INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Channing Frye will start for Kevin Love at power forward tonight in the Cavs' game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, coach Tyronn Lue said.

This will be Frye's third start this season. He is one of only two big men available on Cleveland's roster. Tristan Thompson is the Cavs' starting center and Love is out with a lower back injury.

The T'Wolves start 7-footer Karl-Anthony Towns at center and 6-11 Gorgui Deng at power forward. Frye is also 6-11, but he's mostly a perimeter player.

Frye is seventh in the NBA in 3-point percentage (.425) this season, and has particularly enjoyed sharp-shooting status over his career against Minnesota. According to the Cavs' game notes, Frye is shooting .500 (45-90) from deep in 27 games against the T'Wolves, his highest percentage against any team.

Frye scored 13 points with three 3-pointers and seven rebounds off the bench in Monday's loss to Dallas.
