DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $11,400

With Rudy Gay out of the lineup over the last seven games, DeMarcus Cousins has seen a significant increase on what was already an impressive 37.2% usage rate, jumping to 41.0% in that span. That's played a big role in him averaging 51.0 fantasy points per game in January, which is third-best in the league.

That production has come despite the Kings ranking only 27th in pace this month, and he should see some extra possessions against a Rockets team that has ranked third in that department over that same period of time.

Houston has also really struggled on the glass this month, ranking 26th in rebound rate, while their 108.4 defensive rating is also below average. As we just mentioned for Harden, this game has one of the highest over/unders on the slate, which should enable Cousins to keep his production rolling on Tuesday.
