Heat's Caleb Martin: Career-high 12 rebounds in win
Rotowire
Martin finished with 24 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 win over Toronto.
It was also Martin's fifth career double-double as he and center Orlando Robinson combined for 24 of the Heat's 44 rebounds. It was the first time this season that Martin drew a start, and he stepped up by leading in scoring for the second time this season while registering a plus-17 point differential, third highest on the team. He could continue to see more playing time moving forward for as long as Haywood Highsmith (back) and Tyler Herro (ankle) remain sidelined.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Will play through shoulder bruise
Rotowire
Martin is available for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto despite a shoulder contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Martin notched season highs in points (22) and minutes (31) during Saturday's loss to the Nets. It appears he also suffered a shoulder injury during the contest, but it's not serious enough to sideline him. With Miami banged up, Martin should continue to see increased playing time and usage versus the Raptors.

Heat's Caleb Martin: Scores season-high 22 points
Rotowire
Martin recorded 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 112-97 loss to the Nets.
Martin logged a season-high 31 minutes in the loss, dropping 22 points, also a season high. The Heat were without a number of key pieces Saturday, affording additional playing time to Martin, among others. While he should not be looked at as a must-roster player, if Haywood Highsmith (back) is forced to miss time, Martin might be worth taking a flier on given what we know he can do.
