DeMarcus Cousins flirts with a triple-double Monday for Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins went off for 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting, to go with 14 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1 steal in a 130-123 loss to the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Cousins was only 6-for-11 from throw free throw line, which ended up hurting his overall line, and the Pelicans' chances of winning. Still, he played well on the second night of a back to back, and Cousins will get a day off Tuesday before playing again on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Our early models for Wednesday project Cousins for 50.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $12,000.
