DeMarcus Cousins’ fantasy basketball stock, already ridiculously high, just exploded. Rookie Willie Cauley-Stein, whom the Sacramento Kings have often tried to play beside Cousins, is expected to miss a huge chunk of time after suffering a right index injury in Thursday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics. Marc J. Spears came bearing the bittersweet news: [...]

All is not well with the Sacramento Kings. Things are just better than we thought. At 7-12, with one of the five worst records in the Western Conference, the Kings don’t have any reason to celebrate. They’re on pace to win 30 games for the first time during the DeMarcus Cousins era. That’s it, and [...]
