Caleb Martin Believes He Can Elevate His Game In Philadelphia
Philadelphia 76ers forward Caleb Martin wants to do something "special" with his new team and sees himself playing a significant role. "They're putting a great team together. They've got a lot of guys with a lot of talent," Martin told Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. "So I think it should elevate my game in a personal way and as a team. I feel like we can do something special." Martin had a good spell with the Miami Heat but never established himself as a regular starter. However, he is projected to start life in Philadelphia as a member of the first unit, which increases Martin's fantasy value.
Free-agent forward Caleb Martin agreed to a four-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 28-year-old recently declined his $7.1 million option with the Miami Heat and will now earn more than $32 million guaranteed with the 76ers. Without question, Philly has been busy this offseason, with the team already landing Paul George, Andre Drummond, and Eric Gordon while giving new contracts to Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tyrese Maxey. But now Philadelphia will add Martin, who finished last season by averaging a career-high 10.0 points with 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists. While he may not start consistently in Philadelphia, he should see enough work to remain relevant for fantasy managers.
Free-agent forward Caleb Martin is reportedly seeking around $15 million this offseason. Martin, who turned down his $7.1 million player option to hit the open market, spent the last three years in Miami, recently finishing the 2023-24 campaign by averaging a career-high 10.0 points with 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists. The 28-year-old apparently is on Philadelphia's radar. However, his asking price may be too high, especially since he played 64 games or fewer in two of the previous three seasons. There's still a chance Miami could re-sign Martin, although the team is looking to avoid hitting the second apron.
Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin finished with 10 points in Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. He added four boards and one assist. The 28-year-old was one of Miami's top rotational pieces during the regular season. He averaged a career-high 10 points. Unfortunately, he was limited to 64 games due to injury. That's been the theme for Martin throughout his career. He also isn't a consistent fantasy producer. Assuming he remains in Miami, he may battle for minutes with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Martin's injury woes over the years are another reason fantasy managers may look the other way.
Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Friday versus Portland. He plans to go through the pregame warmup before deciding if he can play through right ankle discomfort, which has troubled him lately. Martin hasn't missed any action since Jan. 10. He's struggled with his shot this month but has still averaged a solid 10.7 points with 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is probable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. The 28-year-old hasn't been forced to miss a game since early January, so his continued health has been a breath of fresh air for this team that has endured tons of injuries and missed games from their main rotation. Martin will likely receive north of 25 minutes in this contest since Tyler Herro (foot), Josh Richardson (shoulder), and Duncan Robinson (facet) all remain sidelined. Martin could garner some DFS attention in a game that's likely to be a blowout too.
Caleb Martin Considered Questionable Versus Golden State
Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 10, as the team considers him questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Warriors. Martin has been a frequent guest on the injury report and is currently dealing with right ankle discomfort, but he's had an impressive ironman streak of 34 consecutive appearances. The 28-year-old leads the Heat bench mob on a nightly basis, averaging 10.8 points and 4.7 rebounds for the month. Patty Mills and Haywood Highsmith are in line to benefit from Martin's absence, although Miami's second unit might struggle on Tuesday because the Warriors allow the sixth-fewest bench points in the league.
Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was a late addition to the injury report but appears to be fine now. Martin has been playing over 30 minutes per game with the Heat shorthanded right now. The expectation is that trend is going to continue until the Heat get healthy again. Martin struggled during his last game but is worth a look as a streaming option with the Heat thin on depth.
Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (thumb) will suit up on Saturday against the Utah Jazz. He was listed as questionable heading into the contest. However, he was upgraded to probable, so fantasy managers were expecting this update all along. Martin has averaged a career-high 10.1 points with 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this season. Although the 28-year-old isn't consistently productive, he has a chance to get more involved versus Utah, considering Tyler Herro (foot) will miss another game.
Caleb Martin Questionable For Saturday With Thumb Injury
Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (thumb) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Jazz. He hurt his left thumb against the Nuggets on Thursday, and the injury might end a streak of 22 consecutive appearances for Martin. The 28-year-old has been a member of the second unit in the last two contests, but Martin typically does a solid job in any role. He's averaged 10.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the season. Jaime Jaquez Jr. is in line to benefit from Martin's potential absence on Saturday, and it might be an ideal matchup to end his recent slump. The Jazz like to push the pace but can't defend, meaning we should see plenty of good fantasy lines for Heat players on Saturday.
