THE CORE

1) DeMarcus Cousins, C, New Orleans Pelicans – $10,700

I’m writing this on Saturday morning and Anthony Davis pulled an Anthony Davis on Friday night, leaving the Pelicans/Jazz game early due to an injury. From what I’ve read, he couldn’t even put any weight on his leg, was dealing with a groin injury already and had to leave the locker room on crutches. It didn’t sound good and he’s listed as doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Trailblazers. Without Brow, I want all the Boogie.
