Martin scored 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Monday's loss to the Hawks.
In six games since returning to the starting lineup following his wrist injury, Martin is averaging 19.8 points, 5.3 boards, 1.7 threes and 1.5 steals. He won't help your field goal percentage, but if you need a shooter he could be a worthwhile player to target.

Martin moved back into the starting lineup Saturday after playing the first two games since his return off the bench, scoring 14 points (6-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with six rebounds, one assists and one steal in 37 minutes.
Martin has failed hit over 40 percent of his shots in his three games back, but has still been productive, averaging 18.0 points with 1.7 three-pointers and 4.0 rebounds. If Martin has been left on your waiver-wire, you should be pouncing on him.

Martin is back in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Cavaliers.
Martin has shown himself well in two games since an extended layoff due to a fractured wrist, averaging 20 points, three assists, three rebounds, and two treys in 30 minutes. With an inexperienced guard, Lorenzo Brown, manning the point Saturday due to injuries in front of him, Martin could act in more of a facilitator role in his return to the starting five.

Martin averaged 21.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 31 minutes per game in November prior to the injury.
