Arthur will start at power forward for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

With Kenneth Faried sidelined again with back soreness, Arthur will make his second consecutive start Saturday. However, he only played 18 minutes in his start Thursday, registering just six points and one rebound in that span while Joffrey Lauvergne and Jusuf Nurkic each saw over 25 minutes of action. Given the Hornets' size in the front court, it's entirely possible head coach Mike Malone uses a similar minutes distribution Saturday even with Arthur starting.
