Timberwolves' Kevin Martin: Will start Tuesday

Martin will start Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

With Andrew Wiggins sitting out with a knee injury, Martin will take his spot in the starting lineup. Martin is averaging 17.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists over 27 minutes per game this season off the bench, but could see his minutes, as well as his overall production increase with Wiggins sidelined. As soon as the Timberwolves get back to full health, look for Martin to move back into a reserve role off the bench.
