Kings to be without Rudy Gay (rest), Kosta Koufos (rest) Tuesday

Sacramento Kings forward Rudy Gay and forward/center Kosta Koufos will be rested for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

What It Means:

DeMarcus Cousins is expected to return from a two-game stint on the sidelines tonight, and with Gay unavailable, Boogie is going to be extremely busy on offense. There should also be more shots to go around for guys like Seth Curry and Darren Collison. James Anderson could also move into the starting five, but he's not an option in most leagues.

Gay is just inside the top-100 with a -2.2 nERD on the season. His 22.3 Usage Rate is the lowest since his rookie season, while he is averaging 17.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 3-pointers per game on 46.6 percent shooting from the field.
