Denver Nuggets forward/center DeMarcus Cousins will play with the second unit Sunday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Nikola Jokic is dealing with a non-COVID illness, which is why he missed Friday's game. However, he is ready to rock Sunday, and he'll (obviously) immediately start in his return. Cousins to the bench is the corresponding move.
Our models project Cousins for 8.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 20.5 FanDuel points across 16.0 minutes of action.
