Description: Thunder shooting guard Kevin Martin struggled against his former team Wednesday in Game 5 (1-of-10 from the field for just three points). | Insight: It's been an up and down series for Martin (11.4 ppg on 30.4 percent shooting). With Russell Westbrook out for the rest of the playoffs, Martin will need to emerge as OKC's No. 2 scorer if the Thunder hope to advance to the NBA Finals like they did in 2012. | | |

Description: Thunder guard Kevin Martin (back) will miss Wednesday's game. | Insight: Martin (14.0 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 1.4 apg) ends up missing the final three games of the regular season. | | |

Description: Thunder guard Kevin Martin (back) will miss Monday's game against Sacramento. | Insight: Martin (14.0 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 1.4 apg) had 23 points against Golden State on Thursday night so we suspect this is just getting everyone to 100 percent health for the playoff run. | | |
| 4/12/2013 8:53:00 PM |
Description: Thunder guard Kevin Martin (back) will miss Friday's game against the Blazers. | Insight: Martin had 23 points against Golden State just last night so this can't be too serious. | | |

Description: Oklahoma Thunder guard Kevin Martin (flu) will play Tuesday after missing Sunday's game. SOURCE: Darnell Mayberry, The Oklahoman | Insight: Martin is a decent scorer (15.3 ppg) who helps fantasy owners primarily in the three-point shooting categories averaging 2.3 per game on 44-percent shooting. He also provides a steal per game and one of the best free-throw percentages in the NBA at .902. | | |

Description: Thunder guard Kevin Martin will miss Sunday's game due to flu-like symptoms. | Insight: Owners short on threes for this fantasy week will be in a bind with Martin out Sunday. | | |

Description: Thunder guard Kevin Martin scored 21 points with three triples, four assists and two steals Wednesday night against the Warriors. | Insight: Martin has provided complementary scoring to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook all season. His points, steals, threes and free-throw percentage are all useful to fantasy owners. | | |

Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin drained all four of his 3-point attempts on Friday against Philadelphia and finished with 16 points. | Insight: Martin doesn't offer much in terms of rebounding or passing but he's averaging 15.4 points on 45.2 percent shooting with 2.3 threes per game and making 92.9 percent of his free throws on 4.1 attempts per game. | | |

Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin (bruised right quad) is probable for Tuesday's game against Miami, and expects to play after practicing on Sunday. | Insight: Martin has been productive for the Thunder, scoring 15.7 ppg on 46.9 percent shooting (including 45.8 percent from three-point distance), though he isn't James Harden. | | |
| 12/21/2012 12:08:00 PM |
Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami. He's been out with a bruised right quad. | Insight: He's no James Harden, but Martin has still been plenty productive for the Thunder, scoring 15.7 ppg on 46.9 percent shooting (including 45.8 percent from three-point distance). | | |
| 12/20/2012 6:54:00 PM |
Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin isn't available for Thursday's game against Minnesota. He's out with a bruised right quad. | Insight: He's no James Harden but Kevin Martin has still been plenty productive for the Thunder, scoring 15.7 ppg on 46.9 percent shooting (including 45.8 percent from three-point distance). Thabo Sefolosha could see a season-high in minutes tonight, though his recent cold streak makes us hesitant to start him (six ppg over his last five appearances). | | |

Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin has made 11 3-pointers over his last four games. | Insight: Martin had 20 points Monday against the Spurs and is averaging 19.8 ppg over his last four games. The key to Martin's fantasy value is his 3-point shooting (2.3 makes per game), foul shooting (.935) and lack of turnovers (1.5). | | |
| 12/10/2012 10:59:00 AM |
Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin hit multiple 3-pointers Sunday for the first time since Nov. 28. He finished with 24 points with three threes but had just one assist and zero rebounds, steals or blocks. | Insight: Martin (15.8 ppg) is a strong shooter but doesn't provide much else to fantasy owners so he needs to keep hitting 2.0 3-pointers per game or more while shooting 92.6 percent from the foul line to maintain his fantasy value. | | |
| 11/16/2012 10:55:00 PM |
Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin swished six threes Friday night en route to a 27-point effort in 26:33 off the bench against the Hornets. Martin also posted five rebounds and four assists. | Insight: Martin only shot 1-of-4 Wednesday in his first single-digit scoring effort of the season. Friday was his second-best scoring output this season and second time he's made six threes. He's also shooting 94.5 percent from the foul line on 55 attempts. | | |
| 11/5/2012 10:55:00 AM |
Description: Oklahoma City guard Kevin Martin was huge on Sunday, shooting 6-for-8 from three-point range and posting 28 points. | Insight: Martin has played well after being traded for James Harden, averaging 20.7 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 2.3 apg for his new team. | | |
| Hot | 11/2/2012 10:46:00 PM |
Description: The man he was traded for, James Harden, may be getting all the press but Kevin Martin has played well in his first two games with the Thunder. | Insight: Martin has played 31 minutes per game off the bench and averaged 17 ppg with three 3-pointers per contest. He's also 10-for-10 from the foul line this season. | | |
| 10/28/2012 10:18:00 AM |
Description: The Thunder have acquired guard Kevin Martin, rookie Jeremy Lamb and draft picks in exchange for a package that includes James Harden. | Insight: This may put Martin in a better position to win an NBA Championship but we don't like what it does for his fantasy value. He's unlikely to be more than a role player on Oklahoma City instead of the potential centerpiece of Houston's offense. The guard is still worth owning because of his 3-point shooting and high free-throw percentage but you should move him down your draft boards. | | |
| 4/16/2012 7:32:00 PM |
Description: Kevin Martin (shoulder) will be available in case of an emergency Monday night against Denver. | Insight: We haven't seen Martin on the court in over a month but it looks like he's very close to returning. The Rockets would certainly like to see Martin get some kind of rhythm going before the playoffs start, so expect him to be in Houston's lineup some time later this week. | | |
