DeMarcus Cousins Notches Another Double-Double
DeMarcus Cousins logged a season-high 32 minutes on Thursday against Orlando, which helped him register his fourth consecutive double-double. He finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds, shooting a solid 8-for-16 from the field, even though he missed all four attempts from three-point land. Cousins ended the month strongly, producing back-to-back 20-point games, but continuing the streak could prove to be difficult on Saturday if Joel Embiid (knee) returns for the Sixers. Cousins had only seven points on 30 percent shooting in the last meeting between the two, while Embiid recorded a huge 26-point, 20-rebound double-double.

DeMarcus Cousins Now Listed As Available Wednesday
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.

DeMarcus Cousins Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game
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.

DeMarcus Cousins Uncertain For Wednesday
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.

DeMarcus Cousins Won't Play Against Bucks
DeMarcus Cousins (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cousins won't get a chance to take on his former team due to a right foot sprain. JaMychal Green, Zeke Nnaji, and Jeff Green are all available, so the Nuggets will have plenty of options at center. None of them are great streaming options, but Nnaji has been hot recently. Hopefully this foot issue won't cost Cousins significant time.
