Pelicans' DeMarcus Cousins: Sharp in return to lineup Wednesday

Cousins finished with 29 points (9-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists and a blocked shot over 40 minutes in Wednesday's 121-118 win against the Mavericks.

Analysis:

Cousins missed the past two games due to a sprained right ankle, but he did not seem to have any ill effects from the injury. As expected, he also did not play with any type of limitations or restrictions, so it appears safe to plug him back into the active lineup in all fantasy leagues if you haven't already done so.
