Things could escalate quickly, as the Los Angeles Kings hope some star power will help them come lottery day.

The Kings are in talks with actor Will Ferrell about being their representative at the draft lottery in April, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, who adds it's unclear if it can happen.

Ferrell called the play-by-play for a period of a Kings game last season as his character, Ron Burgundy, from the movie "Anchorman." He's also a part-owner of MLS club LAFC.

The Kings have the league's second-worst record as of Tuesday night, which would give the club a 13.5% chance of earning the first overall pick.
