Kings' DeMarcus Cousins scores 32 and knocks down five three-pointers

Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins made a career-high five 3-pointers during a 117-104 loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday, finishing with 32 points, nine rebounds, one assist and five blocks in just 30 minutes.

What It Means:

Boogie has turned up the Heat over his last four, scoring 30-plus points in three of them. However, in games where Cousins scores 30, the Kings are only 1-6 this year, so they need to find some more balance if they want to improve in the win column.

Cousins is averaging 27.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 33.6 minutes. He has a .506 effective field goal percentage, which is currently a career high. His nERD of 2.2 ranks him 19th among all players.
