Caleb Martin DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Caleb Martin (hip) has been cleared to return from a five-game absence on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. He is poised to make his sixth appearance for the Mavericks, as health issues have hindered Martin's start at his new club. So far, Martin has averaged 4.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 19.2 minutes with the team. He may play a bigger role in the rotation against Orlando due to P.J. Washington's (ankle) absence, but Martin is unlikely to have a significant impact in fantasy basketball.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Caleb Martin (hip) has been tagged as questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is attempting to return from a right hip strain but may remain sidelined for a sixth consecutive contest. We have seen very little of Martin in a Mavericks jersey, as he has made only five appearances for the team since being acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers. After moving to Texas, he has averaged 4.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 19.2 minutes. Fantasy managers should not expect too much from Martin, even if he is cleared to play.

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (hip) won't play on Sunday versus the 76ers. He missed over a month because of a hip injury, dating back to his time with Philadelphia. However, the 29-year-old made his Mavericks debut on March 7 and has appeared in Dallas' previous five games. But now that Martin is out, the team is down to eight healthy bodies, meaning Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Max Christie should see plenty of minutes, The same can be said for P.J. Washington (ankle), who will return on Sunday after missing the last seven games, and Brandon Williams (hamstring).
