Martin notched five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 106-104 loss to the Knicks.
Coming off a strong performance against the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Martin followed up with the complete opposite Thursday. Despite being locked in as a starter, Martin has been unable to put up consistent numbers. He will go on brief runs in which he flirts with 12-team value, only to go downhill in a hurry. To avoid the stress, managers may be better off leaving him for those in deeper formats.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Multi-cat effort Friday
Rotowire
Martin logged 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 110-105 win over the Magic.
Martin was able to play through his quad injury, posting what was his best fantasy line in quite a while. After a period in which he was a viable 12-team commodity, Martin has slowed over the past month, sitting outside the top 175. His role is likely to stick moving forward, although the improved play of Victor Oladipo does put a cap on his overall appeal. Outside of being a steals streamer, Martin is best left for those in slightly deeper formats.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Available vs. Magic
Rotowire
Martin (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game against the Magic.
As expected, the wing will play through a strained left quad. Foul trouble limited Martin to 11 minutes in the Heat's previous game -- a three-point win over the Celtics. In seven appearances this month, he's averaged 6.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 23.9 minutes.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Probable Friday
Rotowire
Martin (quadriceps) is probable for Friday's game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Martin missed five games due to his left quadriceps strain between early and mid-January, and he's still bothered by the issue ahead of Friday's matchup. However, he'll likely be able to suit up against the Magic. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 6.6 points and 4.0 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per game.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Foul trouble limits minutes
Rotowire
Martin provided five points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 98-95 victory over the Celtics.
Martin saw his fewest minutes of the season during Tuesday's close win, mainly due to foul trouble. Even so, it was a bit surprising to see him play just 11 minutes in the absence of Jimmy Butler (back). Max Strus (37 minutes) and Haywood Highsmith (30 minutes) ended up seeing the biggest increases in workload. Martin continues to have value in deeper fantasy formats, though he's mostly valuable when the Heat are missing other starters.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Quiet in return
Rotowire
Martin (quadriceps) ended with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two steals and one assist across 26 minutes during Monday's 121-113 loss to the Hawks.
The 27-year-old forward had missed the prior five games due to a quadriceps strain, but Martin's workload and production were within his usual range in his return. He's missed nine of the Heat's last 16 games as a result of multiple injuries, but even when he's 100 percent, Martin needs Miami's bigger-name players to be sidelined to have significant fantasy upside.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Receives questionable tag
Rotowire
Martin (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Atlanta.
Martin has missed the Heat's previous four games with the left quad strain, but he appeared close to playing in Saturday's 111-95 win over the Bucks before being ultimately ruled out ahead of the contest. With two more days to rest up from the quad injury, Martin should have a better chance at suiting up in Atlanta, though he may not see an extensive role even if he's plugged back into his usual spot in the starting five. In three of his last five appearances before missing time with the quad issue, Martin played fewer than 22 minutes.

Martin has been sidelined for the previous four games due to a left quadriceps strain. While he will be available Saturday, it remains to be seen if he will actually log any minutes. More clarity could come closer to tipoff, but it's best to consider him questionable to play despite his available status.

Martin appeared in the last two games and was initially considered questionable Friday due to his left quadriceps strain, but it appears as though he'll be unavailable for the third time in the last five matchups. Assuming he's held out, Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith are candidates to see increased run for Miami.
