Nets' Tyrese Martin: Scores 20 in season finale
Rotowire
Martin logged 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and a block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to the Knicks.
Martin entered the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup due to the team being without many key rotational players, and he was able to put together an efficient scoring night. Although he tied for a team high in scoring, he struggled to take care of the ball, losing six turnovers while dishing out just one assist. Overall, the second-year pro had a solid conclusion to the season, producing double-digit scoring efforts in three of his last five appearances, including two with at least 20 points.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Puts up 20 points Saturday
Rotowire
Martin ended with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-112 victory over Washington.
Martin returned to the starting lineup for this matchup and did it in style, reaching the 20-point mark for just the third time this season and playing a key role in this tight win against a lowly Washington team. Martin has scored in double digits in only five of his 10 starts this season, and in only six of 15 outings since the beginning of March. That lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside a bit, but he should experience a bump in his fantasy stock if he finds a way to remain in the first unit in the final weeks of the regular season.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Pours in 19 during loss
Rotowire
Martin contributed 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 22 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 loss to the Bulls.
Martin finished as the club's second-leading scorer in an efficient outing, tying his third-highest scoring outing across 48 regular-season appearances. The 26-year-old forward has carved out a significant role this season, mainly providing a spark from the second unit. Over his last five appearances, Martin has averaged 12.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 22.4 minutes per contest.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Pops for 17 off bench
Rotowire
Martin notched 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Warriors.
It's the third time in the last six games that Martin has produced at least 15 points, although the 26-year-old wing has just 17 points combined in the other three contests during that stretch. Martin's presence on the second unit as an outside threat -- he's drained at least one three-pointer in nine straight games -- will keep him in the rotation, but he hasn't shown enough consistency to earn a bigger role.

Martin ended Monday's 107-99 loss to the Wizards with 15 points (4-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 23 minutes.
Martin wasn't that efficient from inside the arc Monday, but he found more success from three-point range as he connected on three triples for the fourth time this season. Martin recently had his two-way contract converted to a standard NBA contract for his solid contributions off the bench. He has averaged 8.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 23.7 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Will get standard contract
Rotowire
Martin will have his two-way deal converted to a standard contract ahead of Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Martin used up his eligibility as a two-way player, but that won't be a concern going forward with a new contract on the way. "Nobody deserves it more than him," coach Jordi Fernandez said. "He worked the whole summer. He's about what we're trying to build here. He helps us build the culture." Martin has averaged 7.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.5 steals in 21.0 minutes per contest this season.

Rotowire
Martin ended with four points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 22 minutes during Monday's 97-89 win over the Hornets.
Although Martin's overall output in the box score appears underwhelming, he was notably able to record a career-high three steals off Brooklyn's bench. With the Nets' roster relatively healthy, the 25-year-old two-way player isn't playing a particularly pronounced role at the moment. Over his last nine games, Martin has averaged 7.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 threes in 23.5 minutes.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Sitting out Wednesday
Rotowire
The Nets list Martin as inactive for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Martin doesn't appear on the Nets' injury report, but Brooklyn is likely making him inactive because he's approaching his season limit of 50 active games as a two-way player. The third-year guard had appeared in each of Brooklyn's last 22 games, averaging 8.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 23.9 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Martin ended with two points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 108-84 loss to Phoenix.
Making his sixth start of the season in place of the injured Cameron Johnson (ankle) on Wednesday, Martin floundered with his lowest scoring output in a starting role this season.

With Johnson's name swirling around in trade rumors ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, Martin could still find himself making additional starts for the rebuilding Nets later during the second half of the campaign.

Martin had 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 127-101 loss to the Thunder.
The 25-year-old wing continues to fill a significant role for the injury-plagued Nets. Martin has played at least 20 minutes in eight of the last nine games (three starts), draining at least one three-pointer in all nine appearances while averaging 11.6 points, 4.8 boards, 2.6 assists and 2.0 threes in 28.2 minutes.

The 25-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 threes in 30.2 minutes through four outings as a starter for the Nets this year, so Martin could be a decent source of swipes and treys in fantasy leagues against Los Angeles.
