Martin (hamstring) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Martin (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Shortly before Monday's game against the Jazz, it was announced that Martin would not be in the starting lineup due to a hamstring injury. He didn't end up getting into the game, as the Timberwolves went with a seven-man rotation featuring heavy doses of Zach LaVine, Lorenzo Brown and Chase Budinger. While Martin seemingly stands a chance to return for Wednesday's game, the Timberwolves are much better off losing the contest, though they may not acknowledge that reality. If he does play, Martin won't necessarily get minutes in the high-30s or low-40s the way he often has in recent games.

Martin (hamstring) will not be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Jazz due to a hamstring injury, but he will still dress and be available.
Martin is dealing with a left hamstring strain and it's questionable whether or not he'll even get on the court tonight. Look for Lorenzo Brown to take over as the starting shooting guard in his place. If Martin gets any minutes at all, it'll likely be in limited fashion.

Martin scored 22 points (8-26 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) with two rebounds in 44 minutes during Thursday's OT win over the Knicks.
It wasn't the most efficient or productive night, but Martin still managed to lead the T-wolves in scoring on the night. He's now averaging 21.3 points, 3.4 boards and 1.8 threes over his last eight games.

Martin continued his recent surge Wednesday, putting up 37 points (14-28 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, and one block in 44 minutes against the Raptors.
Martin is averaging 21.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.6 steals, and 2.2 three-pointers in 32 minutes per game over the Timberwolves last five contests. Even though coach Flip Saunders said last week that he wants to get rookie Zach LaVine more run at shooting guard over the remainder of the season, Martin has still been playing a lot and taking as many shots as he likes. He's been helped by the absence of Gary Neal (illness) the last three games, so when Neal returns, it's possible this recent burst of scoring could get tapered back.

Martin scored 23 points (7-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go along with three rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes Monday against the Nets.
The Timberwolves are dealing with a lot of injuries right now, leaving Martin to carry a significant portion of the offensive load. He has not disappointed, averaging 18.5 points and 1.3 three-pointers over his last six games. He's not going to contribute much in rebounds or assists, but can provide fantasy owners with a nice offensive boost.

Martin may be in danger of seeing his minutes decline over the final stretch of the season since coach Flip Saunders wants to play rookie Zach LaVine at shooting guard, the Star Tribune reports.
Martin is averaging 32.7 minutes on the season but only played an average of 27.5 minutes in his previous two games. This could be a sign of things to come as the Timberwolves are out of the playoff race and Saunders looks to implement some of his younger guys into the rotation.

Martin scored a team-high 29 points (11-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT) with six rebounds, two assists and one steal in the win over the Blazers on Saturday.
Martin rebounded nicely from a nine-point dud performance on Wednesday by abusing Aron Afflalo, who ended fouling out on Saturday. If he can remain healthy, Martin is a good bet to keep his current scoring pace and return value as top 100 option, making him an everyday starter in standard leagues.
Wed Mar 4 201523:46Martin returned to lineup Wednesday, but struggled from floor
Martin returned to the lineup Wednesday, but struggled from the floor. He finished with nine points on 3-of-15 shooting to go with three boards and two assists.
Martin missed Monday's tilt against the Clippers with an illness and couldn't get into a rhythm against the Nuggets. He's in a bit of a scoring slump after failing to reach 20 points in three straight games after topping that number in each of his previous six outings. Expect Martin to bounce back on Saturday against Portland.

Mon Mar 2 201513:01Kevin Martin: Questionable Monday With Illness
Martin is dealing with an illness and is questionable for Monday's game, Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press reports.
He missed Monday's morning shootaround, and if he cannot play it will mean more minutes for Andrew Wiggins, Gary Neal and Chase Budinger. Check back on his status closer to tip-off.

Martin scored 28 points (10-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 Ft) with two rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
He's now scored 20 or more points in six straight games, averaging 23.8 points, 4.7 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch. Martin's wrist injury is no longer a concern, and he seems to be finding his groove with Ricky Rubio manning the point again.
