Fantasy Analysis
Martin joined teammates a few days ago and has become acquainted with his new surroundings. Martin joins the Clippers as the team attempts to get over the loss of Chauncey Billups. K-Mart will likely see limited playing time, at least at first, so Fantasy owners should monitor his production before rushing out and grabbing him off waivers in most formats. He does have plenty of upside for the rest of the season, however. (Updated 02/08/2012).

02/04/2012 22:04 Clippers get fifth win in last six games
Blake Griffin had 21 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, and DeAndre Jordan had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 107-81 victory against the Washington Wizards on Saturday night.
The good news regarding Martin entering the 2011-12 season is that he’s expected to be 100 percent healthy after playing in just 48 games last year due to his recovery from knee surgery. The bad news is that he will be playing in China. Martin signed a big-money deal to play in the Chinese Basketball Association this season, his contract including stipulations that would not allow him to leave once the NBA lockout was resolved. He should not be targeted in any Fantasy leagues this year. (Updated 9/21/11)
