DeMarcus Cousins goes through Kings' shootaround

Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins (back) went through shootaround on Monday and remains questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks.

What It Means:

Successfully making it through shootaround is encouraging. The star big man has missed four of the last six contests, including three straight.

Assuming he plays, our models expect Cousins to put up 24.2 points, 10.7 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 blocks against the Mavericks on Monday night. He's currently the 39th-rated player in the league, based on numberFire's signature nERD metric.
