ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Beno Udrih, Shooting guard Kevin Martin, Small forward John Salmons, Power forward Jason Thompson, Center Spencer Hawes. Bench -- Forward/Guard Francisco Garcia, Guard Bobby Jackson, Forward Shelden Williams, Forward Mikki Moore.
PLAYER NOTES: --SF John Salmons is reportedly on Oklahoma City's wish list, as The Sacramento Bee has reported that the Thunder have interest in adding the seventh-year player to their roster. They could only be more interested after Sunday's performance, as Salmons had 23 points and 11 assists in a loss at Oklahoma City.
--F Mikki Moore is back in the Kings' rotation for the time being, having played 13, 19, and 16 minutes, respectively, in the last three games against Phoenix, Utah and Oklahoma City. Yet after having a season-high 12 points and seven rebounds against the Jazz, Moore was not nearly as productive with five points and four rebounds against the Thunder.
--G Beno Udrih has been the most culpable of all the Kings this season, underperforming almost every time out after securing a five-year deal last summer. But Udrih was the player the Kings thought they had signed on Sunday, scoring 29 points on 11 of 14 shooting against the Thunder. In the six previous games in which Udrih had played, he had scored a combined 28 points.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--C Brad Miller (left hip flexor strain, out at least two more games).
