Muhammad could start Friday, Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Head coach Flip Saunders noted recently that he is considering benching Corey Brewer in favor of Muhammad to give the team another scoring option to start the game. Muhammad has already been averaging nearly 25 minutes per game over the month of December, so a move to the starting role would not necessarily lead to significantly more playing time. What this move could indicate is a preference of Muhammad over Brewer, which could result in Brewer being traded away, which would increase Muhammad fantasy value significantly.
