Not starting vs. Houston Martin is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Martin started in the loss to the Hornets on Monday, tallying five points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 29 minutes of action, but he'll head back to the bench for this one.

Returns with six-point game Martin (elbow) recorded six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes in Sunday's 120-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Martin made his return after missing the Jazz's last four games due to elbow bursitis, but even though Lauri Markkanen (illness) sat out a third straight contest, head coach Will Hardy elected to bring Martin off the bench. Starters Kyle Filipowski (29 minutes) and Walker Kessler (31 minutes) ended up seeing the bulk of the playing time in the frontcourt, resulting in Martin having to settle for a light role. Unless he can capture a consistent 25-plus-minute role, Martin will likely struggle to provide enough value to warrant rostering outside of deeper leagues.
