Pelicans' DeMarcus Cousins: Dominates glass Sunday vs. Bulls

Cousins collected 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and one block across 42 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 loss to the Bulls.

Analysis:

Cousins had his best rebounding effort since March 3 against the Spurs, where he grabbed 24 rebounds. Cousins had success throughout March, averaging 24.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks across 34.1 minutes per game. He also shot 40.6 percent from beyond the arc that month on 5.8 attempts per contest. While there was cause for concern that his stats might drop considering he would be sharing the floor with another dominant big man in Anthony Davis, he hasn't seemed to struggle in his new situation. He continues to be the fantasy player that he was prior to the trade -- one of the best options in any format.
