Probable for preseason finale Martin (knee) is listed probable for Wednesday's preseason finale versus the 76ers.

Impact Martin joined a bevy of Hornets on the sidelines for Monday's preseason tilt, but unlike his teammates, Martin looks poised to get in a final tune-up contest before the regular season commences.

Likely to sit Monday Martin (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's preseason game against the Wizards.

Impact Martin has yet to play during the preseason while he manages left knee tendinopathy. Assuming he sits out again Monday, Martin will have just one more opportunity -- Wednesday in Philadelphia -- to get back on the court before the regular season begins Oct. 19 in San Antonio. If Martin gets a clean bill of health ahead of the regular season, he'll likely fill a second-unit role on the wing.

Efficient performance off bench Martin totaled 15 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 142-120 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Martin finished with at least 15 points, five rebounds and four assists for just the third time this season. Over his last seven games, the third-year wing has averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.0 minutes. Despite coming off the bench, Martin plays a key rotational role for Charlotte, which makes him an interesting streaming option for the stretch run.

Receives extended run Wednesday Martin played 32 minutes in Wednesday's 119-98 win over the Cavaliers, finishing with eight points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Impact Since getting a clean bill of health coming out of the All-Star break after missing the Hornets' final six games of the first half with a sore back, Martin's court time has been all over the map. He's played 12, 33, 17 and 33 minutes in the Hornets' subsequent four contests, but it's worth noting that both of the lower-minute totals came in blowouts of even greater magnitude than Wednesday's. Martin should at least hold down a 20-plus-minute role in more competitive contests, though he'll likely be one of several players who loses out on some opportunities if and when Gordon Hayward (ankle) returns to action.

Questionable at Milwaukee Martin (back) is listed as questionable Monday against Milwaukee.

Impact A sore back has bothered Martin for the last few weeks, and it caused him to miss a string of six straight games around the All-Star break. He was able to log 33 minutes in Sunday's loss to Detroit, which he finished with 13 points, two rebounds, three steals and one assist. Playing on the second half of a back-to-back, the Hornets will wait to see how Martin feels closer to game time before ruling on his status.
