What It Means:

Cousins has missed the last two games with the ankle sprain but remains a question mark for Wednesday. He will try to give it a go at shootaround to determine his status versus the Mavericks. With the Pels likely out of the playoffs, there is no need for Cousins to push it. Dante Cunningham would start again in his place if he is unable to give it a go.

Cousins has averaged 22.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in the 13 games he has played with New Orleans.
