Singler (coach's decision) didn't play in Monday's Game 5 win over the Mavericks.

Analysis:

Coach Billy Donovan tightened his rotation over the last three games of the series, as Singler failed to leave the pine for any of those contests. That figures to remain the case heading into the Thunder's second-round matchup with the Spurs, when Donovan will likely be forced to lean on his starters even more heavily than he did against the Mavericks.
