Chase Budinger played 29 minutes in a start in place of Kevin Martin (thumb) on Saturday, scoring a season-high 19 points with five boards, one assists, one steal and three 3-pointers. The Wolves really needed a guy to space the floor tonight with Kevin Love (quad) out and Budinger was the solution. He scored 22 points combined over his previous six games, so tonight's output is certainly a big surprise. Budinger has been hot before and could be worth a look, but there's almost no way he'll have many more nights like this one. We'd feel a lot better about picking him up with Love in the lineup.
