Collins recorded 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Clippers. Collins has been playing well since being promoted to the starting lineup due to the absence of Walker Kessler (hip), and fantasy managers should be enjoying his uptick in fantasy value with his new role. Collins is averaging 21.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game as a starter, and he figures to remain in the first unit until Kessler is ready to return.

Collins recorded 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Clippers. Collins has been playing well since being promoted to the starting lineup due to the absence of Walker Kessler (hip), and fantasy managers should be enjoying his uptick in fantasy value with his new role. Collins is averaging 21.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game as a starter, and he figures to remain in the first unit until Kessler is ready to return.
Collins accumulated 16 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks in 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Kings. Collins continued to perform well at the five, but a switch to power forward is looming with Walker Kessler's (hip) return on the horizon. The Jazz have had to speed up Kyle Filipowski's development to lessen the Jazz's size disadvantage, and the rookie will eventually move back to a reserve role to make room for Collins when Kessler returns. A production fluctuation from Collins is a distinct possibility, but the scenario will become clearer next week.
Collins posted 28 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Thursday's 115-113 win over the Mavericks. Collins was dominant in his second start of the season, and he's making the most of the absence of Walker Kessler (hip). He finished just one rebound away from recording what would've been his fourth double-double over his last five outings, and he's also notched at least 25 points three times in that stretch. That includes his two starts, so his upside is trending in the right direction, especially since Kessler doesn't have a specific return date.
Collins logged 29 points (12-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Suns. With Walker Kessler (hip) out Tuesday, Collins made his first start of the season and dominated on both ends of the floor. The big man has produced an extremely well-rounded start to the season through 10 regular-season games, during which he has averaged 17.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks across 25.3 minutes per game. Collins has also been extremely efficient while shooting 52.0 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from downtown.
Collins is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Suns, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Collins will replace Walker Kessler (hip) in the starting five Tuesday. Collins is averaging 16.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.0 minutes across his last five appearances.
Collins chipped in 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 win over San Antonio. Collins turned in a double-double for the second time in three appearances, and he also set a new top mark on the young campaign with three steals. Both Collin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen contributed in big ways for the Jazz in the victory, but it was promising to see Collins also put up productive numbers alongside Utah's big two.
Collins amassed 28 points (12-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 135-126 win over the Bulls. Collins turned in his best scoring mark of the season and did so an efficient manner. The 27-year-old also picked up his second double-double of the 2024-25 campaign, with both taking place within the last week. Outside of his impressive production as a scorer and on the glass, Collins has been sharp from the charity stripe, knocking down 20 of 21 attempts (95.2 percent) through his first seven appearances of the year.
Collins registered 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 loss to the Spurs. The season-ending injury to Taylor Hendricks (ankle) will tie directly to more production from Collins, who is expected to be the first big man off the bench to serve in the frontcourt. Kyle Filipowski got the start in Lauri Markkanen's (back) absence. However, the Jazz may experiment with an experienced jumbo lineup that features Markkanen, Collins and Walker Kessler. Cody Williams hasn't done much with his two starts, so the scheme could ultimately make more sense.
Collins contributed 14 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 127-86 loss to Golden State. No Jazz player who attempted at least six field-goal attempts shot better than 40 percent Friday, but Collins did manage to lead the Jazz in both points and assists during in the blowout loss. Collins has been a starter for most of his NBA career, but the 2017 first-round pick has been the first big man off the bench to start the 2024-25 regular season due to Walker Kessler serving as the starting center. Collins will look to earn a bigger role against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks on Monday.
