Kings' Kosta Koufos: Out Tuesday vs. Mavericks

Koufos will sit out Tuesday game against the Mavericks for rest purposes, James Ham of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Koufos will sit out his fourth straight game for rest purposes, and only two of those contests were part of a back-to-back scenario, so it appears the Kings could be leaning toward shutting the veteran center down for the season. If that's the case, Willie Cauley-Stein should be in store for around 30 minute per game as the starting center, while rookie Georgios Papagiannis remains a fixture in the rotation as Cauley-Stein's primary backup.
