The Minnesota Timberwolves ( 1 - 1 ) defeated the Detroit Pistons ( 0 - 2 ) 97 - 91 on Thursday at the Target Center in Minneapolis . Kevin Martin returned to the active roster after having missed the team 's season opener Wednesday with a sprained ankle he had suffered in Tuesday 's practice . Somewhat surprisingly , the Timberwolves opted to bring Martin off the bench in favor of starting No . 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins at shooting guard and Corey Brewer at small forward . Wiggins played 24 minutes and finished with eight points and four rebounds . Martin played 20 minutes off the bench and finished with 12 points and two rebounds . Mo Williams was used at shooting guard late in the game next to Ricky Rubio to get more scoring into the lineup , and it 's possible that there could be a minutes battle at shooting guard for the Timberwolves for as long as Martin , Wiggins , and Williams are all on the roster together . Williams played 24 minutes off the bench and put up 13 points and four assists . The Pistons have a minutes battle in their backcourt as well . Starting point guard Brandon Jennings played just 16 minutes while backup point guard D.J . Augustin played 33 minutes off the bench and finished with 20 points and six assists . It 's unclear if coach Stan Van Gundy is trying to send a message to Jennings or if the starting job will soon be handed over to Augustin , but something is amiss with the Pistons turning to Augustin for more minutes in both of their games thus far this season . Second-year shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope received his second straight start and played a team - high 41 minutes to finish with 11 points , six rebounds , and two steals . Greg Monroe has completed his two - game suspension and will return for the Pistons for Saturday 's game against the Brooklyn Nets . The Timberwolves ' next game is at home Saturday against the Chicago Bulls .
