Top Stat Lines Of NBA Week 8

#3 Cousins has monster game; scores 42 and grabs 22 boards

The New Orleans Pelicans knocked off the visiting Denver Nuggets 114-123 and DeMarcus Cousins became the first player since Patrick Ewing in 1989-90 to have multiple 40/20 games in a season.

DeMarcus Cousins dominant

Boogie dominated the game with Anthony Davis out due to injury. He had his second 40 and 20 game of 2017-2018, and we're not even halfway through the season. No one else in the league has had a 40/20 performance in the season. His stat line for the game:

40 pts, 22 reb, 4 ast, 4 blk, 12-25 FG, 2-6 3P FG, 14-21 FT

He is shooting 46.7% from the field and 34.1% from range while attempting a career-high 6.6 3-pointers per game. His ability to stretch the floor creates problems for the opposition, especially with Anthony Davis playing alongside him. Two elite bigs stretching the floor at will are a tough proposition to deal with. The Pelicans have a lot of potential in this league. They have a 14-13 record and sit on the 7th spot in the Western Conference.
