Chase Budinger is starting in place of Kevin Martin on Saturday night vs. the Blazers. Chances are this will stick for the Wolves with Martin (thumb) out indefinitely. Budinger's knee injury has kept his minutes in check and he's only played 14.8 per game over his last five. He is also really struggling on the season, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field. Unless you really need 3-pointers, there isn't much incentive to picking him up until he proves otherwise. J.J. Barea could also be used more when the team needs offense. Alexey Shved should see more minutes, but his terrible percentages have never really helped fantasy owners much.
