Collison tallied 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 FT), three assists and a rebound over 25 minutes in Thursday's 99-97 victory over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old former starter and Rajon Rondo continue to form a highly effective tandem at point guard. Collison has now posted eight double-digit scoring performances over the last nine contests, and equaled a season-best seven field goals Thursday in the process of posting his second 16-point outing in the last three games. The veteran heated up from the field, after having managed a sub-par 37.5 success rate with his shot in two of those games. At present, Collison seems like a safe bet for a minimum of about 25 minutes per night and solid scoring totals over that span, although he often fails to contribute much of substance in other major categories.
