DeMarcus Cousins' triple-double can't propel Kings past Nets
Sacramento Kings power forward DeMarcus Cousins put up his first triple-double of the season with 24 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and four 3-pointers in 40 minutes against the Brooklyn Nets during a 128-119 loss on Friday.
What It Means:
Cousins was not happy at the end of this game as his team allowed the Nets to score a season-high 128 points. "Not going to keep blaming the guys in the locker room," Cousins said. "We got a bigger issue." Fire up the grass and snake emojis? The Kings are fading fast.
According to our nERD metric, Cousins has been a better fantasy asset than real-life player this year, ranking 55th with a 1.9 nERD.
