Kings' Rudy Gay: Will start Monday

Gay (hip) will start at small forward in Monday's game against the 76ers, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis:

After missing the last six games with a hip strain, Gay will return to the court Monday, as was expected. Though Gay's presence in the starting lineup suggests he'll make for a safe lineup option this week, he may see his minutes slightly monitored Monday, making him a somewhat unappealing DFS play. Nonetheless, Matt Barnes and Anthony Tolliver figure to see reduced roles now that Gay and Omri Casspi (illness) are available to play again.
