Nick Cousins Stats, Heat & Form 2026–27

SCOUTING REPORT · AI, FROM THE NUMBERS

The player.

WHO HE IS · LONG TERM

Nick Cousins is a grinder, not a glider. His point production tells the story of a player who’s carved out a career by being a tenacious forechecker and a responsible presence, willing to do the dirty work in the tough areas rather than lighting up the scoreboard. At just over 9 minutes a night, he’s the kind of reliable, no-nonsense center who makes the players around him a little bit better and the opposition’s life a little bit harder.

RIGHT NOW · LAST 5 GAMES

Nick Cousins is experiencing a bit of a dip in offensive production lately, with his points per minute dropping by 26% over his last five games. While his shooting percentage has spiked, suggesting he's been more opportunistic when he *does* get a chance, the lack of consistent offensive output in his recent game log points to a cold spell rather than a sustainable hot streak. Despite an increase in ice time, Cousins isn't translating that extra opportunity into points, making him a player to monitor from a distance for now.
