Francisco Garcia - G/F - Kings

Francisco Garcia will start at point guard against the Wizards on Sunday, according to Sam Amick of the Sacramento Bee.
Bobby Jackson is out with fractured left cheek, and Beno Udrih is probable but the Kings look like they're going to ease him back in to things. Will Solomon was an option to start, but the Kings have opted to go with Garcia instead. Look for an above-average line from Garcia as he leads the Kings attack. Mar. 15

Caron Butler?

Late news but here it is crz.....


Caron Butler - G/F - Wizards

Caron Butler (hamstring) will not play against the Kings on Sunday, according to the Washington Post.
Butler will have an MRI taken on Monday that will determine his status going forward, and the report said, "don't be surprised if he doesn't make (the) four-game trip that opens Tuesday in Salt Lake City." The Wizards will bring Andray Blatche, who left Friday's game with an ankle injury, into the starting lineup to play alongside Darius Songaila. Mar. 15 - 5:47 p.m. ET

Jonas Hiller made 32 saves Wednesday in his second straight start. The backup's increased playing time comes as No. 1 goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere has lost three of his last four starts while compiling a 3.53 GAA.

Giguere, though, recorded a shutout against the Sharks on Oct. 17, stopping 38 shots to improve to 8-1-1 with a 1.76 GAA in his last 10 starts versus San Jose.
