Martin (knee) had four points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 loss to Brooklyn.
Martin continues to play through knee soreness, but he's struggled with his shot of late, scoring five or fewer points in three of his last four appearances. However, he salvaged his production Saturday by grabbing his most rebounds since mid-February and recorded at least one tally in each defensive category for the fourth time across 12 March appearances.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Questionable against Brooklyn
Rotowire
Martin (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Martin has been dealing with a sore left knee recently, but he's appeared in each of Miami's past five matchups. He's averaged 8.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per game during that time, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him available once again Saturday.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Martin was a late addition to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Martin wasn't among the group on the initial report, but his late addition doesn't bode particularly well. However, the team doesn't play until Wednesday, so morning shootaround should provide a clearer picture of his chances of suiting up.
Martin finished Sunday's 112-100 win over Detroit with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 31 minutes.
Martin reached the 30-minute mark for the third game in a row and is clearly being prioritized over Kevin Love, who hasn't played more than 23 minutes at any point during that stretch despite starting each time. Though he doesn't offer standout production in any one area, Martin typically chips in a little bit across the board without being a notable liability in any category. Since moving to the bench in late February, Martin is shooting 53.6 percent from the field and 90 percent from the free-throw line while averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.8 minutes.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Turns in serviceable line off bench
Rotowire
Martin finished with 11 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 30 minutes in Wednesday's 138-119 win over the Grizzlies.
After missing a game last Saturday against the Magic due to knee soreness, Martin has returned to action and hit double figures in the scoring column while recording exactly two steals in the Heat's first two games of the week. Though Martin looks as though he'll continue to come off the bench, he's consistently getting more minutes than Kevin Love while outproducing the five-time All-Star. Even so, Martin likely won't warrant much attention outside of 14-team leagues or deeper unless the Heat are down one of their top three players -- Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro -- at some point.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Available Monday
Rotowire
Martin (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Martin was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Monday, so it isn't very surprising to see him get the green light to return from his one-game absence. He's been held under 10 points in five of his last eight appearances and has averaged 9.9 points and 3.5 rebounds in 27.1 minutes per game during that time.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Now probable
Rotowire
Martin (knee) is probable for Monday's matchup against Utah.
Martin has been upgraded from questionable to probable and will likely play through his left knee soreness after sitting out Saturday's loss to Orlando. The addition of Kevin Love has shifted Martin to a reserve role, but he's still playing major minutes off the bench, averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 27.0 minutes over his last nine appearances.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Martin (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Martin sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday due to some soreness in his knee, but there's a chancee he could return for Monday's game. If he is able to get back out there, Omer Yurtseven would likely drop from the rotation entirely.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Martin (knee) will miss Saturday's game versus the Magic.
Originally listed as questionable on the injury report, Martin will ultimately miss his first game since Jan. 14 due to some soreness in his left knee. His next opportunity to rejoin the action arrives Monday versus the Jazz. In the meantime, Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith, among others, are candidates to add some minutes.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Questionable Saturday
Rotowire
Martin is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Martin's status will depend on how his knee feels closer to tip-off. Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith could potentially see some extra minutes providing depth on the wing if he is ultimately unable to go.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Provides value sans Love
Rotowire
Martin delivered 21 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Monday's 130-128 win over the Hawks.
Though he didn't receive a reappointment to the starting five with Kevin Love (ribs) sitting out, Martin still absorbed some of Love's vacated playing time and came through with an excellent all-around fantasy line. Martin won't be able to nail two-thirds of his field-goal attempts on any sort of regular basis, and the high free-throw count was a bit of an anomaly as well, but he still looks as though he can be a serviceable back-end roster option in 12- or 14-team category leagues while he looks increasingly comfortable in a sixth-man role. Even if Love is back in action Wednesday against the Cavaliers, he hadn't been playing well prior to suffering his injury and could end up becoming less of a priority than Martin, who has eclipsed 25 minutes in all but one of his seven appearances since moving to the bench.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Scores 15 points off bench
Rotowire
Martin posted 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 win over Atlanta.
Martin has been relegated to a reserve role since the arrival of Kevin Love, but the former has still been somewhat productive off the bench. He's scored in double figures in back-to-back games and is averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 26.3 minutes since moving to the bench (six games).

Heat's Caleb Martin: Scores 14 off bench
Rotowire
Martin supplied 14 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 122-120 loss to the Knicks.
Martin was held to single-digit points in his previous three games, so it will be interesting to see if he can build some momentum after Friday's strong showing. Despite the arrival of Kevin Love, Martin's workload has remained steady, with minutes in the mid-20s most nights.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Cleared for action Friday
Rotowire
Martin (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Martin was a late addition to the injury report Friday afternoon, but he'll still suit up despite left ankle discomfort. He's been relegated to a reserve role with the addition of Kevin Love, but Martin is still averaging 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 25.8 minutes across four straight appearances off the bench.

Martin is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to left ankle discomfort, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Martin was a late addition to the injury report and may miss the first half of Miami's upcoming back-to-back set. If that's the case, Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith and Max Strus would be candidates for increased roles behind Kevin Love.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Double-double in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Martin totaled 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 victory over the Pacers.
It's the fourth-year forward's second double-double of the season, with both coming in the last four games, while the four steals ties his season high. After dealing with injuries in December and January, Martin appears to be back in form now, and over the last six contests he's averaged 12.2 points, 7.8 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Unflattering effort in loss
Rotowire
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: Leads from deep in double-double
Rotowire
Martin chipped in 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 100-97 win over the Cavaliers.
Martin connected on a team-leading four threes while finishing two points shy of the 20-point mark en route to a double-double outing. Martin set a season-high rebound mark in Tuesday's win, securing his first double-double of the season.
