As expected, Sacramento Kings All-Star DeMarcus Cousins will return to the lineup Monday night when his team hosts the Dallas Mavericks.
Cousins has missed the last three games after leaving during the final moments of Sacramento's overtime loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Nov. 23 with a stiff back.
The Kings are 1-7 on the season when "Boogie" isn't in uniform.
He's currently averaging a career-best 27.9 points, along with 11.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 blocks, in 10 appearances for Sacramento.
