Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, De'Andre Hunter and Domantas Sabonis will start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.Hunter will make his Kings' debut as a starter, pushing Precious Achiuwa out of the starting lineup. As a starter, Hunter possesses a higher fantasy ceiling, but he may only be in that role until Keegan Murray returns from his sprained left ankle. Westbrook and Sabonis are back in the lineup, with the latter having missed Sacramento's last three games.
