tuesday, it remains uncertain when he'll suit for Dallas for the first time. The 29-year-old's next opportunity to make his debut with his new team is Friday against the Grizzlies.
Mar 4, 2025
Recalled from G League
The Mavericks recalled Martin (hip), who is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, from the G League's Texas Legends on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS

Mar 4, 2025
Unlikely to play Wednesday
Martin (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't played since Jan. 10 due to a right hip strain and still hasn't made his Mavericks debut since being acquired ahead of the trade deadline. However, the veteran recently took another step forward in his rehab by going through a practice with the G League squad and is nearing a return to game action. If he's downgraded to out as expected, his next chance to suit up will come Friday against Memphis.
Mar 4, 2025
Assigned to G League
Dallas assigned Martin to the G League's Texas Legends on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Martin has yet to debut for the Mavericks since being acquired via trade, but this is a step in the right direction for the veteran. With Kyrie Irving (knee) ruled out for the season, Martin could potentially step into a large role for Dallas once he gets the green light.

Feb 28, 2025
Won't play Saturday

Feb 26, 2025
Remains out for Thursday
Martin (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Feb 24, 2025
Not playing Tuesday
Martin (hip) is out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS

Feb 20, 2025
Out for Friday
Martin (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
It was announced Feb. 6 that the Mavericks were optimistic Martin would return to action in 2-to-3 weeks, but the veteran swingman remains out with a strained hip. His next chance to make his team debut comes Sunday against the Pelicans. Naji Marshall and Kessler Edwards should be able to maintain meaningful roles in the meantime.
Feb 6, 2025
Hopeful to return in 2-3 weeks
The Mavericks are optimistic that Martin (hip) will return to action in 2-3 weeks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was shipped from the 76ers to the Mavericks ahead of the trade deadline but a physical done by Dallas revealed that the 29-year-old forward will likely be sidelined for an extended period. Martin hasn't played since Jan. 10 due to his right hip strain but it appears that Mavericks are optimistic that he can return to action following the All-Star break.
Feb 6, 2025
Target date for debut unclear
A specific timetable for Martin's Mavericks debut has not yet been established despite Dallas not having long-term concerns about his right hip strain, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't played since Jan. 10 due to a right hip sprain but was traded from Philadelphia to Dallas in exchange for Quentin Grimes on Tuesday. While the Mavericks reportedly don't expect the 29-year-old forward to be sidelined long-term, the 76ers did add an additional second-round pick to the trade package after Martin underwent his physical. This could indicate that he will be headed for a lengthier absence than initially believed.
Feb 5, 2025
Out again Thursday
Martin (trade pending) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus Boston.
ANALYSIS
Martin, who was just acquired from the 76ers on Tuesday, will have to wait until Saturday against Houston for his debut. With Martin sidelined for a second straight game, the Mavericks will likely lean heavily on Max Christie and Naji Marshall.
Feb 4, 2025
Listed as out Tuesday
Martin (recently traded) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
After being traded to Mavericks on Tuesday, Martin is listed as out while the trade becomes finalized. The veteran swingman was initially listed as questionable due to a hip injury, so it's unclear if he's still dealing with the issue. With Martin sidelined and Quentin Grimes on the move, Spencer Dinwiddie and Max Christie are primed for significant roles in Dallas' rotation against Philadelphia.
Feb 4, 2025
Traded to Dallas
Martin was traded to the Mavericks on Tuesday in exchange for Quentin Grimes and a 2025 second-round pick, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin's name was in the rumor mill quite a bit and he had a sizable market, so this isn't a huge surprise. The Mavericks are actually set to face the 76ers in Philadelphia on Tuesday, but it's unclear if Martin will be cleared in time to suit up -- the NBA will need to finalize the trade and Martin is also listed as questionable with a hip injury. Martin figures to play a key role on the wings in Dallas once he gets the green light and holds season averages of 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals through 31 appearances.
Feb 3, 2025
Questionable against Dallas
Martin (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been sidelined by a hip injury since Jan. 10, but he'll have a shot to return to Philadelphia's lineup Tuesday after practicing Monday. If the veteran swingman cannot play against Dallas, Justin Edwards and Ricky Council would continue playing meaningful roles for the 76ers.
Feb 3, 2025
Practices Monday
Martin (hip) was able to practice Monday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin, who has been sidelined since Jan. 10, continues to trend in the right direction. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics before eventually being ruled out, so he can be considered day-to-day going forward.

ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't played since Jan. 10, but it appears he's nearing a return after initially being listed as questionable for Sunday's game. With Paul George (finger) and Eric Gordon (knee) also out, Justin Edwards and Ricky Council are candidates for increased roles.
Feb 1, 2025
Questionable for Sunday

Philadelphia is dealing with injuries, with notable players Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (finger) and KJ Martin (foot) already ruled out for this matchup against Boston.

Jan 30, 2025
Won't play against Denver

ANALYSIS
Martin will miss an 11th straight game Friday against the Nuggets. Philadelphia continues to deal with several injuries to key players, with Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (finger), Andre Drummond (toe) and KJ Martin (foot) ruled out for this game against Denver. Head coach Nick Nurse will continue to turn to other options on his roster, like Eric Gordon, Kelly Oubre, Justin Edwards and Guerschon Yabusele, to shoulder the load for this team riddled with injuries.
Jan 29, 2025
Ruled out Wednesday
Martin (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Jan 29, 2025

Jan 27, 2025
Won't return Tuesday
Martin (hip) will not be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS

Jan 27, 2025
Turns in full practice
Martin (hip) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been sidelined for the 76ers' past eight games with a right hip sprain, but his ability to turn in a full practice could have him trending toward paying in the team's next contest Tuesday versus the Lakers.

Martin (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was unable to play in Sunday's 104-99 loss to the Magic due to right groin soreness, and it puts him in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's contest. Martin was in the 76ers' starting lineup for the nine games prior to his injury, and over that span he averaged 9.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks over 34.0 minutes per game while shooting 53.6 percent from three on 3.1 attempts per game.
Jan 12, 2025
Won't go Sunday
Martin (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was a late addition to the injury report before having been eventually ruled out due to right groin soreness. With the forward joining Joel Embiid (foot/nose) and KJ Martin (hip) on the sideline, Ricky Council and Eric Gordon are candidates for increased roles.
Jan 12, 2025
Late addition to injury report
Martin is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
Martin is a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign, but he'll be a game-time decision. With KJ Martin (hip) already out, Ricky Council may slide into the rotation if Caleb is also sidelined.
Jan 5, 2025
Efficient 17 in win
Martin dropped 17 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT) to go with four boards, three assists, a steal and a block in 25 minutes of play during Saturday's win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Martin bounced back after a weak showing Thursday, putting together a solid night on both ends as a starter. It's been an up-and-down season for the veteran wing, as he's struggled to maintain a consistent role in head coach Nick Nurse's offense alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George. His next chance to take the court will come Monday against the Suns.
Jan 2, 2025
Solid all-around performance
Martin accumulated 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Martin had his best all-around performance as a starter in the last four games in the loss to the Kings. He hasn't played great as of late, but this could be a sign he might be turning things around on both ends of the floor. Martin is averaging 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season for the 76ers.
Dec 26, 2024
Helps pick up slack Wednesday
Martin ended Wednesday's 118-114 victory over the Celtics with 23 points (8-11 FG, 7-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin stepped up for the 76ers on Wednesday, scoring a season-high 23 points on a day where swingmen Paul George and Kelly Oubre put up a combined 16 points. Martin made his 16th start of the season in the win, and he's now averaging 10.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 32.1 minutes as a member of Philadelphia's first unit this season. The 29-year-old wing may not vastly help fantasy managers in any one particular area, but he can offer a modest boost across the board in deeper leagues when he gets to ride with the starting lineup.
Dec 22, 2024
Receives 29 minutes in return
Martin (shoulder) logged eight points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes in Saturday's 126-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Before he missed the 76ers' previous three contests with a right shoulder impingement, Martin hadn't logged more than 25 minutes in any of his prior five appearances, but he received a healthy workload in his return. With Jared McCain (knee) out indefinitely, Martin looks like he could have a window to regain meaningful playing time, though he'll have to raise his performance in order to earn the extra minutes. He's struggled during his first season in Philadelphia, shooting just 39.9 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three-point range through 21 games.
Dec 21, 2024
Getting green light vs. Cavs
Martin (shoulder) isn't listed on the team's injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed Philly's last three matchups due to a shoulder injury but will be ready to go for Saturday's clash. He's averaging 4.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists through four December appearances, all off the bench.
Dec 19, 2024
Another absence coming
Martin (shoulder) is out for Friday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss his third straight contest Friday due to a pinched nerve in his right shoulder. Martin's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Cleveland.
Dec 15, 2024
Remains out
Martin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin is day-to-day but will miss a second straight contest due to a shoulder injury. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in a rematch against Charlotte. In his absence, KJ Martin and Ricky Council are candidates for increased roles.
Dec 13, 2024
Deemed day-to-day
Martin (shoulder) has begun on-court work and is considered day-to-day moving forward, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has already been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a shoulder impingement. However, it appears Martin has avoided a serious injury, and his status for Monday's matchup with Charlotte has yet to be determined.
Dec 12, 2024
Won't play Friday
Martin is out for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a right shoulder impingement.
ANALYSIS
Martin's absence will likely open up more minutes for Ricky Council, Eric Gordon and KJ Martin. Martin's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Charlotte.
Dec 9, 2024
Plays just 13 minutes
Martin closed Sunday's 108-100 win over the Bulls with two rebounds across 13 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers were back to full strength Sunday, something that's rarely been said this season. Martin's role took a big hit as a result, and this comes on the heels of the forward seeing just eight minutes against Orlando the game prior. He's a tough sell in fantasy formats when the 76ers are mostly healthy.
Dec 3, 2024
Good to go Tuesday
Martin (back) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin will suit up after missing the club's last two outings due to a back injury. However, the 29-year-old will come off the bench with KJ Martin slotting into the starting five. In his last five outings, Martin averaged 6.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks across 27.4 minutes per game.
Dec 2, 2024
Probable for Tuesday
Martin (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
After missing two straight games due to a back injury, Martin is expected to suit up Tuesday. He's started 15 of his 16 appearances this season and will likely maintain a sizable role against Charlotte, as Joel Embiid (knee/personal) remains sidelined. Martin is averaging 9.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks in 31.7 minutes per game as a starter this season.
Nov 30, 2024
Won't play Saturday vs. Detroit
Martin (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss a second straight game due to a back injury, though he'll have some additional time to recover for the 76ers' following contest against the Hornets on Tuesday. If Paul George (knee) were also to miss Saturday's game, then Kelly Oubre and Andrew Drummond would likely join the 76ers' starting five alongside Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain and Guerschon Yabusele.
Nov 29, 2024
Iffy for Saturday
Martin (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Martin is in danger of missing his second straight Saturday due to a back injury but was able to partially participate in Friday's practice. If Martin is unable to suit up against Detroit, Ricky Council will likely receive increased playing time.
Nov 29, 2024
Limited in practice
Martin (back) partially participated in Friday's practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed Philadelphia's previous contest due to a back injury. While Martin's partial practice is a positive sign of his availability against Detroit on Saturday, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report.
Nov 27, 2024
Downgraded to out
Martin (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will join Joel Embiid (knee), Paul George (knee) and Kyle Lowry (hip) on the sidelines Wednesday. Nick Nurse said Martin is considered day-to-day, and the forward will have a few days to rest and recover before trying to suit up Saturday in Detroit. The Sixers will start Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, Kelly Oubre, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond against Houston.
Nov 26, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
Martin (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is dealing with some lower back soreness and was held out of Tuesday's practice. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) already ruled out, the 76ers could be very thin in the frontcourt. If Martin is unable to play, we could see more of Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Eric Gordon.
Nov 22, 2024
Returns to game Friday
Martin (undisclosed) is back in Friday's game against the Nets, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin had left for the locker room, but he's back in the game. He should continue to handle his regular workload in the frontcourt.
Nov 22, 2024
Heads to locker room Friday
Martin headed to the locker room during the first quarter of Friday's game against the Nets due to an undisclosed injury, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what kind of issue is affecting Martin, but the forward has departed the contest and his return is now uncertain, as he went straight to the locker room. If he doesn't return, then KJ Martin, Guerschon Yabusele and Ricky Council would be in line to see more minutes the rest of the way.
Nov 14, 2024
Scores season-high 18 points
Martin finished Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Cavaliers with 18 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin has now scored double-digit points in four of his last five appearances. The 29-year-old forward is also shooting 56.8 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from three while averaging 2.2 steals per contest over that span.
Nov 13, 2024
Four more steals in Tuesday's loss
Martin finished with 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 111-99 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old forward tied his season highs in scoring and pilfers, and Martin has posted both his four-steal performances in the last two games. He maintained a heavy workload Tuesday even with Joel Embiid and Paul George both in the lineup for the first time this season, but Martin will likely see his minutes decline once Embiid is fully up to speed. Through 10 games and nine starts to begin the campaign, he's averaging a career-high 34.1 minutes a contest while producing 11.0 points, 5.6 boards, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals - all personal bests.
Nov 5, 2024
Shooting woes continue in loss
Martin accumulated five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 118-116 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Martin racked up double-digit rebounds for the second time this season, though he did struggle with his efficiency from the floor in the loss. The 29-year-old has carved out a significant role with Philadelphia, and he has played 30-plus minutes in five matchups. Through six regular-season outings, Martin has averaged 10.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks across 34.5 minutes per game. However, the forward has shot only 32.7 percent from the field thus far.
Oct 27, 2024
Secures double-double in win
Martin finished Sunday's 118-114 overtime win over the Pacers with 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old ended the game as the club's second-highest scorer behind Tyrese Maxey (45). Martin also racked up the team's second-highest mark in rebounds. The forward has been able to stuff the stat sheet through three regular-season games, though he is shooting only 1-for-7 from beyond the arc thus far. Martin's involvement in the offensive scheme will likely decrease when Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) return, though his start to the season is encouraging from a fantasy standpoint.
Oct 25, 2024
Suiting up Friday
Martin (calf) will start Friday against the Raptors, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will likely see heavy minutes, just like he did in the opener, in a Philly team without Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) once again. Martin came off the bench in the season-opening loss to the Bucks on Wednesday, tallying 12 points, nine rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes off the bench.
Oct 24, 2024
Expected to suit up Friday
Martin is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Raptors due to a right calf contusion.
ANALYSIS
Despite dealing with a right calf contusion, Martin is still expected to play Friday. With Paul George (knee) out, Martin should continue to receive increased playing time, as he logged 37 minutes in Philadelphia's regular-season opener.
Oct 23, 2024
Opening season as sixth man
Coach Nick Nurse said Martin won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bucks but will play a ton and is certainly one of the 76ers' five best players, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) out, Philadelphia will start Tyrese Maxey, Eric Gordon, Kelly Oubre, KJ Martin and Andre Drummond. Caleb operated off the bench for most of his career in Miami, so it's a role he's comfortable with, though it likely limits his fantasy upside a bit.
Oct 14, 2024
Delivers decent final line
Martin (rest) recorded seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 104-89 preseason victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Martin received a day off Saturday against the Celtics and looked solid off the bench during Monday's matchup despite limited opportunities on the offensive end. He'll have a few more chances to ramp up for the regular season, as the 76ers will face Brooklyn and Orlando later in the week before the opener Oct. 23 against Milwaukee.
Oct 12, 2024
Out of starting five Saturday
Martin is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Celtics, and he is not expected to play due to rest purposes.
ANALYSIS
Coach Nick Nurse said Saturday that the 76ers will rest its vets on the second day of a back-to-back road trip, according to Celtics beat reporter Bobby Krivitsky. Martin is unlikely to play off the bench, and his next chance to feature will come Monday against Atlanta.
Oct 11, 2024
Gets starting nod
Martin is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Martin signed a four-year contract with the 76ers this offseason after spending the previous three seasons with the Heat. It appears that Martin will start the season as one of Philadelphia's starting forwards.
Jul 6, 2024
Picked up by Philly
Martin has agreed to terms on a contract with the 76ers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was a core member of the Heat's rotation the past three seasons, averaging 9.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.2 triples across 26.7 minutes per game. He figures to play a similar role in Philadelphia, where he will presumably compete for minutes on the wing with the likes of Eric Grodon, Kelly Oubre and Jared McCaain.
Jun 29, 2024
Declines player option with Heat
Martin declined his $7.12 million player option Saturday, and he will become an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin revived his career coming to the Heat after starting with two lackluster years on the Hornets. Over his three year span with the club, the 28-year-old averaged 9.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals across 26.6 minutes. The swingman will likely garner interest from around the league seeing as he was a key part of Miami's NBA Finals run in the 2022-23 season.
Apr 24, 2024
Strong from deep in 20-point outing
Martin ended with 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Martin had a breakout performance in Wednesday's bounce-back victory, earning his second straight start to begin the series against the Celtics. Martin connected on a handful of threes while ending as one of three Heat players with 20 or more points, a mark he surpassed on four occasions during the regular season. Martin responded well after scoring four points in Game 1 and Miami will look for him to continue to help boost the offense in Game 3 and beyond.
Apr 9, 2024
Enters starting lineup
Martin is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin and Tyler Herro will enter the starting lineup Tuesday with Terry Rozier (neck) and Duncan Robinson (back) out. Martin is averaging 9.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 27.5 minutes across his previous 10 starts this season.
Apr 7, 2024
Boosts bench in 20-point showing
Martin contributed 20 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Martin was one of two Miami players with 20 or more points off the bench while leading all Heat bench players in shots made to go along with a trio of rebounds and a pair of assists to boost Miami in his sixth game of the year with 36 or more minutes. Martin has surpassed the 20-point mark in four games, his first since last doing so Dec. 11 against Charlotte. His 20-point outing was the second such performance while coming off the bench for the Heat.
Apr 2, 2024
Will play Tuesday
Martin (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action after a one-game absence. Before the ankle injury, Martin scored in double figures in 10 of his last 14 appearances, averaging 10.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in 28.5 minutes during that stretch.
Apr 1, 2024
Probable for Tuesday
Martin (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Terry Rozier (knee), Duncan Robinson (back) and Nikola Jovic (knee) are also expected to play for Miami. Martin missed Sunday's game against the Wizards due to some discomfort, but it appears that he has turned the corner with this injury.
Mar 30, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Martin has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Wizards due to right ankle discomfort.
ANALYSIS
Martin was held to just nine minutes of action in Miami's previous contest and will sit out Sunday due to a right ankle injury. Jaime Jaquez and Haywood Highsmith are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Martin's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.
Mar 29, 2024
Good to go
Martin (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Martin was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day, but he apparently felt good enough during pregame warmups to give it a go. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual responsibilities providing depth on the wing.
Mar 29, 2024
Will warm up with intent to play
Martin (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers but will warm up with the intent to play.
ANALYSIS
Despite his lingering ankle injury, Martin appears to be on track to suit up once again Friday. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 25.8 minutes per game.
Mar 28, 2024
Expected to play Friday
Martin (ankle) is probable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to deal with a nagging ankle injury but is expected to play through it Friday. If Martin is upgraded to available, he should continue to serve as one of Miami's primary options off the bench at the forward position.
Mar 26, 2024
Good to go Tuesday
Martin (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was previously carrying a questionable tag, but he'll power through his ankle issue. With Miami missing Jimmy Butler (illness), Tyler Herro (foot) and Duncan Robinson (back), Martin could see a healthy workload if his ankle holds up.
Mar 25, 2024
Questionable for Tuesday
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was also questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland due to knee and ankle injuries, but he was cleared to suit up. He's scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances, averaging 9.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per game.
Mar 24, 2024
Available vs. Cleveland
Martin (knee/ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin dealt with knee and ankle issues ahead of Sunday's matchup and was deemed questionable, but he's been cleared to suit up once again. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaged 9.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game.
Mar 23, 2024
Questionable to play Sunday
Martin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to knee and ankle injuries, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin played 17 minutes in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, going scoreless (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt) and grabbing three rebounds, but he landed on the injury report once again due to two separate injuries. If Martin ends up being ruled out, it'd be his first absence since Jan. 10, However, his availability isn't going to affect many fantasy lineups due to the nature of his bench role.
Mar 22, 2024
Will play Friday
Martin (ankle) has been cleared to play Friday against the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was added to the injury report as probable, so this update comes as no surprise. He's averaging 10.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five appearances, all off the bench.
Mar 22, 2024
Probable for Friday
Martin is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to right ankle discomfort, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was initially listed as available for Friday's matchup, but he was downgraded a few hours before tipoff. However, he's still likely to suit up despite his ankle issue.
Mar 16, 2024
Scores 18 off bench
Martin racked up 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 108-95 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Martin tied with Terry Rozier for second-most points scored on the Heat behind Bam Adebayo. Martin's six assists were most on the team and also a team-high in Friday's win. He's averaging 13.0 points on 47.8 percent shooting (including 47.1 percent from three on 4.9 3PA/G), 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 29.0 minutes per game in March.
Mar 5, 2024
Scores 15 off bench Tuesday
Martin posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been solid for the Heat off the bench since being replaced by Nikola Jovic in the starting lineup. Martin has scored in double digits in his last three games and is shooting 9-for-15 from three over that span. His role may shrink, however, once Tyler Herro (knee) returns to action.
Mar 2, 2024
Available off bench
Martin (thumb) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Martin has shaken off a questionable tag and will be available off the bench Saturday. Over his last two appearances as a reserve, Martin averaged 10.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 27.5 minutes per game.
Mar 1, 2024
Dealing with thumb sprain
Martin is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to a left thumb sprain.
ANALYSIS
Martin presumably suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to Denver, which he finished with 13 points (5-10 FG) and nine rebounds in 28 minutes. He's one of four Heat players listed as questionable, so it's unclear what their rotation will look like versus Utah.
Feb 27, 2024
Back to bench
Martin will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Portland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinelreports.
ANALYSIS
Miami is mixing it up again Tuesday in what will be their 31st different lineup this season. Nikola Jovic will replace Martin in the starting lineup, but Martin's versatility will likely help him maintain a sizable role with the second unit.
Feb 27, 2024
Plays 40 minutes in win
Martin finished with 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 121-110 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Miami was very shorthanded Monday, as Jimmy Butler was one of a few suspended players. Tyler Herro (knee) and Terry Rozier (knee) were also held out, so Martin saw a ton of usage on the offensive end and didn't disappoint. As a utility player for the Heat, Martin offers a nice floor in fantasy basketball for his versatility.
Feb 7, 2024
Upgraded to available
Martin (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin has been upgraded from probable to available and will likely draw a second straight start in Haywood Hightsmith's (personal) absence. On Tuesday, Martin posted 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during a win over the Magic.
Feb 7, 2024
Probable for Wednesday
Martin is probable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs with a right quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Martin, but it's not expected to force him to the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Martin moved into the starting lineup Tuesday against the Magic and produced 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes.
Feb 6, 2024
Starting against Orlando
Martin will start Tuesday's game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinelreports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will replace Haywood Highsmith in the first unit. Martin is coming off a strong showing against the Clippers on Sunday, scoring 11 points with four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
Jan 30, 2024
Steady in loss
Martin amassed 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Monday's 118-105 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Martin averaged 13.3 points and 7.2 rebounds across nine starts prior to a two-week absence due to an ankle sprain, and he is still regaining rhythm in 10 games since returning. Monday's performance puts him on the right track, however, and he is a candidate to return to similar production down the stretch.
Jan 19, 2024
Moves into starting lineup
Martin will start Friday's game against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Kyle Lowry has been struggling for Miami and will move to the second unit. Martin will likely share the ball-handling responsibilities with Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler, but this move could be great for his fantasy appeal if it sticks. In his last four appearances, Martin averaged 8.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals.
Jan 12, 2024
Cleared to play
Martin (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin has been upgraded from probable to available and will make his first appearance since Christmas Day. Given the eight-game absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Martin limited Friday, but the Heat are going to be without Jimmy Butler (toe), Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Kyle Lowry (hand), leaving plenty of minutes available for Martin.
Jan 12, 2024
Upgraded to probable
Martin (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Martin is expected to return to action Friday after missing the last eight games with a right ankle sprain. With Jimmy Butler (toe), Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Kyle Lowry (hand) all doubtful, Martin could be in store for extended minutes.
Jan 11, 2024
Iffy against Orlando
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed Miami's last eight games due to a right ankle sprain. However, his upgraded status is a good sign that the 28-year-old forward is nearing a return.
Jan 10, 2024
Ruled out Wednesday
Martin (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Martin's absence streak will extend to eight games Wednesday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Orlando.
Jan 9, 2024
Officially considered doubtful
Martin (ankle) is doubtful to play Wednesday against Oklahoma City, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is at risk of missing his seventh consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. Barring a surprising recovery, Jaime Jaquez, Nikola Jovic and the recently-returned Haywood Highsmith will absorb Martin's vacated role on Wednesday.
Jan 9, 2024
Absent due to illness
Martin (ankle) was not at Tuesday's practice due to an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed the past six games with a right ankle sprain, but now he's also dealing with an illness. Miami will release their injury report Tuesday evening, but Martin appears iffy at best for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Jan 8, 2024
Remains out
Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
This marks Martin's sixth consecutive missed game, and his expected return date has yet to be established. Look for Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic to see increased roles in Martin's absence.
Jan 7, 2024
Unlikely to play Monday
Martin (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Martin will likely miss a sixth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. It's unclear if he's close to returning, but he can be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's game versus Oklahoma City.
Jan 5, 2024
Not playing Friday
Martin (ankle) will not play in Friday's game in Phoenix, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Martin was originally deemed doubtful. In his absence, the likes of Josh Richardson, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson could see some extra minutes.
Jan 4, 2024
Unlikely to play Friday
Martin (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Martin is expected to miss his fifth straight game Friday due to a right ankle sprain. Josh Richardson, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson are candidates to receive extended minutes in his likely absence.
Jan 3, 2024
Officially ruled out
Martin (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin's absence streak will extend to four games after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Phoenix.
Jan 2, 2024
Doubtful for Wednesday
Martin (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Martin is likely to miss his fourth straight game since injuring his ankle on Christmas Day. Jimmy Butler (foot) has already been ruled out and Josh Richardson (back) is questionable, so the Heat will likely continue to rely on Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson.
Jan 1, 2024
Officially ruled out
Martin (ankle) will not play Monday against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss his third straight game, joining Jimmy Butler (foot) as inactive while Miami squares off against a wing-centric Clippers' lineup. Martin carried a doubtful designation throughout Monday, which likely makes him questionable to play Wednesday against the Lakers.
Dec 31, 2023
Doubtful for Monday
Martin (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been carrying doubtful tags since picking up his sprained ankle on Christmas. With Martin expected to miss a third straight game and with Haywood Highsmith considered doubtful with a jaw contusion, the Heat could turn to Kevin Love or Nikola Jovic to pick up some minutes.
Dec 30, 2023
Officially out
Martin (ankle) won't play Saturday against Utah, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was added to the injury report as doubtful with a right ankle sprain, so this latest update comes as no surprise. Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez should continue to benefit at power forward with Martin sidelined.
Dec 29, 2023
Doubtful for Saturday
Martin (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Martin sprained his ankle on Dec. 25 and it sounds like he's going to miss his second straight contest. Haywood Highsmith could benefit if Martin sits out again, although he's been quiet in December with averages of 4.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in his last six outings.
Dec 28, 2023
Officially ruled out
Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him unavailable after spraining his ankle Monday against the 76ers. His next chance to return will be Saturday against Utah, while Haywood Highsmith could see additional run in Martin's absence.
Dec 27, 2023
Doubtful for Thursday
Martin (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's contest against the Warriors, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin sprained his ankle during Monday's win over the 76ers, didn't practice Wednesday and likely won't play Thursday. The Heat have another long injury report, so it's difficult to project what their lineup will look like, but Haywood Highsmith figures to be a beneficiary of Martin's expected absence.
Dec 27, 2023
Sits out practice Wednesday
Martin (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin sprained his ankle on Christmas against the 76ers, but X-rays came back clean. Miami has not released their injury report yet, but Martin is likely going to be doubtful at best for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Dec 25, 2023
Suffers ankle sprain
Martin suffered a sprained right ankle and will not return to Monday's game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Martin was forced to exit in the first quarter of Monday's contest and was promptly ruled out for the remainder of the game. Martin missed 10 of Miami's first 11 games this season due to left knee tendonitis, but he had carried a perfect bill of health since. Details on the severity of his right ankle sprain have yet to be released.
Dec 17, 2023
Continues producing
Martin amassed 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Since returning to a 30-minute role over the past 10 games, Martin has been extremely efficient, averaging 17.0 points while connecting on 50.8 percent of 13.2 shots per game. Difficult matchups against the Timberwolves and Magic are on deck for Miami, but Martin's minute share has been strong and his usage rate is currently at a career-high 20.3 percent, which support his nightly floor.
Dec 15, 2023
Records double-double in loss
Martin notched 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Martin saw his seven-game streak with double-digit points get snapped against Charlotte in his previous contest, but he got right back on track with a 17-point effort Thursday. The forward complemented the scoring with a team-high 11 boards to finish with his second double-double of the campaign. Martin is in the midst of his best NBA season to date, averaging career highs of 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 triples per contest.
Dec 12, 2023
Joins well-balanced attack
Martin provided 20 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes during Monday's 116-114 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin was one of four players to score at least 18 points for the Heat on Monday, with the outing marking his seventh consecutive game with at least 14 points. Across his past three games as a starter, Martin has averaged 19.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.0 assist in 34.7 minutes per contest. He provides critical two-way athleticism at the forward positions for Miami, especially with Bam Adebayo (hip) out indefinitely.
Dec 6, 2023
Career-high 12 rebounds in win
Martin finished with 24 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
It was also Martin's fifth career double-double as he and center Orlando Robinson combined for 24 of the Heat's 44 rebounds. It was the first time this season that Martin drew the start and he stepped up by leading in scoring for the second time this season while registering a plus-17 point differential, third highest on the team. He could continue to see more playing time moving forward for as long as Haywood Highsmith (back) and Tyler Herro (ankle) remain sidelined.
Dec 6, 2023
Making first start of 2023
Martin will enter the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite dealing with a bruised shoulder, Martin was upgraded to available mid-day Wednesday and will be forced into the starting lineup for the first time this season with Haywood Highsmith (back) and Tyler Herro (ankle) sidelined. Over his last four games, Martin is averaging 17.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 29.2 minutes.
Dec 5, 2023
Will play through shoulder bruise
Martin is available for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto despite a shoulder contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin notched season highs in points (22) and minutes (31) during Saturday's loss to the Nets. It appears he also suffered a shoulder injury during the contest, but it's not serious enough to sideline him. With Miami banged up, Martin should continue to see increased playing time and usage versus the Raptors.
Nov 26, 2023
Scores season-high 22 points
Martin recorded 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 112-97 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Martin logged a season-high 31 minutes in the loss, dropping 22 points, also a season-high. The Heat were without a number of key pieces Saturday, affording additional playing time to Martin, amongst others. While he should not be looked at as a must-roster player, if Haywood Highsmith (back) is forced to miss time, Martin might be worth taking a flier on given what we know he can do.
Nov 17, 2023
Plays 12 minutes in return
Martin accumulated six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 12 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed 10 straight games due to knee tendinitis but returned to action Thursday, marking his first appearance since the regular-season opener. He was limited to just 12 minutes and was behind Jaime Jaquez, Josh Richardson and Kevin Love in the rotation. Last season, Martin averaged 9.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes across 71 appearances (49 starts), but it's unclear if he'll be able to see that much playing time consistently in 2023-24.
Nov 15, 2023
Listed as available for Thursday
Martin (knee) is listed as available for Thursday's matchup against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't played since the regular-season opener due to knee tendinitis. His return would be a huge boost and help fill the void left by Tyler Herro's (ankle) ongoing absence. Across 71 appearances (49 starts) last year, Martin averaged 9.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes per game.
Nov 13, 2023
Still sidelined Tuesday

Remains out Wednesday
Martin (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Memphis, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Oct 27, 2023
Downgraded to questionable
Martin (knee) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was previously listed as probable, so he's trending in the wrong direction. He's presumably still battling knee tendinitis, which caused him to miss most of Miami's preseason schedule.
Oct 26, 2023
Likely to play Friday
Martin (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin dealt with a knee injury ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons but was available with a minutes limit. He'll likely be able to suit up again Friday, but it's unclear whether his playing time will be restricted again. The 28-year-old tallied two points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's win.
Oct 25, 2023
Slated for bench role
Martin (knee) isn't starting Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons.

Oct 24, 2023
Will have minutes limit
Martin (knee) will have a minutes limit for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is still experiencing knee pain, but he'll be available Wednesday. There's no word on how many minutes he'll see, but the Heat will take what they can get with Josh Richardson (foot) still hobbled.
Oct 20, 2023
Suiting up against Houston
Martin (knee) is available for Friday's preseason finale versus the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will make his preseason debut Friday after missing time with left tendinosis. However, Martin will be on a minutes restriction as he works his way back into game shape.
Oct 18, 2023
Still out against Brooklyn
Martin (knee) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has yet to suit up this preseason, but this is likely due to the Heat being cautious with his left knee tendinosis. If he's unable to suit up in Friday's preseason contest against Houston, his next chance to do so will come in the team's regular-season opener against Detroit on Oct. 25.
Oct 17, 2023
Logs partial practice
Martin was limited at practice Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 10, 2023
Won't play Tuesday
Martin (knee) is out for Tuesday's preseason game versus Charlotte, Ira Winderman of the Miami Sun-Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 10, 2023
Didn't participate in scrimmage
Martin (knee) didn't participate in Monday's intra-squad scrimmage, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 7, 2023
Limited in practice
Martin sat out part of Saturday's practice due to left knee tendinosis, Ira Winderman of the Miami Sun-Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
There is no indication that Martin's knee injury is serious, but the Heat could be cautious with him in the preseason. Martin's status for Tuesday's preseason matchup with Charlotte is now in question.
Jun 13, 2023
Scores 10 points off bench
Martin chipped in 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 94-89 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Martin was an offensive revelation during Miami's postseason run, posting 12.7 points on 52/42/82 shooting splits across 23 appearances. The undrafted forward out of Nevada signed a two-year deal with a player option for 2024-25 last offseason, so he figures to be a core piece of the Heat's rotation for at least one more campaign.
Jun 4, 2023
Coming off bench Sunday
Martin will come off the bench in Sunday's Game 2 matchup against the Nuggets, Jared Greenberg of NBA on TNT reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will come in with the second unit for the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals after starting the last three contests. He comes into the game battling a non-COVID-19-related illness, but still figures to get ample run off the bench. Martin scored three points and pulled in four boards to go along with a block and a steal in 25 minutes in Game 1.
Jun 4, 2023
Available Sunday
Martin (illness) is available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Sunday, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was questionable for Sunday's matchup due to a non-COVID-19-related illness that forced him to miss practice Saturday, but he'll be able to suit up as the Heat attempt to even the series. He played 25 minutes in Game 1 on Thursday and logged three points, four rebounds, a steal and a block.
Jun 3, 2023
Officially questionable
Martin (illness) is questionable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin wasn't able to practice Saturday due to a non-COVID illness and has been handed a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's tilt. Though he is highly incentivized to play through the issue given Miami's 1-0 deficit, managers will likely have to check back in closer to tipoff to get an update on his status.
Jun 3, 2023
Dealing with illness
Martin missed Saturday's practice due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
After falling flat in Game 1 and mustering up just three points over 25 minutes, Martin could not attend Saturday's practice and appears to be battling an illness. Though it's unclear if the illness played a role in his Game 1 struggles, it's likely he won't be feeling 100 percent for Sunday's Game 2 if he suits up. We'll get more information regarding Martin's status when the Heat release their official injury report.
Jun 2, 2023
Goes missing in Game 1 loss
Martin contributed three points (1-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 104-93 loss to the Nuggets in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Martin was unable to maintain his momentum Thursday, scoring just three points on 1-of-7 shooting. Coming off a heroic performance in Game 7 against the Celtics, he came crashing back to earth against a much more well-rounded Nuggets outfit. Given what we know about Martin, he was always going to regress after putting together a historic shooting performance thus far in the playoffs. With that said, look for him to deliver an improved effort Monday.
May 29, 2023
Sparks offense with double-double
Martin totaled 26 points (11-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 45 minutes during Monday's 103-84 victory over Boston in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Martin finished with a team-high-tying rebound total while finishing as one of two Heat players with 25 or more points in Monday's Game 7 victory. Martin, who didn't have a 25-point performance during the regular season, surpassed that mark twice in the Eastern Conference Finals and has recorded two straight double-doubles for Miami.
May 28, 2023
Continues prolific play
Martin totaled 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 104-103 loss to the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Martin moved into the starting lineup for Game 6, sending Kevin Love to the bench. The former finished second on the team in scoring behind Jimmy Butler and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds en route to his second double-double of the postseason. Martin has scored in double figures in all six matchups of the Eastern Conference Finals thus far, averaging 18.2 points on 58/46/87 shooting splits.
May 27, 2023
Starting in Game 6
Martin is in the starting lineup for Game 6 against the Celtics on Saturday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin gets the nod over Kevin Love in the power forward role, and this will be his first start since May 2, when he registered 22 points and eight rebounds in a loss against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Martin is averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game across 16 contests since the start of the first-round series against the Bucks.
May 22, 2023
Solid from bench again
Martin chipped in 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 victory over Boston in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to provide spark off the bench, and his totals against the Celtics have been excellent. Over three games against Boston, Martin has averaged 19.3 pointes, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals. He's also converted an eye-popping 63.2 percent of his shots during the series.
May 20, 2023
Excellent off bench Friday
Martin finished with 25 points (11-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 111-105 victory over the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Martin was impressive off the bench and was outstanding as a scoring threat, missing just five of his 16 field-goal attempts. The forward has been coming off the bench regularly in the playoffs but remains productive, having scored in double digits in five of his last seven appearances.
May 12, 2023
Good to go Friday
Martin (back) is available for Friday's Game 6 versus New York, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin has been upgraded from probable to available and will continue to suit up despite a lingering back bruise. Over the first five matchups of the series against the Knicks, Martin has averaged 11.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 29.2 minutes per game.
May 11, 2023
Likely to play in Game 6
Martin (back) is probable for Friday's Game 6 versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Martin is dealing with a nagging back contusion but hasn't missed a game all playoffs. The 27-year-old forward has played at least 23 minutes in every game this series and should be a full-go if he's upgraded to available.
May 10, 2023
Good to go Wedneday
Martin (back) is Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel for Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Knicks, Ira reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been upgraded from probable to available for the third straight game Wednesday, despite dealing with a back contusion. Martin is averaging 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 29.5 minutes across the first four contests of the series.
May 9, 2023
Still dealing with back issue
Martin (back) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 in New York.
ANALYSIS
Martin suffered a back contusion in Game 2 after crashing into the bench but hasn't been forced to miss any game action yet. He posted 10 points, five rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes in Game 4 and will likely garner a similar role if he's cleared for Game 5. Martin's official availability presumably won't be determined until closer to Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. ET tip-of.
May 8, 2023
Good to go Monday
Martin (back) is available for Monday's Game 4 versus New York, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up despite battling a back issue he suffered in Game 2. Over the first three games of the second-round series, the versatile forward has averaged 11.3 points and 6.0 rebounds in 30.7 minutes, but those numbers are inflated due to a 22-point, eight-rebound performance as a starter in Game 2 when Jimmy Butler (ankle) was sidelined.
May 7, 2023
Expected to play Monday
Martin (back) is listed as questionable but expected to play in Monday's Game 4 versus New York, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to deal with a back issue after crashing into the bench in Game 2, but he's expected to suit up for a second straight game. He posted three points and five rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench in Game 3 and figures to see a similar role if he's cleared for Game 4.
May 6, 2023
Moves back to bench
Martin isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Jimmy Butler will replace Martin in the starting five Saturday after missing Game 2 with an ankle injury. Martin is averaging 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.5 minutes across his six appearances coming off the bench this postseason.
May 6, 2023
Good to go Saturday
Martin (back) is available for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Knicks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite a back contusion, as expected. Martin will likely return to the bench if Jimmy Butler (ankle) is able to suit up.
May 5, 2023
Questionable, but expected to play
Martin is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 versus New York, but he told reporters Friday that he'll play, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin crashed into the bench late in Game 2 and is dealing with a back issue, but it's not expected to keep him out of a critical Game 3. With Jimmy Butler (ankle) sidelined, the versatile forward drew the start during Tuesday's 111-105 loss and finished with 22 points and eight rebounds -- both team highs. Butler is expected to return Saturday, but even if he operates off the bench, Martin should still garner a major role as the series shifts to Miami.
May 2, 2023
Leading scorer in starting lineup
Martin finished Tuesday's 111-105 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin got the starting nod in place of the injured Jimmy Butler (ankle), finishing with a team-high scoring total and a team-high-tying rebound mark while ending two boards short of a double-double. Martin surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time of the postseason, having tallied at least 10 points and eight rebounds in three of seven playoff contests.
May 2, 2023
Moves into starting lineup
Martin will move into the starting lineup for Game 2 versus the Knicks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Jimmy Butler is sitting out Game 2 with an ankle injury, leaving a huge role in the rotation in terms of minutes and usage. Martin made 49 starts during the regular season and averaged 10.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steals, and he has a big chance to improve on those numbers Tuesday night.
Apr 23, 2023
Posts double-double in win
Martin supplied 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-99 win over the Bucks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Martin has scored at least 10 points in each of the first three games of the opening-round series and tied his season high with 11 rebounds in Game 3 en route to his second double-double of the campaign. The undrafted product out of Nevada isn't a starter, but he's averaged 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes per game to start postseason action.
Apr 14, 2023
Logs 27 minutes Friday
Martin chipped in six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds over 27 minutes during Friday's 102-91 play-in game victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Martin led the bench unit with 27 minutes, although from a numerical standpoint, he failed to make the most of his opportunity. The Heat ran an eight-man rotation, affording Martin a solid amount of playing time. They will face the Bucks in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, a matchup they are not expected to win. Should the coaching staff stick with a shallow rotation, Martin should feature prominently again, despite coming off the bench.
Mar 26, 2023
Struggles with shot in loss
Martin (knee) had four points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to play through knee soreness, but he's struggled with his shot of late, scoring five or fewer points in three of his last four appearances. However, he salvaged his production Saturday by grabbing his most rebounds since mid-February and recorded at least one tally in each defensive category for the fourth time across 12 March appearances.
Mar 25, 2023
Good to go Saturday
Martin (knee) is available for Saturday's tilt against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been quite healthy lately, appearing in 28 of the past 29 games. Since he was moved to the bench following the All-Star break, he's averaged 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 27.4 minutes.
Mar 24, 2023
Questionable against Brooklyn
Martin (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been dealing with a sore left knee recently, but he's appeared in the last five matchups. He's averaged 8.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per game during that time, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him available once again Saturday.
Mar 22, 2023
Upgraded to available
Martin (knee) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will suit up for a fifth straight game despite battling some knee pain. Over his past four appearances, he's averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.5 minutes.
Mar 21, 2023
Added to injury report
Martin was a late addition to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin wasn't among the group on the initial report, but his late addition doesn't bode particularly well. However, the team doesn't play until Wednesday, so morning shootaround should provide a clearer picture of his chances of suiting up.
Mar 20, 2023
Offers cross-category contributions
Martin finished Sunday's 112-100 win over Detroit with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin reached the 30-minute mark for the third game in a row and is clearly being prioritized over Kevin Love, who hasn't played more than 23 minutes at any point during that stretch despite starting each time. Though he doesn't offer standout production in any one area, Martin typically chips in a little bit across the board without being a notable liability in any category. Since moving to the bench in late February, Martin is shooting 53.6 percent from the field and 90 percent from the free-throw line while averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.8 minutes.
Mar 16, 2023
Turns in serviceable line off bench
Martin finished with 11 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 30 minutes in Wednesday's 138-119 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
After missing a game last Saturday against the Magic due to knee soreness, Martin has returned to action and hit double figures in the scoring column while recording exactly two steals in the Heat's first two games of the week. Though Martin looks as though he'll continue to come off the bench, he's consistently getting more minutes than Kevin Love while outproducing the five-time All-Star. Even so, Martin likely won't warrant much attention outside of 14-team leagues or deeper unless the Heat are down one of their top three players -- Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro -- at some point.
Mar 13, 2023
Available Monday
Martin (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Martin was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Monday, so it isn't very surprising to see him get the green light to return from his one-game absence. He's been held under 10 points in five of his last eight appearances and has averaged 9.9 points and 3.5 rebounds in 27.1 minutes per game during that time.
Mar 13, 2023
Now probable
Martin (knee) is probable for Monday's matchup against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been upgraded from questionable to probable and will likely play through his left knee soreness after sitting out Saturday's loss to Orlando. The addition of Kevin Love has shifted Martin to a reserve role, but he's still playing major minutes off the bench, averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 27.0 minutes over his last nine appearances.
Mar 12, 2023
Questionable Monday
Martin (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Martin sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday due to some soreness in his knee, but there's a chancee he could return for Monday's game. If he is able to get back out there, Omer Yurtseven would likely drop from the rotation entirely.
Mar 11, 2023
Won't play Saturday
Martin (knee) will miss Saturday's game versus the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Originally listed as questionable on the injury report, Martin will ultimately miss his first game since Jan. 14 due to some soreness in his left knee. His next opportunity to rejoin the action arrives Monday versus the Jazz. In the meantime, Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith, among others, are candidates to add some minutes.
Mar 11, 2023
Questionable Saturday
Martin is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin's status will depend on how his knee is feeling clsoer to tip-off. Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith could potentially see some extra minutes providing depth on the wing if he is ultimately unable to go.
Mar 7, 2023
Provides value sans Love
Martin delivered 21 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Monday's 130-128 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Though he didn't receive a reappointment to the starting five with Kevin Love (ribs) sitting out, Martin still absorbed some of Love's vacated playing time and came through with an excellent all-around fantasy line. Martin won't be able to nail two-thirds of his field-goal attempts on any sort of regular basis, and the high free-throw count was a bit of an anomaly as well, but he still looks as though he can be a serviceable back-end roster option in 12- or 14-team category leagues while he looks increasingly comfortable in a sixth-man role. Even if Love is back in action Wednesday against the Cavaliers, he hadn't been playing well prior to suffering his injury and could end up becoming less of a priority than Martin, who has eclipsed 25 minutes in all but one of his seven appearances since moving to the bench.
Mar 5, 2023
Scores 15 points off bench
Martin posted 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been relegated to a reserve role since the arrival of Kevin Love, but the former has still been somewhat productive off the bench. He's scored in double figures in back-to-back games and is averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 26.3 minutes since moving to the bench (six games).
Mar 4, 2023
Scores 14 off bench
Martin supplied 14 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 122-120 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Martin was held to single digit points in his previous three games, so it will be interesting to see if he can build some momentum after Friday's strong showing. Despite the arrival of Kevin Love, Martin's workload has remained steady with minutes in the mid-20s most nights.
Mar 3, 2023
Cleared for action Friday
Martin (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was a late addition to the injury report Friday afternoon, but he'll still suit up despite left ankle discomfort. He's been relegated to a reserve role with the addition of Kevin Love, but Martin is still averaging 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 25.8 minutes across four straight appearances off the bench.
Mar 3, 2023
Late addition to injury report
Martin is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to left ankle discomfort, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was a late addition to the injury report and may miss the first half of Miami's upcoming back-to-back set. If that's the case, Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith and Max Strus would be candidates for increased roles behind Kevin Love.
Feb 24, 2023
Moves to bench
Martin will move to the bench Friday against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Kevin Love will start in his Miami debut, while Tyler Herro is returning from a knee issue and will replace Max Strus. Martin still figures to be heavily involved off the bench, but Love's arrival could negatively affect Martin's fantasy value.
Feb 9, 2023
Double-double in Wednesday's win
Martin totaled 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
It's the fourth-year forward's second double-double of the season, with both coming in the last four games, while the four steals ties his season high. After dealing with injuries in December and January, Martin appears to be back in form now, and over the last six contests he's averaging 12.2 points, 7.8 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor.
Feb 3, 2023
Unflattering effort in loss
Martin notched five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 106-104 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a strong performance against the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Martin followed up with the complete opposite Thursday. Despite being locked in as a starter, Martin has been able to put up consistent numbers. He will go on brief runs in which he flirts with 12-team value, only to go downhill in a hurry. To avoid the stress, managers would be better off leaving him for those in deeper formats.
Jan 31, 2023
Leads from deep in double-double
Martin chipped in 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 100-97 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Martin connected on a team-leading four threes while finishing two points shy of the 20-point mark en route to a double-double outing. Martin set a season-high rebound mark in Tuesday's win, securing his first double-double of the season.
Jan 28, 2023
Multi-cat effort Friday
Martin logged 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 110-105 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Martin was able to play through his quad injury, posting what was his best fantasy line in quite a while. After a period in which he was a viable 12-team commodity, Martin has slowed over the past month, sitting outside the top 175 during that time. His role is likely to stick moving forward, although the improved play of Victor Oladipo does put a cap on his overall appeal. Outside of being a steals streamer, Martin is best left for those in slightly deeper formats.
Jan 27, 2023
Available vs. Magic
Martin (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the wing will play through a strained left quad. Foul trouble limited Martin to 11 minutes in the Heat's previous game -- a three-point win over the Celtics. In seven appearances this month, he's averaged 6.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 23.9 minutes.
Jan 26, 2023
Probable Friday
Martin (quadriceps) is probable for Friday's game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed five games due to his left quadriceps strain between early and mid-January, and he's still bothered by the issue ahead of Friday's matchup. However, he'll likely be able to suit up against the Magic. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 6.6 points and 4.0 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per game.
Jan 25, 2023
Foul trouble limits minutes
Martin provided five points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 98-95 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Martin saw his fewest minutes of the season during Tuesday's close win, mainly due to foul trouble. Even so, it was a bit surprising to see him play just 11 minutes in the absence of Jimmy Butler (back). Max Strus (37 minutes) and Haywood Highsmith (30 minutes) ended up seeing the biggest increases in workload. Martin continues to have value in deeper fantasy formats, though he's mostly valuable when the Heat are missing other starters.
Jan 18, 2023
Set to play against New Orleans
Martin (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday with a left quadriceps strain. He is averaging 7.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.0 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 17, 2023
Likely to play Wednesday
Martin is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans due to a left quadriceps strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to deal with a nagging quadriceps injury but is expected to play Wednesday. The 27-year-old forward has started in 35 of his appearances this season.
Jan 17, 2023
Quiet in return
Martin ended with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 121-113 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old forward had missed the prior five games due to a quadriceps strain, but Martin's workload and production were within his usual range in his return. He's missed nine of the Heat's last 16 games as a result of multiple injuries, but even when he's 100 percent, Martin needs Miami's bigger-name players to be sidelined to have significant fantasy upside.
Jan 16, 2023
Will start Monday
Martin (quad) will start Monday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed the last five games with a quad injury, but after being listed as questionable coming into the day, he's been cleared to take the floor. As has been the case all season, Martin will start on the wing alongside Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Gabe Vincent and Bam Adebayo. Haywood Highsmith will shift to the bench after starting the last five contests.
Jan 15, 2023
Receives questionable tag
Martin (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed the Heat's previous four games with the left quad strain, but he appeared close to playing in Saturday's 111-95 win over the Bucks before being ultimately ruled out ahead of the contest. With two more days to rest up from the quad injury, Martin should have a better chance at suiting up in Atlanta, though he may not see an extensive role even if he's plugged back into his usual spot in the starting five. In three of his last five appearances before missing time with the quad issue, Martin played fewer than 22 minutes.
Jan 14, 2023
Won't play Saturday
Martin (quad) will miss Saturday's game versus the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Reports earlier in the day suggested Martin would be available but may not see the floor, but it appears the team has decided to rule him out after all. As a result, look for more action from Haywood Highsmith, Max Strus and Jamal Cain, among others.
Jan 14, 2023
Active, may not play
Martin (quadriceps) will be active for Saturday's game against the Bucks, but may not see the floor, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been sidelined for the previous four games due to a left quadriceps strain. While he will be available Saturday, it remains to be seen if he will actually see the floor.
Jan 13, 2023
Likely to play against Milwaukee
Martin (quadriceps) is probable for Saturday's game versus the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is expected to return to the lineup after missing the previous four games with a left quadriceps strain. He will likely replace Haywood Highsmith in the starting five Friday, as he has started in all 34 of his appearances this season.
Jan 11, 2023
Still out Thursday
Martin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to deal with a left quadriceps strain, and he'll be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game. Max Strus, Haywood Highsmith (undisclosed) and Jamal Cain are candidates to see increased playing time Thursday.
Jan 9, 2023
Won't play Tuesday
Martin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss a third straight game due to a left quadriceps strain. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Bucks. Haywood Highsmith figures to draw another start in Martin's absence.
Jan 8, 2023
Out as expected
Martin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Brooklyn, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin will miss a third straight game due to a left quadriceps strain. Haywood Highsmith figures to draw another start in Martin's absence.
Jan 7, 2023
Unlikely to play Sunday
Martin (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Martin will likely miss his second straight game Sunday due to a left quadriceps strain. Haywood Highsmith should continue to start in his place. Martin's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday's matchup with the Thunder.
Jan 6, 2023
Officially out
Martin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier in the afternoon, so it's not surprising to see him officially ruled out. The extent of the quadriceps injury remains unclear, but his next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Nets.
Jan 6, 2023
Downgraded to doubtful
Martin (quadriceps) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Martin appeared in the last two games and was initially considered questionable Friday due to his left quadriceps strain, but it appears as though he'll be unavailable for the third time in the last five matchups. Assuming he's held out, Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith are candidates to see increased run for Miami.
Jan 5, 2023
Questionable Friday
Martin is questionable for Friday's meeting with Phoenix due to a left quad strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has played through the injury for two games but logged just 14 and 21 minutes in each respective contest. His appearance on the injury report combined with his limited action indicates that he is still experiencing some discomfort. If he is given Friday off, Max Strus would stand to see the most benefits.
Jan 4, 2023
Upgraded to available
Martin (quadriceps) will play in Wednesday's matchup with the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday. The 27-year-old forward has started in all 33 of his appearances this season.
Jan 3, 2023
Probable Wednesday
Martin (quad) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Barring any major setbacks prior to tipoff, Martin will likely resume his normal starting role at the forward position. Martin posted two points, three rebounds, one assist and one block in 14 minutes in his return Monday against the Clippers.
Jan 2, 2023
Attempting to play Monday
Martin (quad) will try to play in Monday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
It's clear that Martin doesn't quite feel 100 percent healthy, but the guard will give it a go. He's missed his team's last two contests while tending to a left quad strain.
Jan 1, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Martin (quad) is listed questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
As usual, Martin is one of several players listed on the Heat's injury report, and it remains completely unclear if he'll be able to return from a two-game absence. Martin has started every game in which he's played this season, but he's missed four of the last seven due to a strained quad.
Dec 31, 2022
Still out Saturday
Martin (quadriceps) will not play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss a second consecutive absence with a left quadriceps strain, which will allow Haywood Highsmith to receive another start while Victor Oladipo could see extra run off the bench. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Clippers.
Dec 31, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Martin (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Martin was unavailable Friday against the Nuggets due to a left quadriceps strain, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson are candidates to see increased playing time.
Dec 30, 2022
Out Friday
Martin (ankle) will not take the floor against the Nuggets on Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss the first leg of a back-to-back set Friday with an ankle injury. With Victor Oladipo (rest) also out, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus will be in line for more minutes. Martin's next chance to play comes Saturday at Utah.
Dec 29, 2022
Questionable Friday
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has played in the Heat's last three games after missing the two previous contests with an ankle injury. Victor Oladipo, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus are all candidates to see extended minutes if he can't suit up Friday.
Dec 29, 2022
Tallies 13 points
Martin closed Wednesday's 112-98 win over the Lakers with 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin was able to play through his ankle injury once again during Wednesday's matchup, and he was efficient from the floor to score in double figures for the first time since Dec. 15. His playing time has increased over his three appearances since returning to the court, and he's averaged 7.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game during that time.
Dec 28, 2022
Gets green light Wednesday
Martin (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Martin was considered probable for Wednesday's game leading up to the tilt and has indeed received the all-clear to give it a go. He should slot into his usual starting role but hasn't been particularly productive lately, combining for just eight points between the last two games. However, Martin attempted 12 shots last time out, so there's certainly room for improvement in the scoring column.
Dec 27, 2022
Likely available again Wednesday
Martin (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is listed as probable for a second straight game due to a lingering ankle injury. He was ultimately cleared and started Monday's contest, posting eight points, eight rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes. He figures to garner a similar role against Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Dec 26, 2022
Cleared for Monday
Martin (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will be available and presumably draw a second straight start following a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. In his first contest back, he posted four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal but was held scoreless across 19 minutes. Miami will be without Jimmy Butler (ankle) and Bam Adebayo (illness), so Martin may see increased usage against Minnesota.
Dec 25, 2022
Likely to play Monday
Martin (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Martin returned from a two-game absence Friday against Indiana and logged zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 19 minutes. While he's still dealing with his ankle injury, it appears likely that he'll be able to suit up once again Monday.
Dec 24, 2022
Scoreless in return Friday
Martin closed Friday's 111-108 loss to the Pacers with zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin played just 19 minutes in his first game back and didn't take the floor over the final 17 minutes of action. There is no indication of any concern with Martin following the contest, so he figures to see additional run in the coming games. While the fourth-year forward could not contribute much on the offensive end Friday, he did prove to be a menace again on defense, compiling three blocks-plus-steals. Martin's defensive game keeps him on the fantasy radar, but he needs to provide some offensive output to remain viable.
Dec 23, 2022
Starting Friday
Martin will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Martin will return to the first unit following a two-game absence with a sprained left ankle. Max Strus will be bumped to the bench with Martin healthy Friday.
Dec 23, 2022
Slated to play Friday
Martin (ankle) will warm up with the intention of playing Friday against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
After a two-game absence, Martin is expected to re-take the floor for a Heat team that's finally fully healthy. In December, Martin has averaged 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 34.1 minutes.
Dec 22, 2022
Deemed questionable Friday
Martin (ankle) is questionable Friday against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been unavailable for the last two games due to a sprained left ankle, but he participated in Thursday's practice session. Even if he's unavailable Friday, he appears to be trending in the right direction.
Dec 22, 2022
Practicing, still day-to-day
Martin (ankle) participated in Thursday's practice but still considers himself day-to-day, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed the previous two games with a left ankle sprain. While the 27-year-old forward said he is feeling better, he does not yet have an injury designation for Friday's game against the Pacers. If Martin doesn't suit up versus Indiana, his next opportunity to play is Monday's matchup with the Timberwolves.
Dec 20, 2022
Won't play Tuesday
Martin (ankle) won't lace up the sneakers for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Martin is scheduled for his second consecutive absence as he tends to a left ankle sprain. The fourth-year forward has been a staple in the starting lineup for the Heat this season, starting every game but two before Tuesday. He joins Kyle Lowry (knee) on the sidelines, so the Heat will again look deeper into the rotation for additional minutes.
Dec 19, 2022
Considered questionable
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Spurs but later downgraded to doubtful and eventually ruled out due to the ankle injury. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but it's at least encouraging to see him not listed as doubtful or out. When available, the versatile forward has been a key piece of Miami's rotation, posting 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.9 minutes per game.
Dec 17, 2022
Out Saturday
Martin (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Martin was deemed doubtful on the previous injury report. His absence does not figure to have much of an impact on the team's rotation. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Bulls.
Dec 17, 2022
Downgraded to doubtful
Martin (ankle) is now considered doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Martin appears slated to sit for just the second time all season, his only other absence coming Oct. 24 versus the Raptors. With Martin likely unavailable, more minutes should be open for Max Strus, Haywood Highsmith (quad), and Duncan Robinson, among others.
Dec 16, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Martin is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Martin was labeled questionable before Thursday's game as well before suiting up, so there is a recent history with which to refer. Either way, it's best to keep an eye out for the Heat's updated report prior to the opening tip Saturday.
Dec 15, 2022
Active Thursday
Martin (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's game against Houston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will play despite being listed as questionable due to left ankle soreness. With Kyle Lowry (rest) and Bam Adebayo (ankle) out Thursday, Martin could see increased usage within the Miami offense.
Dec 15, 2022
Nabs questionable tag Thursday
Martin is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Rockets due to left ankle irritation.
ANALYSIS
Martin joins a bevy of Heat players on the injury report, which has become a frequent occurrence. It remains to be seen how many players will be available Thursday, but Martin could be in for a heavy workload if he's one of them.
Dec 8, 2022
Returns to form
Martin accumulated 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Martin was coming off an ugly performance Tuesday against the Pistons (three points, three rebounds and one assist), but he looked much better shooting the ball in this one. He tallied 12 of his 17 points from beyond the arc and contributed more than usual on the glass. Martin is averaging 11.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals over 25 contests so far this year.
Dec 7, 2022
Logs another lackluster performance
Martin chipped in three points (1-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-96 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Martin posted 16 points during Monday's loss to the Grizzlies but failed to contribute in other categories. He lacked production in secondary categories once again Tuesday, but he was also held to a season-low three points while shooting just 14.3 percent from the floor. Over his last four appearances, the 27-year-old has averaged 9.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 29.0 minutes per game.
Dec 5, 2022
Empty line Monday
Martin closed Monday's 101-93 loss to the Grizzlies with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt) in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin scored in double-digits for the sixth consecutive game but failed to contribute outside of the points column. Although his role remains relatively consistent, his productivity has taken a hit over the past week as the Heat start to get their players back on the floor. He is fine to hold in deeper formats but for those in 12-team leagues, Martin is fine to release back into the wild.
Nov 30, 2022
Starting Wednesday
Martin (illness) is in the starting lineup Wednesday versus Boston.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin will resume his normal starting role despite being under the weather. Martin has averaged 21.3 points and 7.3 rebounds across his last three starts.
Nov 30, 2022
Expected to play Wednesday
Martin (illness) is expected to play Wednesday against the Celtics, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is questionable for Wednesday's matchup due to a non-COVID illness, but he's unlikely to miss time due to the issue. He's scored in double figures in seven of the last eight matchups and has averaged 16.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 39.5 minutes per game during that time.
Nov 29, 2022
Questionable Wednesday
Martin is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
Martin is questionable just his second game of the season Wednesday, as he has started in all 20 of his appearances. With so much of Miami's listed as questionable, it's hard to predict who would see extended minutes if Martin can't play. The 27-year-old forward's next chance to play will be Friday's game against the Celtics if he's unavailable Wednesday.
Nov 27, 2022
Puts together another strong game
Martin closed with 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Sunday's 106-98 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Martin looked sharp from the field and narrowly missed securing his first double-double of the season. He's now recorded a steal in each of his last four contests and has swatted away a shot in three of his last four. Martin's scoring impact is also worth noting, finishing with 20 or more points in three straight matchups.
Nov 27, 2022
Starting against Hawks
Martin (illness) is starting against the Hawks on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin will remain in the starting lineup despite the fact he experienced some illness-related symptoms Saturday. One of the few players that has not missed considerable time due to injuries in the Heat roster, Martin has started all but one game so far and has been on a roll of late, averaging 15.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per game over his previous seven contests, though it's worth noting the Heat have been quite depleted in that span.
Nov 27, 2022
Trending toward playing Sunday
The Heat have upgraded Martin (illness) from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
After landing on the Heat's injury report Saturday, Martin appears to have made at least some progress in his recovery from the ailment overnight. Martin has been one of the few paragons of health on the Miami roster this season, as he's suited up in all but one of the Heat's 20 games so far this season. He's taken on an increased role on the offensive end while Miami has been without several key players of late; he's averaging 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.3 three-pointers, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 39.3 minutes per game over the team's past seven contests.
Nov 26, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Martin (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat's extensive injury reports lately have thrust Martin into an expanded role. Over the past seven games, he's averaged 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 39.3 minutes. The Heat have five other players listed as questionable Sunday, so the relatively high usage may continue.
Nov 26, 2022
Steps up in win
Martin amassed 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 110-107 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Martin put forth an efficient and productive scoring night with Jimmy Butler (knee) and Max Strus (shoulder) out. Martin is averaging 10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19 games this season with a strong 47.4/39.7/76.9 percent shooting slash.
Nov 25, 2022
Giving it a go Friday
Martin (illness) will play Friday against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin entered the day listed as doubtful due to a non-COVID illness but given how shorthanded the Heat are, he will push through the sickness and suit up Friday. Although Martin may be physically limited, there will be no shortage of opportunities for him against Washington.
Nov 25, 2022
Upgraded to questionable
Martin (illness) is now questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was previously doubtful for the contest but considering the Heat's lengthy injury report, the team may be pressured to have Martin give it a go. With Jimmy Butler (knee), Max Strus (shoulder) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) already ruled out, Haywood Highsmith (hip), Hamal Cain (illness) and Nikola Jovic could be in line for extended run.
Nov 25, 2022
Doubtful Friday
Martin is doubtful for Friday's game against the Wizards due to an illness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami's injury report remains extensive, and fantasy managers should check to see who's available closer to tipoff. It could be another skeleton crew Friday.
Nov 23, 2022
Nearly secures first double-double
Martin totaled 24 points (10-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Martin fell one rebound shy of his first double-double this year, but he stuffed the stat sheet and had his shot locked in from the start. The Nevada product attempted a season-high nine shots from beyond the arc and rewarded his team by drilling four of them. Martin has scored in double figures in five of his last six games.
Nov 20, 2022
Remains productive in loss
Martin notched 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-87 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Martin scored a season-high 17 points and did his usual work on the glass and in the assist column. He continues to see an increased role while Jimmy Butler recovers from a knee injury, and an injury to Duncan Robinson (ankle) during Sunday's matchup could keep the opportunities coming.
Nov 19, 2022
Well-rounded line in big minutes
Martin (knee) contributed 12 points (3-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 47 minutes in Friday's 107-106 overtime loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The Heat having only seven players available due to either injuries or illnesses played a large part in Martin logging massive minutes Friday, but the fourth-year player nonetheless continued his trend of solid performances. Over his last three games, Martin is averaging 13.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 40.7 minutes per contest. Martin has typically served as a supporting-cast player this season, but he should see at least a slight bump in usage while Jimmy Butler (knee) is sidelined for at least the next two games.
Nov 18, 2022
Officially available Friday
Martin (knee) is available for Friday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Martin said Friday morning that he planned to play against the Wizards, and he's officially been cleared to play through his right knee tendinosis. The 27-year-old is averaging 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 29.6 minutes per game this year.
Nov 18, 2022
Plans to play Friday
Martin (knee) said he plans to play Friday against the Wizards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is officially listed as questionable for Friday's matchup due to right knee tendinosis, but he'll likely be able to suit up against Washington. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 35.0 minutes per game.
Nov 17, 2022
Nabs questionable tag Friday
Martin is considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Wizards due to right knee tendinosis, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has started all but one game this season for Miami due to a one-game suspension. However, Martin did miss time in the preseason because of a knee issue, which could be slightly concerning if this is in the same knee. His official status for Friday's tilt should surface on game day.
Nov 15, 2022
Well-rounded effort Monday
Martin chipped in 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 113-112 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Martin had his best game in over two weeks, chipping in across the board. He now sits just inside the top 140 for the season, theoretically making him a 12-team asset. However, a lack of voluminous production does make him a fringe target, at best. If he is available on your waiver wire, feel free to grab him on the off chance he can turn this into a string of nice performances.
Nov 11, 2022
Hits two threes in overtime win
Martin tallied nine points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 117-112 overtime win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin has now played over 30 minutes in back-to-back games. Martin has also started in all 11 of his appearance, largely due to his defensive contributions. The 27-year-old forward is averaging a career-high in minutes (27.9), rebounds (4.5), assists (1.5) and steals (1.3).
Nov 10, 2022
Available Thursday
Martin (quadriceps) will take the floor Thursday against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin came into Thursday questionable due to a right quadriceps contusion, but will be able to play against the Hornets. Martin has averaged 8.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 27.6 minutes per game for Miami this season.
Nov 9, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Martin is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets due to a right quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Martin played a season-high 35 minutes during Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, but he's apparently dealing with a quad issue ahead of Thursday's game. If he's unavailable against Charlotte, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus are candidates to see increased run.
Nov 1, 2022
Underwhelming effort Tuesday
Martin ended with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 116-109 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Martin saw just 19 minutes in the win as the Heat rode with the likes of Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson. This was merely an off night for Martin who has thus far been able to put up backend 12-team value. While his upside is far from exciting, he remains a player to consider if you are averse to high-volume contributions.
Oct 28, 2022
Cools off Thursday
Martin tallied eight points (3-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Martin has continued to receive nearly 30 minutes per game as one of the Heat's starting forwards. However, after shooting 7-of-8 from the field on Wednesday, Martin has shot below 50 percent every other game this season.
Oct 27, 2022
Best game of season thus far
Martin accumulated 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-98 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Martin returned to the starting unit following a one-game suspension and posted his best game of the campaign, missing just one shot from the field, ending two boards shy of a double-double and contributing solid passing and defensive stats. He's not expected to stuff the stat sheet like this on a regular basis, though this performance is more in line with what's expected out of him given he endured a rough start to the season in his first three contests, scoring in single digits in all of them.
Oct 26, 2022
Rejoins starting lineup
Martin will start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin will rejoin the starting unit Wednesday in his return from a one-game suspension. Max Strus will shift back to a bench role after drawing the start in Martin's place for Monday's loss to the Raptors.
Oct 23, 2022
Suspended one game
Martin has been suspended one game for his role in an altercation during Saturday's game against the Raptors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin started the first three games of the season, but he'll be unavailable for Monday's matchup against Toronto while serving his suspension. Duncan Robinson and Max Strus are candidates to see increased playing time in Martin's absence Monday.
Oct 12, 2022
Rejoins starting five
Martin (knee) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't played since the preseason opener due to a knee issue, but it appears he's back to full health as he joins the starting unit for Wednesday's preseason finale. Martin averaged 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game as a key reserve last season, and he could take on a bigger role in 2022-23 due to the departure of P.J. Tucker.
Oct 12, 2022
Ready to play Wednesday
Martin (knee) will rejoin the action Wednesday against the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin rejoined the team in practice Tuesday, foreshadowing his return to the lineup for Wednesday's affair. He could log considerable minutes off the bench and should play a sizable role when the regular season fires up next week as well.
Oct 11, 2022
Participates in practice Tuesday
Martin practiced Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin didn't play in Monday's exhibition game against Houston due to a knee issue, but the injury doesn't appear to be severe as he's returned to practice just a day after his absence. He'll have one more opportunity -- Wednesday against Pelicans -- to play in the preseason before the Heat opens the regular season against the Bulls on Oct. 19.
Oct 10, 2022
Expected to sit
Martin (knee) isn't starting and will likely sit out of Monday's exhibition against Houston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was previously listed as questionable due to a knee injury, but it appears the team will hold him out of this one. His next chance to return will arrive Wednesday against the Pelicans.
Oct 10, 2022
Questionable Monday
Martin (knee) is questionable for Monday's preseason game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Martin was a full participant in Sunday's practice session, but he'll still carry a questionable designation ahead of Miami's penultimate preseason game. If he's unable to play, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus will likely see increased run.
Oct 9, 2022
Puts in full practice
Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Martin (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been sidelined for both of Miami's last two preseason contests with right knee tendinitis, but he looks as though he'll be ready to for the Heat's penultimate exhibition contest Monday against the Rockets. The 27-year-old is pushing for a spot in the Heat's wing rotation to begin the season.
Oct 7, 2022
Out again Friday
Martin (knee) remains sidelined for Friday's preseason game versus the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is one of numerous Heat players sitting out, though Martin is also recovering from a knee injury. His next opportunity to suit up arrives Monday versus the Rockets.
Oct 6, 2022
Won't play Thursday
Martin has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Nets due to a knee issue, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin started Tuesday's preseason opener against the Timberwolves and totaled 12 points, three rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes of action. He'll remain on the sidelines for Miami's second preseason game as he tends to the knee injury, so his next chance to return will be for Friday's exhibition against the Grizzlies.
May 17, 2022
Will be available
Martin (ankle) will play in Tuesday's Game 1 against Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is one of several players who continues to land on the injury report despite not actually being injured. He could pick up a few minutes off the bench, but his role was fairly limited to close out the Heat's Round 2 series against Philly.
May 16, 2022
Shockingly lands on injury report
Martin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Martin was battling a sprained left ankle near the end of Miami's Round 1 series against Atlanta, and ever since then the team has insisted on keeping his name on the injury report. Martin is yet to miss any time, however, and there's no indication that he's still hampered by the injury.
May 12, 2022
Good to go Thursday
Martin (ankle) is available for Thursday's Game 6 at Philadelphia, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been listed as questionable for every game since Game 3 against the Hawks in the first round, and he's been cleared to play every time. In the current series, he's averaging 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.8 minutes.
May 11, 2022
Listed questionable
Martin (ankle) is listed questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is not actually injured, but he's one of several healthy players listed questionable nonetheless. Martin saw 11 minutes of action off the bench in Miami's Game 5 blowout win on Tuesday, and he finished with two points, two assists and two steals. The Nevada product was a DNP-CD in Game 4.
May 10, 2022
Will be available for Game 5
Martin (ankle) will be available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is one of several regulars who continues to appear on the injury report but does not appear to actually be injured. He picked up a DNP-CD in Sunday's Game 4.
May 9, 2022
Listed as questionable
Martin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was ruled available for Sunday's Game 4 after being listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but the backup wing didn't garner any playing time. Martin has seen his playing time dip in each game of the second-round series, so even if he's available, he likely won't have a hefty workload in Game 5.
May 8, 2022
Will play in Game 4
Martin (ankle) will be available for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was one of several players the Heat continue to list as questionable on a game-to-game basis, but there's been little reason to believe his status was ever in real jeopardy. Martin has played in every postseason game so far, but he saw only two minutes of action in Friday's Game 3 loss to Philly.
May 7, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Martin saw just two minutes in Game 3, which coincided with the return of Kyle Lowry (hamstring). Assuming Lowry is available again Sunday, Martin's role should continue being minimal.
May 6, 2022
Available for Game 3
Martin (ankle) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the 76ers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin is fine for Game 3 despite a sprained ankle. Kyle Lowry is making his return, however, meaning Martin could see a reduced role compared to the past four games
May 5, 2022
Questionable Friday
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 at Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Martin doesn't seem to be at any real risk of missing Game 3. He's seen increased usage across the past four games with Kyle Lowry (hamstring), who is questionable for Friday, out. Martin has averaged 6.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 18.5 minutes during this stretch.
May 4, 2022
Available for Game 2
Martin (ankle) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against Philadelphia, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin hasn't yet missed any postseason games, and he'll unsurprisingly be able to play through his injury once again Wednesday. The 26-year-old has averaged 4.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game since the start of the playoffs.
May 3, 2022
Back on injury report
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Martin has not missed any time during the playoffs, and he saw 21 minutes of action in Monday's Game 1, so it's unclear why the Heat insist on keeping his name on the injury report. At this stage, there's been no indication that Martin's status is in any real jeopardy.
May 2, 2022
Will play in Game 1
Martin (ankle) will be available for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was one of six Heat players listed as questionable coming into the day, but unsurprisingly all six have since been cleared to take the floor Monday night. Martin saw somewhat limited action in Round 1 against Atlanta, but he played a series-high 21 minutes in Game 5 when Miami was without Jimmy Butler. Butler is among the players who will return Monday, though Kyle Lowry (hamstring) will remain sidelined.
May 1, 2022
Questionable for Game 1
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was unable to practice Friday after playing through the ankle injury Game 5 against the Hawks, and he's officially questionable for the opener versus the Sixers. Martin appears likely to play, and his status should be updated again closer to Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.
Apr 29, 2022
Unable to practice Friday
Martin (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was listed as questionable for each of the last three games of the first round, but he was ultimately available for each contest. His absence from practice is likely precautionary, but his status will become cleared when Miami releases its first injury report.
Apr 26, 2022
Available for Game 5
Martin (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Hawks, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will be available once again after being listed as questionable in each of the last three contests. With Kyle Lowry (hamstring) out, the backup wing played 19 minutes in Game 4 -- his most during the series. Lowry remains sidelined, and the Heat are also going to be without Jimmy Butler (knee) on Tuesday, so it's possible Martin slides into the starting lineup for the potential closeout contest. Martin started 12 games during the regular season and averaged 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists during those contests.
Apr 25, 2022
Questionable for Game 5
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to be listed as questionable, but he's played in each game of the series. With Kyle Lowry (hamstring) out, the backup wing played 19 minutes -- his most during the series -- during Game 4, so it's possible he sees a similar role again Tuesday with Lowry already ruled out.
Apr 24, 2022
Available Sunday
Martin (ankle) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against Atlanta, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was questionable prior to Sunday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through his ankle injury. He's averaged just 1.7 points in 7.7 minutes per game in his first three postseason appearances this year.
Apr 23, 2022
Questionable for Game 4
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 at Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Martin has played only 23 minutes in the series so far. However, he could see elevated run Sunday, as Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is questionable after failing to practice Saturday. More information on both players' statuses should arrive closer to tipoff.
Apr 22, 2022
Available Friday
Martin (ankle) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Martin came into Friday nursing a sprained left ankle, but he and the rest of the Heat players with injury designations are officially good to go for Game 3, head coach Eric Spoelstra confirmed. Martin is averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.9 minutes per game this season.
Apr 21, 2022
Questionable for Game 3
Martin is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Hawks due to a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Martin presumably suffered the injury in Game 2, where he played 17 minutes and posted three points, two steals and one block. If he misses Game 3, more minutes could be in store for Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent (toe) or Victor Oladipo, who has yet to appear in the series.
Apr 9, 2022
Modest production in win
Martin ended Friday's 113-109 win over Atlanta with eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin was questionable heading into the contest with a calf injury, but he ended up drawing the start with P.J. Tucker (calf) out. However, he was relatively uninvolved during the narrow win. Over his last eight appearances, the third-year wing has averaged 7.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per game.
Apr 8, 2022
Starting Friday
Martin (calf) is starting Friday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Martin dealt with a calf injury ahead of Friday's matchup, but he'll join the starting lineup in place of P.J. Tucker (calf). Across 11 starts this year, Martin has averaged 14.2 points and 5.5 rebounds in 32.3 minutes per game.
Apr 8, 2022
Expected to play
Martin (calf) is expected to play Friday against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Barring a setback in warmups, Martin will be good to go. Over his past seven appearances, he's averaged 7.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in 22.4 minutes.
Apr 7, 2022
One of several questionable players
Martin (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Miami has six players listed as questionable for Friday's game, so it's unclear who will sit and who could end up benefiting. Martin finished Tuesday's win over Charlotte with 12 points and three rebounds in 26 minutes.
Apr 6, 2022
Solid production off bench
Martin finished Tuesday's 144-115 victory over the Hornets with 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to deal with a calf injury, but he's suited up for each of Miami's past two games. However, he operated off the bench Tuesday after starting Sunday's win over the Raptors. Surprisingly, the third-year wing was more productive operating off the bench than he was during his start. Regardless, his role figures to diminish once again when Kyle Lowry (rest) returns to the rotation.
Apr 5, 2022
Expected to play
Martin (calf) is expected to play Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Assuming things go as expected in warm-ups, Martin will take the floor for a second straight game and should see increased usage due to the absence of Kyle Lowry (rest). In Martin's 11 appearances since the start of March, he's averaged 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes.
Apr 4, 2022
Back on injury report
Martin (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed back-to-back games due to the calf injury, but he returned to action Sunday and played 26 minutes as a starter. It's unclear what Miami's rotation will look like Tuesday, as six players are currently listed as questionable.
Apr 3, 2022
In starting five
Martin will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
With P.J. Tucker (knee) and Jimmy Butler (toe) sidelined, the Heat will use yet another new lineup and roll with Bam Adebayo, Markieff Morris, Martin, Max Strus and Kyle Lowry. This will mark Martin's return from a three-game absence due to a calf injury.
Apr 3, 2022
Available Sunday
Martin (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed back-to-back games due to the calf issue and was cleared for action Saturday but he never saw the court despite being listed as healthy. He'll have a better chance of cracking the rotation Sunday, as Jimmy Butler (toe), Gabe Vincent (toe) and P.J. Tucker (knee) have all been ruled out.
Apr 3, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Martin (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed back-to-back games due to the calf issue and was cleared for action Saturday, but he never saw the court despite being listed as healthy. If remains sidelined for a fourth straight game, expect Duncan Robinson and Victor Oladipo to garner increased roles.
Apr 2, 2022
Cleared for Saturday
Martin (calf) is available Saturday against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will make his return following a two-game absence. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 7.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 21.0 minutes.
Apr 1, 2022
Iffy for Saturday
Martin (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed back-to-back games due to the calf issue, but he has a chance to play Saturday after returning to practice Friday. Max Strus (shoulder) and Gabe Vincent (toe) are also questionable, so Miami's wing depth may be tested against Chicago.
Apr 1, 2022
Practices Friday
Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Martin (calf) practiced Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed back-to-back games due to a calf injury, but his return to practice is a step in the right direction. His status for Saturday's contest against the Bulls will likely become clearer when Miami releases its official injury report.
Mar 30, 2022
Out at Boston
Martin (calf) is out Wednesday against the Celtics, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
A bruised right calf will keep Martin out for a second straight game. Duncan Robinson, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent are candidates to see extra minutes.
Mar 29, 2022
Questionable for Wednesday's game
Martin (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Martin picked up the calf injury during Saturday's loss to the Nets and was sidelined for the subsequent contest. If he's ruled out for a second consecutive game, Max Strus -- who started Monday's game in place of a healthy Duncan Robinson -- figures to garner extended run once again.
Mar 28, 2022
Won't play Monday
Martin (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Martin picked up a calf injury during Saturday's loss to the Nets and he'll miss Monday's tilt with Sacramento as a result. Max Strus could see additional run in his absence. Martin's next chance to return to the court will come Wednesday against Boston.
Mar 27, 2022
Dealing with calf injury
Martin is questionable for Monday's contest against the Kings due to a right calf contusion.
ANALYSIS
Martin went into Saturday's contest against the Nets with a lingering knee issue, but he apparently picked up a calf issue as well. He's one of four Heat players questionable for Monday, so it's unclear what Miami's rotation will look like until there's further clarity on who's available.
Mar 26, 2022
Suiting up Saturday
Martin (knee) will play Saturday against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is still being slowed by a knee injury, but he will suit up for a fifth straight game Saturday and figures to play a role off the bench.
Mar 26, 2022
Questionable again Saturday
Martin (knee) is listed as questionable to face Brooklyn at home on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been dealing with the left knee issue for most of the month, though he has been able to participate in each of Miami's past four games. Tyler Herro (knee) is also questionable for the contest, and more minutes would be available for Max Strus and and Duncan Robinson if either Martin or Herro is unable to play.
Mar 25, 2022
Cleared to play
Martin (knee) is available Friday against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will appear in a fourth straight game despite left knee soreness. He could see extra run with both Tyler Herro (knee) and Victor Oladipo (knee) out.
Mar 24, 2022
Questionable Friday
Martin (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Martin is still dealing with a hyperextended left knee, but he's played in the past three games. Miami has a handful of questionable players for Friday, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on the injury report.
Mar 23, 2022
Will warm up with intent to play
Martin (knee) will warm up with the intent to play Wednesday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Martin isn't officially available, but he's trending that direction. He could see increased run with Tyler Herro (knee) and Gabe Vincent (toe) ruled out.
Mar 22, 2022
Listed as questionable Wednesday
Martin (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Martin has played through his injury in each of the past two games and has averaged 12.5 points in 24.5 minutes. Barring any major setbacks prior to tipoff Wednesday, the guard has a good chance at playing in a third straight matchup.
Mar 21, 2022
Available Monday
Martin (knee) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was officially labeled questionable for Monday's contest, though it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up given he said he would play earlier in the day. The 26-year-old returned from a three-game absence Friday against Oklahoma City and had 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes.
Mar 21, 2022
Says he'll play Monday
Martin (knee) is expected to play Monday against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Although he's still officially listed as questionable on Miami's injury report, it appears Martin expects to play Monday against Philadelphia. With Jimmy Butler (ankle) also planning to return to the lineup, Max Strus could see slightly less minutes if both Martin and Butler are available.
Mar 20, 2022
Iffy for Monday's contest
Martin (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Martin started in place of Jimmy Butler (ankle) on Friday and totaled 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes. Both Butler and Martin are questionable Monday, so Max Strus may be in line for an increased role if one or both of the aforementioned players is sidelined.
Mar 19, 2022
Returns with 11 points
Martin provided 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Friday's 120-108 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Playing for the first time since March 9 after missing three games, Martin was back in the mix and very much involved off the bench. He's moved into a larger role than expected this season, though the fact that the Heat are seemingly always missing at least one rotation piece has helped his cause.
Mar 18, 2022
Active against Thunder
Martin (knee) is available for Friday's game against Oklahoma City, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed the last three games with a knee injury but returned to practice Thursday. He could see increased run against the Thunder since Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled out.
Mar 17, 2022
Questionable Friday
Martin (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS

Mar 17, 2022
Practices Thursday
Martin (knee) took part in Thursday's practice, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed the last three games with a hyperextended left knee, but his return to the court Thursday is a very encouraging sign. He's still considered questionable for Friday's game against OKC but is moving in the right direction.
Mar 14, 2022
Won't play Tuesday
Martin (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Martin is slated to miss a third straight contest since hyperextending his left knee March 9. In his absence, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent figure to have increased roles once again.
Mar 14, 2022
Not practicing Monday
Martin (knee) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed the last two games after hyperextending his left knee on Mar. 9, and while Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said that he "definitely is making progress", he ultimately wasn't able to practice Monday. If Martin remains sidelined Tuesday against the Pistons, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent could be in line for extra minutes.
Mar 12, 2022
Out vs. Wolves
Martin (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is out for a second straight game. Victor Oladipo (knee) and Jimmy Butler (toe) are also sidelined.

Mar 10, 2022
Questionable Friday
Martin (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin sustained a hyperextended left knee during Wednesday's loss to the Suns, but it's encouraging that he's listed as questionable ahead of Friday's matchup. Even if he's forced to sit out against the Cavaliers, it appears as though he's avoided a major injury.
Mar 9, 2022
Dealing with hyperextended knee
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Martin suffered a hyperextended left knee during Wednesday's 111-90 loss to the Suns and will be further evaluated Thursday, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Martin's availability for Friday's game against Cleveland is now in significant question. The 26-year-old has played a significant role off the bench of late for the Heat with averages of 10.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.5 minutes.
Mar 9, 2022
Leaves with knee injury
Martin won't return to Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a left knee injury, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin played 10 minutes and had two points (1-5 FG), three rebounds, one steal and two blocks before exiting with the injury. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, and he should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers until the team updates his status.
Mar 9, 2022
Available Wednesday
Martin (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin continued to deal with a sore left Achilles ahead of Wednesday's game, but he'll be able to play through the issue once again. Across his last four appearances, he's averaged 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 24.8 minutes per game.
Mar 8, 2022
Questionable again Wednesday
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to be bothered by a sore left Achilles, but he's suited up for seven straight contests and has played 20-plus minutes in six of those games. Over his last four appearances, the backup win has averaged 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 24.8 minutes, but if available, his production will likely dip with Kyle Lowry and Victor Oladipo back in the mix.
Mar 7, 2022
Expected to play Monday
Martin (Achilles) is warming up with the intention of playing in Monday's contest against the Rockets, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Mar 4, 2022
Shines against Brooklyn
Martin had 22 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 113-107 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Martin was one of Miami's best players despite coming off the bench and made his presence felt on both ends of the court, though his scoring figures certainly jumped off the page. This was the third time Martin scored over 20 points this season, and he's averaging 10.6 points while shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from three over his last 10 contests.
Mar 3, 2022
Available Thursday
Martin (Achilles) is available Thursday against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Mar 3, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been dealing with left Achilles soreness recently, but he's been able to suit up in each of the last four games. If he's available Thursday, he could see increased playing time since Jimmy Butler (toe) is questionable.
Mar 2, 2022
Available Wednesday
Martin (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin continues to deal with left Achilles soreness ahead of Wednesday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through the issue once again. Kyle Lowry (personal) is out against the Bucks, so Martin could see an uptick in usage.
Mar 1, 2022
Questionable for Wednesday's game
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is back on the injury report Tuesday with left Achilles soreness. The backup wing missed five contests in February due to the issue, but he's been able to suit up for three straight contests. With Kyle Lowry (personal) out, Martin may be in line for increased usage if he's cleared to play.
Feb 28, 2022
Available Monday
Martin (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against Chicago, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was questionable ahead of Monday's matchup due to left Achilles soreness, but he'll be able to play through the issue against the Bulls. Across his two appearances since returning to the court, he's averaged 4.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game.
Feb 27, 2022
Questionable for Monday's contest
Martin is questionable for Monday's contest against the Bulls due to left Achilles soreness.
ANALYSIS
Martin was held scoreless across 29 minutes during Saturday's win over the Spurs and may have aggravated his Achilles injury. The backup wing has already missed five games in February due to the same issue, so the Heat will likely be cautious moving forward.
Feb 26, 2022
Back in action Friday
Martin (Achilles) played 16 minutes off the bench Friday in the Heat's 115-100 win over the Knicks, finishing with eight points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist.
ANALYSIS
Martin was back in action after missing the Heat's last four games prior to the All-Star break with a sore left Achilles' tendon. Though Martin was upgraded from a two-way contract to a standard NBA deal earlier this month after impressing while taking on a more prominent role in the rotation, the Heat's relative health on the wing entering the second half resulted in the 26-year-old taking on a minor role off the bench Friday. Martin could be at risk of losing his spot in the rotation if Victor Oladipo (knee) is cleared to make his season debut in March, as expected.
Feb 24, 2022
Available Friday
Martin (Achilles) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
After four straight missed games, Martin will return following the All-Star break. He could be eased back into a normal workload. Since the New Year, he's averaged 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.7 minutes.
Feb 17, 2022
Out Thursday
Martin (Achilles) is out Thursday against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Feb 16, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin was active for Tuesday's game against Dallas but didn't take the court. Even if he's active once again Thursday, it's not yet clear whether he'll play.
Feb 15, 2022
Active, won't play
Martin (Achilles) is technically active for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks but will not play.
ANALYSIS
The Heat are using the term "active scratch" to describe Martin's status, so it looks like he'll dress and technically be available, but he won't be a part of Erik Spoelstra's rotation.
Feb 15, 2022
Signs for rest of season
The Heat signed Martin (Achilles) to a full NBA contract for the remainder of the season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin, who is currently sidelined due to a sore left Achilles, made 44 appearances (10) starts while under a two-way contract with Miami. However, the third-year wing has impressed during his first campaign with the Heat and has been awarded a full contract for his efforts. On the season, he's averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.9 minutes per game, but as a starter, Martin's averages jump to 15.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists.
Feb 14, 2022
Questionable for Tuesday's contest
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Mavericks, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has missed back-to-back games due to left Achilles soreness. If he's unable to suit up, more minutes should be available for Max Strus and Gabe Vincent.
Feb 12, 2022
Out vs. Nets
Martin (Achilles) is out Saturday against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss a second straight game as he continues to deal with left Achilles soreness. More minutes should be available for Max Strus and Gabe Vincent.

Questionable Saturday
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's game against Brooklyn, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Feb 10, 2022

ANALYSIS
As expected, Martin will be sidelined after being downgraded multiple times throughout the day. Max Strus and Gabe Vincent figure to see more minutes.
Feb 10, 2022
Unlikely to play Thursday
Martin (Achilles) is "most likely sitting out" Thursday against the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Earlier, Martin was downgraded from probable to questionable, and another downgrade to out will presumably occur before tipoff. An absence for Martin could result in increased usage for Max Strus and Gabe Vincent.
Feb 10, 2022
Downgraded to questionable
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Martin was initially considered probable for Thursday's matchup, but he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of the game. If he's unable to suit up, Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent and Kyle Guy could see increased playing time.
Feb 9, 2022
Probable at New Orleans
Martin (Achilles) is probable for Thursday's matchup against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Despite some persistent Achilles soreness, Martin is expected to play. Over his past 13 appearances, he's averaged 10.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.5 minutes.
Feb 7, 2022
Scores 15 off bench
Martin had 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and three assists in 21 minutes during Monday's 121-100 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Martin was one of eight Heat players with double-digit scoring. Monday marked an offensive free-for-all for Miami, as Washington allowed them to shoot 56.6 percent from the field and a whopping 56.3 percent (18-of-32) from three. Efficient himself, Martin will carry a solid 50.3/36.6/73.1 percent shooting slash into Thursday's contest against the Pelicans.
Feb 7, 2022
Will play Monday
Martin (Achilles) will play Monday against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
A sore left Achilles landed Martin on the initial injury report, but he'll push through it and be available off the bench. With no Tyler Herro (knee), Martin will battle Gabe Vincent and Max Strus for increased minutes off the bench.
Feb 7, 2022
Expected to play Monday
Martin (Achilles) is expected to play Monday against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was sidelined for one game due to left Achilles soreness, but he returned to action Saturday, totaling eight points and eight rebounds in 24 minutes of action. He's officially listed as questionable, but barring a setback, he's expected to suit up once again. He may see an increased role with Tyler Herro (knee) sidelined.
Feb 6, 2022
Questionable for Monday's contest
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Martin was sidelined for one game due to left Achilles soreness, but he returned to action Saturday, totaling eight points and eight rebounds in 24 minutes of action. Barring a setback, he'll likely garner a similar role Monday.

Expects to play Saturday
Martin (Achilles) is expected to play in Saturday's matchup with the Hornets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Feb 4, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Martin (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin sat out Thursday's win over the Spurs due to the left Achilles soreness. He may be on a minutes limit if available Saturday.
Feb 3, 2022
Ruled out Thursday
Martin (Achilles) is out Thursday against the Spurs, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin was questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup due to left Achilles soreness, and he'll be unable to play through the issue. Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson should handle increased roles against San Antonio.
Feb 2, 2022
Questionable vs. Spurs
Martin is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to left Achilles soreness.
ANALYSIS
Martin registered seven points, one rebound and one steal across 14 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Raptors, but it appears he picked up some Achilles soreness despite the limited court-time. With Jimmy Butler (toe) and P.J. Tucker (knee) also listed as questionable for Thursday, more minutes could be available for Tyler Herro or Max Strus if any of the three are ruled out.
Feb 2, 2022
Quiet night in loss
Martin recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
With Jimmy Butler (toe) and PJ Tucker (knee) back in the starting lineup following one-game absences, Martin was relegated to the bench. Tyler Herro and Max Strus both saw more playing time than Martin during the contest, which doesn't bode well for his fantasy prospects moving forward. As a reserve this season, Martin is averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 19.9 minutes per game.
Jan 31, 2022
Rejoins starting five
Martin will start Monday's game versus the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has come off the bench the past nine games but will return to the lineup with Jimmy Butler (ankle), Kyle Lowry (personal) and P.J. Tucker (knee) out Monday. Martin averaged 15.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 33.7 minutes in his nine previous starts this season.
Jan 20, 2022
Shines off bench in win
Martin totaled 26 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Martin had a seven-game stretch in which he was a starter averaging 13.1 points per game, but he's returned to the bench in his last four appearances -- though his productivity remains noteworthy. While he's not very consistent on a game-to-game basis, it's worth noting Martin can light it up on any given night. In fact, this 26-point output was his second-best scoring effort of the season -- and his best scoring tally when coming off the bench.
Jan 15, 2022
Stands tall in Saturday's loss
Martin closed with 16 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 17 minutes during Saturday's 109-98 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Martin was one of only two Heat players to shoot over 50 percent in the loss, delivering a well-rounded performance despite playing just 17 minutes. After a brief period of relevance, Martin has now slipped back in the rotation and should be viewed as a deeper league asset only moving forward.
Jan 13, 2022
Records double-double Wednesday
Martin closed with 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and 10 rebounds over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-91 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Martin has been starting regularly of late and has been productive, scoring in double digits in each of his last six appearances. Since moving to the starting unit seven contests ago, the former Nevada standout is averaging 13.1 points while hitting 51.4 percent of his shots and 34.5 percent of his treys.
Jan 4, 2022
Flirts with double-double
Martin had 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 115-108 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Martin has started four consecutive games and is thriving in the tole. Over the four starts, he's averaging 13.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals. Martin appears to be the preferred starter at the wing over Duncan Robinson.
Jan 3, 2022
Across the board numbers in loss
Martin notched 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 115-113 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Martin played 33 minutes as a starter Sunday, seeing a nice boost due to the hefty number of player absences. It was a nice performance for Martin, rewarding anyone who managed to stream him in. The long-term prospects are not anything to get too excited about but for now, he has nice 12-team appeal as a player who can chip in across the board when playing a significant role.
Dec 28, 2021
Starting Tuesday
Martin will start Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
With Max Strus entering protocols, Martin will join the starting five. In his two previous starts, he's averaged 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
Dec 26, 2021
Returns to action with 17 points
Martin chipped in 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 93-83 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Martin came off the bench after missing seven games due to the league's health and safety protocols. He logged three consecutive double-digit scoring totals before be=ing sidelined, and he appears to be picking up where he left off. Kyle Lowry's (COVID-19 Protocols) absence will continue to give Martin more opportunity in the coming days.
Dec 26, 2021
Solid shooting in return
Martin (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) produced 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in Sunday's 93-83 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Thanks to some red-hot shooting from the field and elevated playing time in part because of Tyler Herro's ejection, Martin enjoyed a successful return from a seven-game absence. Though Martin will see an uptick in fantasy value while the Heat are down six players due to injury or COVID-19 health and safety protocols, his minutes may drop in the lower 20s or high teens when Herro is able to finish the game. Martin is best viewed as an option in deeper leagues or as a steamer as the Heat head into a four-game week.
Dec 25, 2021
Off injury report
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Martin should be available for Sunday's game, which is just in time since Kyle Lowry was placed in protocols Saturday. Martin is in the midst of a career year with averages of 7.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.6 minutes.
Dec 24, 2021
Clears protocols
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) has passed through protocols and may be available for Sunday's matchup against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is in the midst of the best season of his career and saw increased run before being placed into protocols. As long as Jimmy Butler (tailbone) remains shelved, Martin should see increased usage. In his past six appearances, he's averaged 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 28.8 minutes.
Dec 16, 2021
Out Friday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) is out Friday against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports
ANALYSIS
Martin remains in protocols. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Pistons.
Dec 14, 2021
Out again Wednesday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as out for Wednesday's contest against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss his third straight game due to health and safety protocols. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and KZ Okpala are all candidates for increased playing time during Martin's absence.
Dec 11, 2021
Enters protocols
Martin has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and is out Saturday against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
This is harsh timing for the Heat, who are down Jimmy Butler (back), Markieff Morris (neck) and Bam Adebayo (thumb). Martin has been stepping up over the past six games with averages of 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists. In his absence Saturday, more minutes should be available for Gabe Vincent, Max Stus and KZ Okpala.
Dec 9, 2021
Goes off for 28 points
Martin accumulated 28 points (9-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
With Jimmy Butler out, Martin drew his second start of the season Wednesday and exploded for a season high in points, rebounds and three-pointers. The third-year guard has been a key contributor for the Heat recently as he has now scored in double-figures in five of the last six games while averaging 14.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in that stretch. Martin figures to continue getting plenty of opportunities offensively as long as he keeps up this efficiency.
Dec 8, 2021
Starting Wednesday
Martin (knee) will play and start Wednesday against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Coach Erik Spoelstra will opt to send Tyler Herro to the bench while giving Martin the nod for just his second start of the season. In seven games this season where Martin has seen at least 24 minutes, he's averaged 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 assists.
Dec 7, 2021
Dealing with knee injury
Martin (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin has scored in double figures in four of his last five games, but he appears to have picked a knee injury that may sideline him. In 22 NBA appearances, the two-way wing is averaging 6.7 points and 3.0 rebounds across 18.9 minutes per game. If he is unable to suit up, then Gabe Vincent and KZ Okpala would be the most likely candidates for increased playing time.
Dec 1, 2021
Moves back to bench
Martin will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
With Tyler Herro (rest) rejoining the starting five, Martin will shift back to a reserve role. He's averaging 5.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game this season.
Nov 29, 2021
Starting versus Denver
Martin will start Monday's game against the Nuggets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old will make his first start with Miami since Jimmy Butler (back) and Tyler Herro (rest) are sidelined Monday. Martin has averaged 5.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.4 minutes off the bench this season, but he should see more run against Denver.
Nov 25, 2021
Logs just 13 minutes Wednesday
Martin had one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 113-101 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Martin offered very little in terms of production Wednesday, something that has been a trend thus far. While he is an every night part of the rotation, there just isn't enough meat on the bone for Martin, given the talent ahead of him. He can be ignored in most leagues at this point.
Nov 18, 2021
Good to go Thursday
Martin (ankle) is available Thursday against the Wizards, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
With Tyler Herro (wrist) sidelined, Martin could be in line for extra usage. Over the past seven games, he's averaged 6.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 17.1 minutes.
Nov 18, 2021
Labeled as questionable
Martin (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Martin played through thumb injury Wednesday against the Pelicans and logged 12 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes. However, he's now dealing with a sprained right ankle ahead of Thursday's matchup.
Nov 17, 2021
Provides well-rounded line
Martin recorded 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 113-98 win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Martin saw his most playing time since Oct. 30 in the blowout victory, and he complemented his offensive output with a pair of steals. The 26-year-old is solid piece at the back end of Miami's rotation but doesn't offer much fantasy appeal given his limited role.
Nov 9, 2021
Probable with thumb sprain
Martin is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Lakers due to a sprained left thumb.
ANALYSIS
Martin has seen an increased role lately after not being part of the rotation earlier in the year. Over the past five games, he's averaging 5.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 16.2 minutes.
Oct 11, 2021
Gets preseason start
Martin is starting Monday's preseason game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Martin will get a chance to show what he can do in the preseason as he continues to fight for a role in Miami's rotation. He starts alongside Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, P.J. Tucker and Bam Adebayo.
Oct 8, 2021
Remains out Friday
Martin (ankle) is out Friday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss a second straight preseason game with a sprained right ankle. His next chance to play is Monday against the Hornets.
Oct 7, 2021
Out Thursday
Martin (ankle) will not play Thursday against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is still battling a sprained right ankle, so he'll be held out as the Heat head into the first half of a back-to-back. Martin should be considered very much questionable for Friday's game at San Antonio.
Oct 6, 2021
Questionable Thursday
Martin is questionable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Rockets due to a sprained right ankle.
ANALYSIS
Martin played 19 minutes in the preseason opener, and he posted 11 points, three assists, three blocks, two rebounds nad one steal. However, he might have to sit out Thursday.
Aug 7, 2021
Waived by Hornets
Martin was waived by the Hornets on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin is a casualty to the Hornets' current roster overhaul. He averaged 4.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals across 17.5 minutes in 100 games during his two-year stint with the team.
May 13, 2021
Adds nine points off bench
Martin registered nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one assist across 17 minutes during Thursday's 113-90 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Martin rebounded from a scoreless effort Tuesday as he provided some scoring pop off the bench in the blowout loss. However, he failed to secure a single rebound for the second-consecutive contest.
May 13, 2021
Will play Thursday
Martin (thumb) will play Thursday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Martin had been listed as questionable, but he'll be available for his seventh game in a row despite a dislocated left thumb. Over the last five games, he's averaging 6.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steal per game.
May 12, 2021
Questionable Thursday
Martin is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Clippers due to a dislocated left thumb, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin could still play through the injury Thursday. However, with Devonte' Graham back in the rotation, Martin's role will probably be reduced even if he's available.
May 6, 2021
Not starting Thursday
Martin isn't starting Thursday's game against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin had joined the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup and recorded 17 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes. He could see increased playing time again Thursday with his brother Cody Martin (ankle) unavailable, but P.J. Washington will rejoin the starting lineup against Chicago.
May 4, 2021
Takes advantage of increased role
Martin scored 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Martin saw a big uptick in minutes with his brother Cody Martin sidelined by an ankle injury. Despite poor shooting from beyond the arc, he managed to match his season-best mark with 17 points. He also contributed well on the defensive end of the floor, something that could continue if Cody is forced to miss further game action.
May 4, 2021
Starting Tuesday
Martin will start Tuesday's contest against the Pistons, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With his brother Cody sidelined due to an ankle injury, Caleb will get the nod Tuesday. It's just his third start of the season. In his two previous starts, he averaged 11.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals in 29.5 minutes.
Apr 14, 2021
Back to bench
Martin will come off the bench Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
With Terry Rozier (knee) back in the starting five, Martin will resume his usual role off the bench. In the eight games leading up to his start, he averaged 2.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 11.5 minutes.
Apr 14, 2021
Double-double in start
Martin totaled 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal in a 101-93 loss to the Lakers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Martin had a strong, all-around performance starting in place of Terry Rozier (knee), who was out of the lineup. The guard recorded a new career-high rebound total, which also led to his first double-double of his career. Despite the strong outing, Martin isn't a recommended streaming candidate, as he was shooting just 22.2 percent from the field in the four games prior to Tuesday's contest.
Apr 13, 2021
Starting vs. Lakers
Martin will get the start Tuesday night against the Lakers, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin will fill in for Terry Rozier (knee) as the Hornets roll out their 15th unique starting lineup of the season. With LaMelo Ball (wrist), Malik Monk (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (foot) also out, Martin will likely be looking at a decent boost in minutes. Over his last seven games, Martin has averaged 12.7 minutes off the bench, and he's shooting just 25.9 percent from the floor in that span.
Mar 30, 2021
Totals seven points off bench
Martin recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two assists during Tuesday's win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Martin registered his highest scoring total since March 17 against Denver, as the guard registered at least seven points for an 11th time this season. Martin's 16 minutes of action were also the most he has played across the past 12 Hornets' games.
Mar 1, 2021
Gets limited run in return
Martin (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) returned to action in Sunday's 127-126 win over the Kings, finishing with no points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist in four minutes.
ANALYSIS
Martin was available for the first time in two and a half weeks after missing the Hornets' last six games while waiting to clear the NBA's health and safety protocol. The second-year wing could see his playing time ramp up slightly from what he received Sunday, but he won't be a lock to stick in the rotation once the likes of Devonte' Graham (kneecap), Gordon Hayward (hand) and Cody Zeller (hip) return from injuries.
Feb 28, 2021
Available to return Sunday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) will play Sunday against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Martin had already been ruled out for Sunday, but the team provided an update that he would in fact be active and available after clearing the league's health and safety protocols. Martin has missed the last six games, but he should have a role in Sunday's game with Gordon Hayward (hand) considered doubtful.
Feb 27, 2021
Out Sunday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) is out Sunday against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Health and safety protocols will keep Martin out for the seventh straight game. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Trail Blazers.
Feb 25, 2021
Sidelined again Friday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) will not play in Friday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Martin will remain sidelined for the sixth game in a row as he's still in the league's health and safety protocols. The 25-year-old's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Kings.
Feb 23, 2021
Out again Wednesday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game at Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old will be sidelined for a fifth straight contest as he remains in the NBA's health and safety protocols. Martin's next chance to rejoin the team will be Friday at Golden State.
Feb 21, 2021
To remain out Monday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) will not play in Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Martin will stay away from the team for his fourth game in row as he remains in the league's health and safety protocols. The 25-year-old wing had been averaging 5.6 points across 15.8 minutes per game prior to being sidelined.
Feb 19, 2021
Out Saturday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) is out Saturday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss a third straight game due to health and safety protocols. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Jazz.
Feb 13, 2021
Remains out Sunday
Martin (COVID-19 protocols) won't play Sunday against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Martin will miss a second straight game due to COVID-19 protocols. Malik Monk could see increased run for the Hornets once again Sunday.
Feb 12, 2021
Out Friday
Martin is out Friday against the Timberwolves due to health and safety protocols, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Both Caleb and his brother Cody will not play Friday due to COVID-19 protocols. In their absences, Malik Monk is a strong candidate to see extra run.
Feb 9, 2021
Adds seven off bench
Martin scored seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3PT) and collected three rebounds along with two steals, an assist and a block in 27 minutes Monday against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Martin shot under 50 percent from the field, but he contributed across the board in the 119-94 victory. The Nevada product hasn't scored in double figures since Jan. 9 against Atlanta, though he typically supplies value in the rebounding category, averaging four boards in his last five games.
Jan 16, 2021
Returns to bench Saturday
Martin will come off the bench Saturday against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old had five points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3PT, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 24 minutes Thursday against Toronto, but Gordon Hayward (hip) will rejoin the starting five Saturday. Martin is averaging 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.1 minutes as a reserve this season.
Jan 14, 2021
Wastes extra minutes in loss
Martin recorded five points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3PT, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 24 minutes in the 111-108 loss to Charlotte on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Martin became one of the main beneficiaries after teammate Gordon Hayward was ruled out prior to lock in the loss Thursday. However, the guard could not find his shooting rhythm to save his life. He went an abysmal 10 percent from the floor, but did make up some of the production in other departments. It is unclear how long Hayward will be out, but in the time he is, Martin will see extra minutes moving forward.
Jan 14, 2021
To start for Hayward
Martin will start Thursday's game against Toronto in place of Gordon Hayward (hip).
ANALYSIS
Martin will get the nod at small forward with Terry Rozier and Devonte' Graham in the backcourt. Martin has three double-digit scoring games in 11 appearances off the bench this season.
Jan 10, 2021
Goes for season-high 15 points
Martin tallied 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 17 minutes during a win over the Hawks on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Martin scored in double figures for the third time this season as he reached his season high in scoring and gathered at least one steal for the seventh time across his nine games played so far this year. In his backup role, the 25-year-old wing is averaging 7.2 points on 53.1 percent shooting, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.9 steals across 15.2 minutes per contest.
Jan 7, 2021
Does little in win
Martin tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 15 minutes of Wednesday's 102-94 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Other than one game earlier this season during which he only played five minutes and attempted just one shot, this qualifies as Martin's worst outing of the season. Despite the off night, the 25-year-old is still slightly ahead of his 6.2 points per game from his rookie season as this year's rate sits at 6.6 after this outing.
Mar 12, 2020
Brilliant again off bench
Martin produced 19 points (4-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, four steals and three assists in 35 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Hornets' 109-98 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Twin brother Cody has been the more consistent member of the Charlotte rotation this season, but it's been Caleb who has attracted more of the attention lately. After scoring no more than 12 points in any of his first 16 outings with Charlotte, Martin has churned out 42 over the past two games. He's also offered value on the defensive end, racking up seven steals and two blocks between the contests. He was helped by Terry Rozier (illness) sitting out Wednesday, but Martin may have at least earned himself a temporary 20-plus-minute role whenever the Hornets and the league's other 29 teams return to action.
Mar 9, 2020
Nearly doubles career high scoring
Martin finished with 23 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two blocks and three steals in 37 minutes of a 143-138 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Martin fell one point shy of doubling his scoring high in his team's double overtime loss before he fouled out of the contest. The rookie has quietly built up his role on the team in the last few weeks since the call up, and with so much in flux for the Hornets, it's possible he could continue to grow his role as long as he keeps improving.
Mar 3, 2020
Scores career-high 12
Martin totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 104-103 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Martin has reached double figures in scoring twice in the last five games. Moreover, he has seen 20-plus minutes in six of his last nine appearances. Nevertheless, Martin is merely a dart throw in daily leagues.
Feb 25, 2020
Scores 11
Martin had 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and a block in 26 minutes Tuesday, as the Hornets fell to the Pacers 119-80.
ANALYSIS
Martin's 11 points marked a career-high, as did the 26 minutes. In what became an extreme display of garbage-time minutes, Martin displayed a hint of upside. Given how poorly the Hornets offensive has been this season, there is always the chance that he carves out a bench role. For now, Martin remains far removed from fantasy radars.
Feb 12, 2020
Joins starting five
Martin is starting Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Rod Boone of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Terry Rozier unavailable due to a knee injury, Martin will pick up his first career start. He's played at least 20 minutes in each of the past two games, posting averages of 2.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in those contests.
Feb 8, 2020
Called up by Charlotte
Martin was recalled by the Hornets ahead of Saturday's tilt with Dallas, Rod Boone of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin figures to serve as rotational depth in the wake of the Hornets' buyout of Marvin Williams and with his brother Cody Martin in concussion protocol. The rookie guard's seen action in five games at the NBA level this season and is averaging 1.8 points and 1.0 rebound in 6.4 minutes per contest.
