...In previous seasons, Sacramento might have been one of those games that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich could have afforded to give Duncan or McDyess extended rest or enable them to sit out for the game entirely.
But Sacramento rookie center DeMarcus Cousins has averaged 24 points per game and 9.3 rebounds in his last three contests. The Kentucky product’s development was a key reason why the Kings were able to beat the Lakers in Los Angeles last week, beat New Orleans and nearly beat Boston before falling, 95-90, on Tuesday night.
Cousins is a big, beefy challenge at 6-foot-11 and 270 pounds. He will be a formidable challenge for whoever is playing inside for the Silver and Black.
...The Spurs need contributions from Splitter and hope that DeJuan Blair stays out of foul trouble to buy some extra rest for Duncan and McDyess over the rest of the season.
One other factor is that the Spurs won’t be playing again until Tuesday night at Detroit — a four-day break that will enable them to return to San Antonio for some of their preparations before their next game.
So look for Duncan and McDyess both to play tonight with hopes of giving them plenty of rest during the upcoming break away from game action before the next game.
