Zach Randolph

Zach Randolph (mouth) ruled out for Kings opener on Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Zach Randolph (oral surgery) has been ruled out for the Kings' opener against the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Randolph missed morning shootaround, so it's not surprising to see him sit out Wednesday's game. It's unknown right now who will start for him, but expect Willie Cauley-Stein, Skal Labissiere, and Georgios Papagiannis to all see a bump in minutes.

Our Matchup Heat Map has the Kings with a 105.5 implied total, which ranks 8th-best on the Wednesday slate.
