Tonight is the fifth game of the Nuggets’ road trip, but Kenyon Martin spoke Monday as if it’s the fifth game of a playoff series.


“I’m going to play, man — no matter how I feel,” said Martin, who sustained a left leg bruise on Friday in Miami. “We lost two games in a row. Bottom line, we’ve got to stop the bleeding. I think my presence on the court will go a long way.”

The power forward left the Miami loss in the second quarter, and he watched Saturday’s loss at Atlanta from the sideline. Barring any setbacks, he will play tonight at Chicago, where the Nuggets (5-2) have lost the past three seasons.

“We’ve got to get back to playing the way we’re capable of playing,” said Martin, who is averaging 10.0 points and 6.3 rebounds. “Not playing was so frustrating, man. I put a little bit of that burden on myself.”
