Description: Kings center DeMarcus Cousins dominated the Clippers for 36 points and 22 rebounds Wednesday in the season finale. | Insight: The NBA's favorite knucklehead finished just shy of averaging a double-double for the season (17.1 ppg, 9.9 rpg). He didn't quite have the breakout year we all expected but Cousins is still plenty valuable in the fantasy game. | | |

Description: The league has rescinded Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins' technical foul from Sunday. SOURCE: Jason Jones, Sacramento Bee | Insight: That's significant because Cousins would have been suspended had the technical stayed on the record. Instead, he should be in for a solid game Monday against a shorthanded Oklahoma City squad (Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Martin both out with injuries). | | |

Description: Kings center DeMarcus Cousins won't start Friday against Dallas. Coach Keith Smart is calling it a "coach's decision." SOURCE: Aaron Bruski, NBC Sports | Insight: Looks like Cousins did something to tick off Smart. This happens pretty frequently so fantasy owners shouldn't be too surprised by this news. Smart's job is on thin ice and his rocky relationship with the team's star player certainly isn't helping his case. We're sure this won't be the last we hear about the Cousins/Smart saga. | | |

Description: Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins (bruised quad) will be available for Tuesday's game, according to Kings broadcaster Grant Napear. | Insight: Cousins has missed the last two games with a left thigh contusion and still is not 100 percent. He had 46 points and 24 rebounds in his last two games before the injury but it's unclear if he will start or come off the bench Tuesday. Still, with just four NBA games on the docket Tuesday, fantasy owners have to start him. | | |

Description: Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins (bruised quad) has missed the Kings' last two games, but did practice on Monday. | Insight: Cousins is only averaging 13.7 ppg in March, his lowest output for any month this season, but he had 46 points and 24 rebounds in his last two games before the injury. He told the Sacramento Bee that it's "still not exactly where I want it to be," so he could easily sit out another game. | | |

Description: Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins (bruised quad) will miss Sunday's game against the Lakers. | Insight: Cousins is only averaging 13.7 ppg in March, his lowest output for any month this season, but he had 46 points and 24 rebounds in his last two games before missing Wednesday's game. It's a bad sign that he hasn't recovered with four more days of rest. | | |

Description: Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins will accompany the team Sunday as they travel to take on the Lakers. Cousins missed Wednesday's game against Chicago because of a bruised left quad. | Insight: That's a good sign but it's far from a guarantee that Cousins will be suiting up on Sunday. Cousins' 13.7 ppg scoring average in March is his lowest for any month this season. | | |

Description: Wednesday marked the latest chapter in the DeMarcus Cousins/Keith Smart soap opera. The Kings center was benched for the entire second and fourth quarters and finished with just five points in 20 minutes in a loss at Golden State. | Insight: Since logging 49 minutes against the Heat on February 26th, Cousins has averaged just 23 mpg in five appearances. Cousins is no stranger to getting benched but usually it's because of his bad attitude. This latest benching, however, appears to be based on performance as Cousins has shot just 3-of-22 (13.6 percent) over his last two games. | | |

Description: Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins had his third straight double-double with 24 points, 15 boards, five assists and two steals in Tuesday's double-overtime loss to Miami. | Insight: Cousins is averaging 22 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 steals over his last three games and is putting up a double-double for the season with 17.5 ppg and 10.1 rpg. | | |

Description: Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins made his presence felt with 26 points and 13 boards Friday against Atlanta. | Insight: Cousins hasn't had any blowups with coaches lately and seems to be finding his groove again.

| Hot | 1/21/2013 3:48:00 PM |
Description: Kings center DeMarcus Cousins continued his dynamic production with a 29-point, 13-rebound, three-assist game against New Orleans. It was his fifth consecutive double-double and 20th of the season. | Insight: Cousins has all the talent in the world, but the inconsistency and lack of direction of an R.A. Dickey knuckleball. The very definition of high-risk, high-reward. | | |
| Hot | 1/15/2013 5:26:00 PM |
Description: Kings center DeMarcus Cousins is averaging 20.1 points with a .480 shooting percentage, 12 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks in 10 games since returning from a two-game suspension. | Insight: Cousins has produced at the level fantasy owners expected following a two-game exile from the team. While the buy-low window has closed, Cousins' instability means he likely isn't considered untouchable by his current owners. | | |
| Hot | 1/5/2013 10:21:00 PM |
Description: Kings center DeMarcus Cousins stayed hot with 28 points and 11 rebounds Saturday in a loss to Brooklyn. | Insight: Cousins has averaged 24.5 ppg and 15.3 rpg during Sacramento's four-game road trip.

Description: Kings center DeMarcus Cousins netted 21 points with 14 rebounds, two assists and three steals Tuesday versus Detroit. | Insight: Cousins has shown the damage he can do for fantasy owners the last three games, averaging 16 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 steals after being suspended for two games. While the Kings are considering giving up on the talented but troubled Cousins, fantasy owners shouldn't follow suit. | | |

Description: SacTown Royalty reports that Kings center DeMarcus Cousins' agent has been in contact with the Bobcats, Celtics, Magic and Mavericks about a potential trade. | Insight: Talks are supposedly "ongoing" but then again we've seen Sacramento flirt with the idea of trading Cousins before and then back out at the last second. Grantland's Bill Simmons recently suggested a three-way deal between the Celtics, Raptors and Kings that would send Cousins to Boston in exchange for Rajon Rondo, Courtney Lee and Fab Melo (the Raptors would get Tyreke Evans and Isaiah Thomas with Kyle Lowry, Chuck Hayes and Jimmer Fredette also going to Boston). Meanwhile Cousins, who was reinstated from a two-game suspension earlier in the week, recorded a triple-double Sunday in a win over the Celtics (12 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds). | | |

Description: Sam Amick of USA Today reports that Kings ownership made the decision to reinstate suspended center DeMarcus Cousins. | Insight: This report makes it seem like Cousins would probably still be suspended if it had been up to head coach Keith Smart. This is an ugly situation and one that probably won't end well for the struggling Kings. Cousins had 15 points and 10 rebounds Friday night in his return to the lineup. | | |
