Martin produced 10 points (5-9 FG), six rebounds, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Tuesday's 99-97 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Martin' dunk off a rebound with 0.6 seconds remaining tied the game at 97, setting up the Suns' innovative winning basket on the next play. The 23-year-old has seen double-digit minutes off the bench in five of the last six games, posting double-digit scoring efforts in two of those contests. He continues to provide serviceable production on the glass, but his inconsistent scoring contributions limit his overall fantasy upside.

Martin was assigned to the G-League on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Martin has fallen out of the rotation now the Grizzlies are relatively healthy in the frontcourt, so he'll join the Memphis Hustle for an opportunity to see big minutes in a game setting. In his first G-League appearance this season, Martin had nine points and eight rebounds in a win over the Iowa Wolves on Nov. 17.

Martin was recalled from the G-League's Memphis Hustle on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With starting power forward JaMychal Green making his return from an ankle injury Wednesday, Martin's role will likely be reduced moving forward. Even in deep leagues, it seems somewhat inadvisable to keep Martin around, since he was averaging just 5.0 points and 4.2 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per game prior to Green's return.

Martin was assigned to the G-League on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The LSU product was a key component of the Grizzlies' rotation through the first month of the season, but with the roster now mostly healthy, Martin will join the Memphis Hustle, where he'll have an opportunity to see regular minutes. In Wednesday's loss to the Pacers, Martin saw his first DNP-CD of the season.

Martin is expected to move into a reserve role for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with JaMychal Green (ankle) set to return from a 12-game absence, Ronald Tillery of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin started all 12 games at power forward while Green was sidelined, averaging 5.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 20.8 minutes per contest. The third-year big man's playing time will only fall from here now that Green is healthy again, thereby eliminating most of Martin's minimal fantasy value.

Martin (knee) is active and available to play in Monday's matchup with the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Martin was dealing with a knee injury that he likely picked up in Saturday's game against the Rockets, though after testing it out during pregame warmups, he's now been given the green light to take the court Monday. With JaMychal Green (foot/ankle) still sidelined, Martin should once again work with the top unit. In 11 starts this season, Martin has averaged 5.5 points and 4.4 rebounds across 21.7 minutes, so he's not an overly intriguing fantasy play.

Martin is dealing with a knee injury and is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin suffered the injury during Saturday's loss to the Rockets, but it's listed as just a tweak and he was able to go through shootaround Monday morning, so it doesn't seem like anything overly serious. He appears to be on track to play Monday, though Martin will likely test the injury out again during pregame warmups before a final decision is made on his availability.

Martin will have his fourth-year option for the 2018-19 season picked up by the Grizzlies, Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martin has found himself squarely in the Grizzlies' rotation this season after two years of spattered playing time. His newfound ability to stretch the court beyond the three-point line is a major reason for why he was awarded another year onto his current contract, although he might see a dip in playing time when JaMychal Green (ankle) returns at some point in mid-November.

Martin supplied 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 98-90 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Martin is a big man who looks like a guard on offense. With JaMychal Green (ankle) set to miss several weeks, Martin is doing well in his effort to hold down the starting power forward spot in the short term, posting averages of 9.5 points (on 47.1 percent shooting), 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steal, 0.5 assists, and 0.5 threes in 25.0 minutes in these last two tilts against elite opponents.

Martin will get the start at power forward Saturday against the Warriors, Phillip Dean of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
With JaMychal Green (ankle) sidelined, Martin will move into the lineup alongside Marc Gasol up front. The 23-year-old logged 19 minutes off the bench in the opener against New Orleans but struggled from the floor, shooting just 1-of-6 and finishing with two points, five rebounds and one block. Considering Green is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, Martin could see extended run with the first unit over the next month.
