DeMarcus Cousins will attempt to successfully follow up on one of the best games of his career, but will have to do so against a longtime nemesis, when the New Orleans Pelicans visit Dwight Howard and the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.
Cousins exploded for 44 points, 24 rebounds and 10 assists Monday night in a double-overtime win over the Chicago Bulls. It was the Pelicans' third extra-time victory in their last six games, a stretch during which they've won five times.
Cousins has gone just 6-12 in his career head-to-heads against Howard.
