DeMarcus Cousins started on Friday with Nuggets star Nikola Jokic out with an illness.
DENVER — The Nuggets are DeMarcus Cousins’ third team since leaving the Rockets last season, with the 25 games he played with the Rockets still the most he has played with any team in his past four stops. He might have found a home.
Cousins started Friday with Nuggets star Nikola Jokic out with an illness. His production has been inconsistent, but the Denver bench has played well since adding him to play in the middle. “This might be the fit,” Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. “He’s played very well since he’s been here. They’ve played very well as a team since he’s been here. It could be just the right place at the right time for him. He is so talented, he can play inside, outside, he’s physical, he can rebound. This might be it.”
The Nuggets do not use Cousins as a point-center, as they do with Jokic, but they do run offense through him at times, as teams have over the years. “He’s a very good passer,” Silas said. “They post him up some. They play them similarly and don’t have to change too much. He’ll receive the ball, and they’ll give it to him in the post or give it to him at the top of the floor. With Jokic, he’s the one bringing it down the floor, sometimes they’ll set a little screen for him and then he’ll go down into the post and he’ll have the ball for 94 feet.
