According to NBA's official Twitter account, Kemba Walker from the Charlotte Hornets won the honors for the Eastern Conference. Cousins had a career-high 48 points with 13 rebounds during Sacramento's victory over Indiana on Saturday night. ESPN's Marc Stein reports that Cousins has seven 30-point, 10-rebound games this month -- no other player has multiple games with such a stat line in January.
