Pelicans will be without DeMarcus Cousins (ankle sprain) on Monday

New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins (right ankle sprain) will not play on Monday versus the Utah Jazz.

What It Means:

Cousins will miss his second straight game with the bum ankle and looks highly questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. Dante Cunningham is starting in his place but is not a great fantasy option.

Cunningham scored six points with eight rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes as he started in place of Cousins on Sunday.
