Darren Collison scored 24 points off the bench on Monday, hitting 10-of-14 shots (including two threes) with one rebound and five assists against the Hawks.
The Hawks came into tonight flat and their second unit is pretty awful, so Collison took advantage and is worth adding in the event he was dropped. He will mix in some stinkers but he is the player to be owned between he and Mike James (nine points, three assists, two steals, four turnovers, 23 minutes) for the potential of nights like these.

Darren Collison scored 13 points off the bench on Friday against the Cavs, hitting 5-of-9 shots (including a three) with three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 23 minutes.
Collison got to tee off on the Cavs' non-existent second unit but this certainly puts him back on the standard league radar. Starter Mike James scored seven points on 3-of-7 shooting with two rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three in 21 minutes, and Collison is the slight favorite between the two to hold value in those formats, at least for right now.

Darren Collison was quiet again on Thursday, scoring 12 points with two boards, one assist and no turnovers against the Spurs.
He shot 6-of-8 from the field, but he failed to make a triple for the fourth game in a row. What's more, Collison has just one steal on his previous five and shot 34.3 percent from the field in that span. He's safe to drop in standard leagues at this point.

Darren Collison admitted to dealing with vision issues after suffering an eye injury in Tuesday's game.
"I tried to play through it, but when I was guarding Monta (Ellis) I saw two Monta's," he said. Collison had just eight points in 17 minutes, and it's telling that he hasn't been able to emerge at all this season despite the obvious issues Dallas has at point guard. If Collison misses time, Mike James would be pressed into more action with O.J. Mayo helping with the point guard responsibilities as well.

Darren Collison played 17 minutes off the bench on Tuesday and had eight points, one board and no assists.
He didn't have a steal or a 3-pointer either. Collison suffered an eye injury and missed some time, but his value is really floundering these days. While it's nice that he's coming off back-to-back eight-assist games, he's not providing steals or hitting making threes, so he's moved out of the conversation in standard leagues.

Darren Collison suffered an eye injury in the first half on Tuesday's game.
Collison got hit in the eye with the ball. He's getting it examined by the medical staff and Mike James will hold down the fort at point guard while Collison is out. Stay tuned.

Darren Collison will come off the bench against the Mavericks on Wednesday.
He got torched by Jeremy Lin and the Rockets on Sunday, so this is likely just a matchup move. Collison should get his job back for the weekend and he's still worth owning in all leagues. Mike James will start.

Darren Collison scored five points and handed out one assist in 18 minutes on Sunday, before yielding the floor to backup Mike James (11 points).
O.J. Mayo (18 points, three 3s) and Shawn Marion (14 points, eight rebounds) were the only starters to do anything of value for Dallas, and this loss cuts deep since they are ostensibly chasing the eighth-place Rockets. Collison has now flopped in two straight games, but his owners should try to stay patient -- he's been a ninth-round value in eight-cat leagues over the past month.

Darren Collison struggled on Friday against the Nets, scoring nine points on 4-of-7 shooting with three rebounds, zero assists and one steal in 25 minutes.
Rick Carlisle turned to Mike James (seven points, three assists) for 23 minutes and this should be a reminder that Collison is capable of something like this on any given night. He has been producing well enough to be owned in all formats, however, and we'd hang onto him unless this becomes a trend.

Darren Collison flirted with a triple-double in a loss to the Bucks on Tuesday with 12 points, seven boards and eight assists in 37 minutes.
He shot 5-of-15 from the field and missed his first free throw since January 18, so it wasn't all good for him. Collison's 37 minutes were his most since January 29 and hopefully Rick Carlisle will let him loose a little bit more. He is worth owning in all leagues.
