Kings' Kosta Koufos: Not in Sunday's lineup

Koufos will come off the bench Sunday against the Raptors, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis:

Koufos started all but one of the Kings' first 13 games this season, but coach Dave Joerger decided to switch things up Sunday. DeMarcus Cousins will move over to center in place of Koufos, while Matt Barnes will enter the starting five to occupy one of the forward spots alongside Rudy Gay. Koufos' production has been minimal this season, and with the Kings expected to gravitate toward more small-ball lineups in the future, the veteran could be at risk at losing playing time.
