Cousins is expected to reenter the starting lineup at center for Tuesday's tilt with the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

Cousins sat out both ends of the Kings' back-to-back set over the weekend, missing Friday's game against the Heat due to suspension and Saturday's tilt with the Nuggets for rest. Coach George Karl said that Cousins would be held out for the Kings' season-ending two-game road trip for further rest, but with three home games on tap this week, look for the big man to suit up for each of those contests. Though his status from game to game has been a bit shaky over the last month, Cousins' production hasn't suffered much when he's been on the court. He finished March with averages of 26.1 points (on 47.7% shooting from the field), 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 0.7 three-pointers over 34.6 minutes.
