Milwaukee Bucks center Greg Monroe downplayed a big performance in win over his former team, saying he brings the same intensity regardless of the opponent.
Despite those words, he may have to take his game to another level for a matchup with one of basketball's best big men, if he is healthy.
All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins injured his back in Sacramento's last game and his availability is uncertain for Wednesday night's game in Milwaukee.
After being outscored by an average of 27.0 points during an 0-3 trip, the Bucks (6-8) bounced back with a 109-88 win over Detroit on Monday.
