Late addition to injury report Martin is now questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder due to left knee soreness.

Impact Martin was absent from Charlotte's initial injury report, but he popped up as questionable Saturday afternoon. A midday downgrade doesn't bode well for his availability against OKC. However, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Martin's status as we approach the game's 6:00 ET tipoff.

Retreats to bench Thursday Martin will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact With Brandon Miller (ankle) returning from a three-game absence, Martin will slide back to the bench. Over his last three matchups (two starts), the 29-year-old has averaged 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 steals across 25.7 minutes per contest.

Impact Martin will return to a bench role with Miles Bridges back in the starting five. The six-year veteran is averaging 8.8 points and 4.5 rebounds across 25.6 minutes per game when coming off the bench this season. His upside should be fairly low with Bridges back in the mix, though.

Joining starting five Martin is starting Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact The Hornets are navigating through a depleted frontcourt, so it'll be Martin who draws the start at power forward without the services of Miles Bridges (knee) and Tidjane Salaun (ankle). Martin's last start dates back to Oct. 26 against the Heat, recording 10 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes.

Scores 15 points Thursday Martin logged 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 overtime win over the Pistons.

Impact Martin was extremely efficient as a scoring weapon despite coming off the bench, and he finished as the Hornets' third-best offensive threat behind the star duo of Brandon Miller (38 points) and LaMelo Ball (35 points). Martin should continue playing off the bench for the foreseeable future, but the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis certainly hurts his upside. This was Martin's first game with double-digit points since Nov. 8, when he also scored 15 points in a win over the Pacers.

Through 13 appearances this season, Martin has been able to churn out some deep-league fantasy value with averages of 9.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

Questionable for Tuesday Martin (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando.

Impact Martin was a late addition to the injury report which is usually not a good sign.
