Kings make big lineup change in heat of Western Conference playoff race

Kings coach Dave Joerger knew he had a difficult decision to make. By the time he returned from the All-Star break, he had made up his mind.

Joerger unveiled a new lineup for Thursday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, moving Harrison Barnes to power forward and starting Bogdan Bogdanovic at small forward. Joerger went with that lineup again Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder and is expected to start the same group when the Kings (31-28) visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (28-31) on Monday night at Target Center.

Joerger said he intends to stick with his new starting lineup for the foreseeable future.
