Beat writer Darnell Mayberry expects Nick Collison to play more in Friday's Game 6 vs. Houston.
Scott Brooks has very strangely not played Collison over 20 minutes in any game, and it's about time he proved capable of making an adjustment when it's desperately needed. Collison averaged 19.5 minutes during the regular season but has not played that much in any game during the playoffs. May 3 - 1:30 PM

Date:
Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison, who sat out the regular season finale to rest, will be available for Game 1 against the Rockets.

Collison was never nursing an injury so this is just a reminder that he's good to go and will see his traditional role off the bench.

Nick Collison (rest) will sit out of Wednesday's season finale.

Collison will get the night off as he prepares for the playoffs. Hasheem Thabeet and Daniel Orton will be the primary big men for OKC.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison (groin) was active on Sunday, as expected, playing 26 minutes off OKC's bench.

He finished with 10 points, six rebounds and one steal, fairly typical numbers for the blue-collar backup big man.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison (groin) missed practice on Saturday to receive treatment and is expected to play on Sunday.

He returned on Friday and scored 11 points in 19 minutes. Collison's game fits in well with the Thunder stars, but he has very little fantasy value.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison (groin contusion) played on Friday against the Magic, scoring 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting with three rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes.

That's pretty standard fare for Collison, except for the whole groin bruise thing, and he has no real value in most formats.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison will be a game-time decision on Friday against the Magic due to a groin contusion.

That does not sound pleasant. Collison hasn't received a blurb since the end of January which tells you his relevance in fantasy leagues, but if he sits out, it would mean Serge Ibaka would likely see more minutes and that's a bigger takeaway than Collison's absence. Kendrick Perkins would also be asked to play more minutes than usual if Collison is sidelined.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison logged a season-high 41 minutes against the Clippers on Tuesday and had eight points, seven boards, two assists, one steal and two blocks.

Kendrick Perkins had four fouls in seven minutes, so Collison was given some extra burn in the win. The Kansas product couldn't produce with Serge Ibaka out of the lineup last week, so there's no reason to pick him up in most formats.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison (ankle) returned to action on Friday against the Mavs, scoring eight points on 4-of-6 shooting with five rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench.

Collison returns to his low-minute role off the bench and has no real fantasy value.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison (ankle) will play against the Mavericks on Friday.

He couldn't make an impact even with Serge Ibaka out for two games, so Collison's prospects as a fantasy asset don't look good in even deep leagues. He belongs on the waiver wire.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison sprained his right ankle in the first half of Wednesday's game and he will not return.

Collison played just 19.0 minutes per game with Serge Ibaka out of the lineup in the past two games, so he barely has any value. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison made a fill-in start for Serge Ibaka (chest) in Sunday's game, scoring eight points and grabbing three boards in 22 minutes.

Ibaka's absence was keenly felt, as LaMarcus Aldridge poured in 33 points, and Collison barely played more than he does with OKC at full strength. His fantasy value is strictly limited to the deepest leagues.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison scored 10 points and pulled down eight rebounds in 21 minutes of the bench in Sunday's easy 104-92 win over the Raptors.

He has picked it up in his last five games, averaging 8.4 points, 6.2 boards and 1.0 steals in 21 minutes. Collison is still in a time-share split with Kendrick Perkins (four points, seven boards and on steal in 24 minutes) and neither have value in standard leagues.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison just missed a double-double in 20 minutes with 10 points and nine rebounds against the Suns on Monday.

He had a double-double on Saturday with 12 and 10, but these performances were his best two games in over three weeks, and we'd leave him on the waiver wire in most formats.

Nick Collison - F/C - Thunder

Nick Collison notched his first double-double of the season on Saturday with 12 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals in an easy win over the Rockets.

Collison made 6-of-10 FGs, and four of his rebounds came on the offensive glass, but this is a fluky performance with no lasting implications. His season averages explain why -- 5.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in 19 minutes per game.
