Collison (hamstring) is hoping to return to the court Wednesday against the Hawks, CSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collison missed his fifth straight game Sunday, but with a pair of off days on tap before Wednesday's contest, the backup point guard is hoping to get back on the floor. "Wednesday seems like more of the target date," Collison said following Sunday's gam. "Tonight was going to be the night where I go out there and play, but after working on it yesterday, we decided to give it one more game and go from there." Once Collison returns, he should be back to seeing close to 30 minutes per game off the bench, though Rajon Rondo has played well in his absence, seeing an extremely high minutes load while posting three triple-doubles in the Kings' last five games. Rondo has played at least 43 minutes in each game over that stretch.
