Pelicans' DeMarcus Cousins: Ruled out Tuesday vs. Lakers

Cousins (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Analysis:

Cousins will miss his third straight game, and it wouldn't be surprising if he was ultimately ruled out of Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Trail Blazers as well, given that the Pelicans have little incentive to run the star big man out on the court at less-than-optimal health. Anthony Davis (knee) is also sitting for a second straight game, so expect coach Alvin Gentry to divvy up the minutes in the frontcourt among Dante Cunningham, Alexis Ajinca, Donatas Motiejunas and Cheick Diallo.
