November 10, 2009 Kenyon Martin (bruised leg) is expected to suit up for the Nuggets on Tuesday night, according to the Denver Post. Our View:"I'm going to play, man - no matter how I feel," were his words. The Nuggets are coming off a two-game losing streak, and are viewing their game against the Bulls tonight as an early season must win. Through six games this season, Martin is averaging ten points and 6.3 rebounds per game. |

|
November 6, 2009 Kenyon Martin exited Friday's loss to Miami in the second quarter with a lower left leg contusion, according to the Denver Post. Our View:Martin's X-rays at halftime were inconclusive, and he did not return to action. He will be re-evaluated tomorrow, and could miss some time. |
|
November 4, 2009 Kenyon Martin did a little bit of everything on Wednesday as the Nuggets stormed past the Nets 122-94. Martin grabbed 10 boards to go along with his 18 points and four assists. Our View:K-Mart has been just average so far this season, but was was very good in tonight's win. His 18 points were significantly higher than his 10.5 average, and he was perfect from distance, making both three-pointers he attempted. If he can deliver a few more nights like this in the coming weeks, his fantasy stock could shoot up. |
|
October 2, 2009 Kenyon Martin missed Thursday's preseason opener while nursing his right quad contusion, according to the Denver Post. Our View:Martin stated in mid-September that he feels great, but he looks to remain a risky fantasy prospect for 2009-10. |
|
September 21, 2009 Kenyon Martin stated that it has been at least five years since he has felt as good as he does right now, according to SportsRadioInterviews.com. Our View:His legs feel great, and is looking forward to the 2009-10 campaign with the contending Nuggets. He could make a nice value pick in fantasy drafts after only averaging 11.7 points over 66 games last season. |
|
May 4, 2009 ESPN.com reports that the NBA has fined Kenyon Martin $25,000 and upgraded his first quarter technical foul to a flagrant foul. Our View:Martin did a very good job on Nowitzki in Game 1 and he is an important element to the Nuggets success this season. With two more flagrant fouls, Martin could receive a one-game suspension. |
|
April 15, 2009 According to the Denver Post, Kenyon Martin will play in the Nuggets' season finale on Wednesday. Our View:Martin just recently returned from a rib injury, so don't expect him to play an exorbitant amount of minutes tonight. However, he did put up 13 points in 29 minutes on Monday (his first game back), so he's a decent fantasy gamble. |
|
April 13, 2009 Updating an earlier report, Kenyon Martin will play tonight against the Kings, according to the Denver Post. Our View:Martin missed the last four games with a rib cartilage strain, and could be limited in his first game back. Consider him for fantasy lineups with caution. |
|

|
April 10, 2009 Head coach George Karl has said that Kenyon Martin, who's missed Denver's last four games with a rib injury, will play Monday night against Sacramento, according to the Denver Post. Our View:While Karl seemed confident he'd have his power forward back in the lineup, Martin himself didn't seem quite as positive, saying that his ribs are still causing a significant deal of pain and that he'll continue to take things day-to-day. It may be best to keep Martin on your bench. |
|

He has missed the past two games with a rib injury. Renaldo Balkman figures to start in his place. Our View:Martin can not be counted on for fantasy production at this point of the season. Hopefully he will be a go in the playoffs, but fantasy owners should actually view his 64 games played this season as a good thing. |
|
April 8, 2009 Kenyon Martin is questionable for tonight's home game against Oklahoma City due to a rib injury, according to the Sports Network. Our View:Martin has missed the last two games with the injury, and could be hindered if able to return tonight. He has a favorable match-up, but is a risky fantasy option. |
|
April 4, 2009 The AP reports that Kenyon Martin sat out Saturday's game with the Clippers due to his sore ribs. Coach George Karl also said that he could also sit out Sunday's game against Minnesota. Our View:Martin should be dropped out of fantasy lineups as he is too much of a health risk at this point in the season. You shouldn't have difficulty replacing his production off of the waiver wire. |
|
April 4, 2009 Kenyon Martin is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers while dealing with strained ribs, according to the Sports Network. Our View:He is only averaging 8.8 points over his last five games, and is not productive enough to risk employing in fantasy lineups. |
|
April 4, 2009 The Denver Post reports that Kenyon Martin will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game due to a rib cartilage strain. Our View:Martin has returned to his injury-prone ways since the all-star break and he should not be counted on to produce for his fantasy owners for the remainder of the season. |
|
March 17, 2009 According to the Denver Post, Kenyon Martin will no longer play in the second half of games until he feels he's fully fit. He has been suffering from a sore back. Our View:This essentially wipes out Martin's fantasy value. Keep him on your bench until he starts playing full games. |
|
March 16, 2009 Kenyon Martin returned on Monday from his prolonged absence due to back spasms. He started but only played 15 minutes in the Nuggets 121-96 win over the Nets. The power forward finished with eight points and four rebounds. Our View:Whether or not Martin was limited to 15 minutes because of the blowout or soreness is not known. He is a risky bet to produce good numbers for the remainder of the season. |
|
March 13, 2009 Kenyon Martin continues to be sidelined with back spasms with no clear date for a return, according to the Denver Post. Our View:"It's frustrating. I can't move and do things I'm capable of doing," said Martin. It seems like he could be back sooner rather than later, although it's probably best to keep him on your bench until you witness that he's back and able to make it through an entire game unscathed. |
|
March 11, 2009 Kenyon Martin is doubtful for Wednesday's game due to back spasms, according to the Denver Post. After missing three games, he returned Monday, but apparently is still not near 100 percent. Our View:Martin's production has dropped substantially from the first 40 games of the season. In fact, you should probably consider dropping him if there is something on the waiver wire that is tempting. Drew Gooden should finish out the season with better production than Martin. |
|
March 9, 2009 Kenyon Martin was held to just six points in Monday's loss to the Rockets, while also contributing seven rebounds, one steal, and one block. Our View:Martin was just returning from a sore back, so he will probably be more productive in a few games. |
|

|
March 7, 2009 Kenyon Martin said he is not certain when he will be able to play again as he is dealing with a lower back strain, according to the Denver Post. Our View:Martin has not played very well at all over the past month, and there are probably more reliable options on the waiver wire. We recommend you cut bait with Martin. |
|
March 5, 2009 Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin was unable to suit up for the team in their contest Thursday against Portland, according to the AP. Our View:Martin has been dealing with back problems for some time, so fantasy owners should be aware that he'll likely miss some games here and there. |
|
February 21, 2009 Kenyon Martin is questionable to play on Sunday in Milwaukee due to back spasms, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Our View:Martin sat out the entire second half of the Nuggets' last game. He has a long history of injuries and you shouldn't be surprised if he misses multiple games while recovering from the ailment. |
|
February 6, 2009 Kenyon Martin is questionable for tonight's outing at Washington due to a strep throat, according to the Sports Network. Our View:Martin has been feeling better, but it is uncertain if he would be able to handle a full workload if cleared to play. |

|
February 4, 2009 Kenyon Martin is questionable for tonight's game at Oklahoma City while dealing with tonsilitis/strep throat, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Our View:Martin had a 103-degree temperature, and should be held out of fantasy lineups to be safe. |
|
January 28, 2009 Kenyon Martin hit 10-of-12 shots and finished with 22 points, six rebounds, and two blocks as the Nuggets fell to New Orleans 94-81 on Wednesday. Our View:Martin has had a solid season, if for nothing more than the fact that he has missed only four games. However, he has stepped up his offense since Carmelo Anthony went down and has provided some nice defensive numbers. His 57 percent free throw shooting continues to be a major drag, though. |
|
January 27, 2009 Kenyon Martin didn't do any one thing spectacularly in Denver's 100-85 win over the Grizzlies, but he did a lot of things well, scoring 12 points with 10 rebounds, five steals, four assists and three blocks. Our View:Not only did Martin do all of that, but his defense helped stymie Marc Gasol, who didn't score a single point in the game. He also had just one turnover for the game. |
|
January 16, 2009 Kenyon Martin came up big for the Nuggets as they held off the Suns in overtime on Wednesday. The power forward scored 24 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and had seven steals in the win. Our View:Martin is doing as well as anyone could have expected this season.He is still a drag on free throw percentage, but he provides solid production in most categories, in particular on the defensive end. Look for him to take more shots with Carmelo Anthony out. |
|
