DeMarcus Cousins News
Power forward DeMarcus Cousins' first start as a member of the Denver Nuggets resulted in the veteran delivering a stat line reminiscent of his days racking up All-Star appearances -- 31 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals, all coming in just 24 minutes. Cousins, who shot 10-for-14 overall and 3-for-4 from behind the arc, feasted on a Rockets team that boasts the lowest defensive efficiency in the league, taking on starting duties in Nikola Jokic's (illness) absence. In six games as a starter in 2021-22 (the others coming as a member of the Bucks), Cousins has averaged 16.8 points and 8.5 boards, showcasing the fantasy relevance he will have moving forward if Jokic's illness sidelines him for any more time.
Updating a previous report, Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. About 45 minutes prior to tip-off, the Nuggets tweeted that Cousins would be out for the game due to a non-COVID illness, but that appears to no longer be the case as he is listed as "available" on the official injury report. While Cousins may indeed be available on Wednesday, the illness, which is being described as a gastrointestinal illness, may still prevent him from seeing the court in Wednesday's game.
Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a gastrointestinal illness. With Boogie sidelined, we could see both of the Nuggets' Greens - Jeff Green and JaMychal Green - take on some extra minutes. Cousins has been playing about 15 minutes per game off the bench since being acquired by the Nuggets in mid-January. He's been making the most of those limited minutes, averaging 6.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game over seven games in a Nuggets jersey.
Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully nothing serious. He has been a decent backup center in Denver, but doesn't provide much fantasy value. Zeke Nnaji (hamstring) has already been ruled out for this game. JaMychal Green could be looking at possible minutes in the low 20s on Wednesday. Despite that, it's tough to imagine Green having much value in most fantasy formats.
