Martin is starting at small forward for Saturday's contest against the Heat due to Tyreke Evans (ribs) being out, Rob Fischer of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin, a third-year forward out of LSU, has seen 20.2 minutes per game this season. But, with the Grizzlies dealing with injuries to key players, he should see more run Saturday and possibly beyond. In the 15 games where he's seen at least 24 minutes, he's averaged 11.0 points and 5.8 rebounds.

Martin recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-114 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Martin hit double figures in scoring for the 11th time through 53 appearances this season, and the 10th time in his last 25 games. While JaMychal Green (illness) drew the start, he was limited to 19 minutes while Martin went off. Given that the Grizzlies are not playoff contenders, the younger Martin might be able to carve out a decent role for the final portion of the campaign. Still, Green is the reliable veteran starter, and for now it's tough to envision Martin becoming valuable outside of deeper leagues.

Martin turned in nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes in Sunday's 110-92 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
The young big man's rebound total was second only to position mate JaMychal Green's on the night and also represented a season high. Martin has retained a fairly consistent allotment of minutes off the second unit, but his shot attempts -- and by extension, his scoring --have fluctuated pretty significantly as well. Despite his inconsistencies, Martin remains an option for those in deeper formats who are looking for some end-of-roster help in points and rebounds.

Martin totaled six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 92-88 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Martin shifted into the starting lineup to counter the size of the Jazz but had minimal impact on the game. Martin has shown glimpses of value across the season but fails to produce on a regular basis. The Grizzlies are rumored to be making some moves before the deadline but this is looking less likely by the minute, and Martin should remain on the waiver wire in most formats.

Martin will start at small forward for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies are shifting to a bigger lineup that features Martin and JaMychal Green at the two forward spots. The pushes Dillon Brooks over to shooting guard and sends Wayne Selden to a bench role. Martin was playing fairly well prior to Green's return, so the promotion could be a reward for his strong play with the top unit. That said, it's unclear if this is just a one-game experiment or not, so it could just be a temporary uptick in value for Martin.

Martin will head to the bench for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Though JaMychal Green (ankle) was cleared to return in the Grizzlies' most-recent game Thursday against the Pistons following a five-game absence, Martin still garnered his fourth consecutive start at power forward. However, with Green incurring no injury setbacks in his 20 minutes off the bench Thursday, he'll be given the green light to take back his normal starting role, resulting in Martin heading back to the second unit. Expect Martin's fantasy value to take a hit with the move, as the third-year big man is averaging 5.5 points (on 43.4 percent shooting from the field) and 3.0 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game as a reserve this season.

Martin managed nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 120-109 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Martin was solid once again as the starting power forward, contributing in every category except threes while dishing out a career high in assists. With regular starter JaMychal Green (ankle) missing his fourth consecutive contest, Martin continued to receive extra opportunities. Moreover, Chandler Parsons (knee) has missed 14 straight as well. Green is expected to return in the near future, while the timeline for Parsons is less clear. For as long as Green remains sidelined, Martin is a sneaky fantasy option, especially in daily leagues.

Martin finished with 17 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Friday's 109-100 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Martin was questionable heading into the game but played and started as expected. He has now scored in double-figures in five of his last six games as he continues to see additional run with JaMychal Green (ankle) on the sidelines. Green still has no timetable for his return and the Grizzlies are in no rush to get him back giving Martin some deeper league value.

Martin will get the start at power forward for Friday's contest against the Clippers, Clay Bailey of The Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin was questionable heading into the evening due to knee and ankle injuries, but was ultimately cleared to play. He will now get the starting nod with JaMychal Green (ankle) sidelined. The big man is averaging 6.8 points and 4.7 rebounds across 22.4 minutes in 14 starts this season.

Martin (knee, ankle) has been cleared to play during Friday's contest against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Martin missed Wednesday's contest against the Spurs as a result of his injuries, though they have apparently cleared up enough for him to take the floor Friday. With JaMychal Green (ankle) and Chandler Parsons (knee) out, Martin will likely see extended run.
