Ten Before Tip: NBA news from Monday night

? The Kings (15-32) host the Bulls (23-23) tonight at Sleep Train Arena and they will have one of their biggest weapons back in uniform. Sacramento's seven-game losing streak coincides with starting center DeMarcus Cousins' going down with a left ankle sprain. Cousins originally injured the ankle on Jan. 22 against the Houston Rockets and he has missed the Kings last six games. Cousins is set to return tonight to take on the Bulls, who are currently tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings. "He's going to try and play like the old DeMarcus, but it's not going to happen right away, I don't think," coach Michael Malone said. "I imagine he may get a little fatigued right away as well. We'll monitor that. If we have to get him out quickly, give him a quick breather, we will."
