Kings guard Marco Belinelli (hamstring) scored 32 points (12-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-8 FT) and added four assists, three boards, and three steals in 34 minutes in the Kings' preseason opener against Portland.
Belinelli has shown the ability to light it up from time to time in the past, but don't anticipate Monday's excellent shooting display to earn him a massive role in the Kings' rotation to begin the regular season. Ben McLemore still seems to be entrenched as coach George Karl's preferred starter at shooting guard, leaving Belinelli to come off the bench as the Kings' sixth or seventh man.
