Cody Martin DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (knee) will miss a second straight game on Monday versus Chicago. This comes as no surprise, as Martin was listed as doubtful on the initial injury report. The Hornets also won't have the services of LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) and Brandon Miller (ankle), so players like Josh Green and Seth Curry will have expanded roles. The two will start the contest alongside Vasilije Micic, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams.

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (illness) is active for Charlotte's game on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Martin popped up on the injury report with an illness but feels good enough to play through it. The 29-year-old has averaged 9.9 PPG and 4.5 RPG to start this season. Expect Martin to continue to produce off the bench for the Hornets. Fantasy managers and DFS players should temper expectations for Martin against a stout Magic defense, though. Still ensure he's in your lineups as he will get 25 minutes of game action but his normal numbers may be muted.

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Martin had been dealing with a minor illness but hasn't missed any time. Expect the 29-year-old to continue coming off the bench for Charlotte. Martin's averaging 10.0 PPG this season while shooting 37% from three. While the three-point shooting percentage seems encouraging, fantasy managers shouldn't expect consistent production going forward as he's failed to play more than 20 minutes in each of the Hornets' last two games. Better options are likely available on the waiver wire that fantasy managers should prioritize until Martin either catches a hot streak or finds his way back into the starting lineup.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (wrist) missed a fourth consecutive preseason game on Tuesday against the Knicks. He hurt his right wrist before the start of preseason, and while Martin was initially considered day-to-day, he still hasn't shaken off the injury. Entering training camp, Martin also had an ankle problem. It looks like 2024-25 could be another injury-plagued campaign for Martin, who's managed to suit up for only 35 games across the previous two seasons. Before running into injuries, Martin was on an upward trajectory. Now, there are question marks regarding his role on the team, and Martin might even struggle to average 20 minutes of action this season, which will negatively impact his fantasy value.

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (thumb) is currently considered day-to-day and won't suit up for Sunday's preseason opener. Martin suffered a thumb laceration and a sprained wrist while attempting to make a block during training camp. The 29-year-old is only expected to miss a few days and should be fine for Opening Night. The veteran forward figures to compete for backup minutes with Seth Curry and Tidjane Salaun. Martin is unlikely to have reliable fantasy value off the bench, but he'll still be an asset off the bench for Charlotte.
