George Karl said on Friday that DeMarcus Cousins will not play on the road for the rest of the season.

The good news for fantasy owners using next week as their playoff week is that he will play all three games, so the absences are piling up in a fairly tidy way. He’ll miss the final two road games of the season in Week 25 if this report holds up. Willie Cauley-Stein gets the start on Friday against the Heat and he’s a must-start play the rest of the way, and Kosta Koufos will be a solid play for the next two games including tonight — and then again in Week 25.
