Cartier Martin played 37 minutes against the Sixers on Friday, scoring six points with four boards, two assists, one steal and one block on 2-of-8 shooting.

The Wizards are really short-handed on the wing and Cartier is going to have an opportunity. The Wizards have just two games left in the season, so he should only be viewed as a desperation plug-n-play in daily leagues. Garrett Temple played 31 minutes and had a solid line of eight points, five boards, two assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer. Temple is a more valuable piece in fantasy leagues.

Cartier Martin will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Sixers.

With both Martell Webster and Trevor Ariza sidelined by injury, the Wiz are scraping at the three-spot. It's Martin's first start of the year, but he's a scorer. His per-36 minute averages this season include 14.6 points and 3.2 3-pointers.

Cartier Martin hit four 3-pointers in Tuesday's 120-99 loss to the Knicks, scoring 16 points with three boards on 6-of-12 shooting.

He's scored just nine points in his previous six games, so this line came out of nowhere. Trevor Ariza did not play, which allowed some extra playing time for Martin. He can be left on the wire in almost all leagues.

Cartier Martin set a new career-high with 23 points in 30 minutes off the Wizards bench on Saturday, hitting 8-of-13 FGs, including 6-of-9 from downtown.

Trevor Ariza (flu) hit seven 3-pointers on Friday but he wasn't available tonight, so Martin stepped in with an equally impressive performance. He added three rebounds and three assists in a line bound to get plenty of attention, but with Ariza day-to-day there's no reason to consider picking up Martin unless you're solely targeting 3-pointers.

Cartier Martin (knee) returned to action on Friday, hitting just 1-of-8 shots to finish with two points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in 18 minutes.

The Wizards lost handily and this was the first time we've seen Martin on the court in about two months. Barring a surprise, he will do more to steal value from others than he will do for himself.

Cartier Martin returned to action on Friday March 8.

Cartier Martin, who was expected back on Friday, remains sidelined by his hyper-extended knee.

The Wizards have won three straight without Martin and with Trevor Ariza playing well it's doubtful that he'll approach the 22 minutes per game he averaged in December. Consider him questionable to return at Toronto on Monday.

Cartier Martin, who has been out indefinitely with a knee injury, is expected to play on Friday.

It's possible Martin is active and doesn't play, but it appears he's finally over a knee injury that has sidelined him since early january.

Cartier Martin remains out indefinitely with a knee injury.

Martin has no timetable for his return from a hyperextended left knee.

Cartier Martin (knee) will be out for "at least another week or more."

Martin has missed four straight games with a knee injury and there is no timetable for his return. With Jordan Crawford (ankle) on the mend, Martin may return to an uncertain role in the rotation.

Cartier Martin (knee) will miss his fourth game and is inactive against the Kings on Wednesday.

Now that the Wizards backcourt is getting healthy with the exception of Jordan Crawford (ankle), Martin's attractiveness in even deep leagues loses its luster. He probably won't play his average of 17.6 minutes once he's able to return.

Cartier Martin (knee) will sit out his third consecutive game on Monday.

Martin has averaged 18 minutes in 23 appearances this season, scoring 6.8 points with 1.4 threes per game. His fantasy usefulness is strictly limited to the deepest leagues.

Cartier Martin (knee) will not play against the Hawks on Saturday.

He was a solid fill-in player for the Wizards while they were dealing with injuries. Now that the team is approaching full strength, he'll have a tough time carving out a noteworthy role.

Cartier Martin (knee) did some light shooting on Thursday and is uncertain for Saturday's game vs. the Hawks.

Martin did not play against the Thunder on Monday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him take Saturday's game off as well. If he's out, look for Martell Webster and Trevor Ariza to pick up some extra minutes.

Cartier Martin (hyper-extended knee) will not play vs. the Thunder on Monday.

This game could get very ugly in a hurry, as the Wizards are without John Wall, Jordan Crawford, Nene, Cartier Martin, Trevor Booker and Trevor Ariza. Martin will have four days of rest before Saturday's game vs. the Hawks.

Cartier Martin hit just 2-of-11 shots in the Wizards' blowout loss on Friday, scoring five points (including a three) with one rebound in 23 minutes off the bench.

The Wizards scored 68 points tonight and shot 33 percent from the field, so owners should keep that in perspective when assessing players. This doesn't absolve any one of them for their performances, but they'll be better than this on most nights.

Cartier Martin stepped up again for the injured Wizards on Saturday, scoring 18 points with four 3-pointers, six rebounds and four assist sin 27 minutes.

Martin is now averaging 19.5 points, 4.5 threes and 7.0 rebounds in his past two games, and Randy Wittman has vowed to ride him when he gets a hot hand. He should have low-end value if all you need is 3-pointers with a dash of points and rebounds, but we're not sold on the sustainability of these recent numbers.

Cartier Martin scored a season-high 21 points on Friday against the Lakers, hitting 7-of-16 shots (including five threes) with eight rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in 32 minutes off the bench.

Martin has been a sporadic low-end producer over the past week or so, and will have a limited window that will last until John Wall (knee) returns. He's worth a look in deeper formats, but he needs to work on his consistency before standard league owners should consider an add.

Wizards re-sign free agent G/F Cartier Martin on Thursday.

Martin averaged a 9.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 17 games with the Wizards last season, starting in two of them. He came to the team on a 10-day contract, so this story has a feel-good ending. As for fantasy value, Martin shouldn't have much as long as his teammates are healthy.

Cartier Martin started for the Wizards on Wednesday and had seven points, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer on 3-of-10 shooting.

He should start again on Thursday against the Heat with Jordan Crawford shut down, and could be a sneaky fantasy play in the finale.
