Nets' Tyrese Martin: Leads bench with 14 points Monday
Rotowire
Martin registered 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 110-95 loss to Miami.
Martin ended Monday's game as the Nets' leading scorer off the bench as he registered double-digit points for the third time this season. The 2022 second-round pick has spent time in the G League with the Long Island Nets, but he has seen his playing time off Brooklyn's bench increase as of late, and he could have a consistent role moving forward. Martin will look to build off a strong performance in the Nets' next game against the Bucks on Thursday.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Scores 15 points Monday
Rotowire
Martin recorded 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 128-102 loss to the Bulls.
Martin hasn't been able to replicate the 30-point outburst he delivered in the win over the Suns on Nov. 27, but he scored in double digits in his second career start. Martin is expected to be among the players who might experience an uptick in the usage rate due to Cam Thomas (hamstring) being sidelined for a few weeks. However, Martin is not expected to hover around the 30-point mark regularly going forward, especially if Ben Simmons (back), Cameron Johnson (ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) return to action soon.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Back to bench
Rotowire
Martin won't start Sunday's game against the Magic, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
With Dennis Schroder (personal) unavailable, Martin made a spot start Friday and scored eight points in 24 minutes. He's had an inconsistent role this season, but he scored 30 points in 28 minutes during his last appearance as a reserve. Martin figures to have a solid role Sunday despite moving to the bench, as Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), Cam Thomas (hamstring), Jaylen Martin (knee) and Noah Clowney (ankle) all remain out.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Production dips Friday
Rotowire
Martin closed Friday's 123-100 loss to the Magic with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.
Coming off a career-high 30 points only two days prior, Martin came back to earth, landing just eight points. Although the 30-point effort was something to behold, it appears as though it could very well be his best game of the season. Leading up to his career night, Martin had played in only five games all season, scoring a total of 12 points. He could maintain a meaningful role as long as the Nets are dealing with injuries, although his production is unlikely to warrant significant attention.

Martin is starting Friday against the Magic, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Scores career-high 30 points
Rotowire
Martin ended Wednesday's 127-117 win over the Suns with 30 points (10-13 FG, 8-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes.
To state that his performance came out of nowhere would be entirely accurate, as Martin had scored a combined 33 points in 21 previous career games at the NBA level before his scoring outburst. Martin will need to carve a steady role off the bench before being considered a potential waiver target in deep formats, as one game isn't enough to make him a player worth targeting in all leagues. However, Cam Thomas' (hamstring) multi-week absence should afford Martin a chance to prove Wednesday's game wasn't an outlier.
The Nets converted Martin to a two-way contract Saturday, Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com reports.
Martin had initially been on a training camp deal but has officially been converted to a two-way contract. The 25-year-old forward is now set to split time between the Nets and their G League affiliate in 2024-25.

Rotowire
The Nets signed Martin to a training camp deal Friday, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Martin will suit up for Brooklyn in training camp, but he will likely end up on the club's G League team, the Long Island Nets, if he does not secure the team's final two-way spot. The 25-year-old spent the 2023-24 campaign with the G League's Iowa Wolves, during which he averaged 17.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals over 35.1 minutes per game over 33 appearances.
