Barnes will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Zach Randolph (knee) is available off the bench after a two-game absence, but coach Dave Joerger looks like he'll restrict the power forward's minutes in his return. This opens up an opportunity for Barnes to record extended minutes, as he'll join a starting unit that features Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Jeff Green, and Marc Gasol. The expected increase in minutes could allow Barnes to surpass his season averages across the board in Tuesday's start.
