Darren Collison got the start against the Thunder on Thursday. He was coming off the bench in favor of Dominique Jones and this lineup change could be long term. Collison's defensive skills will be tested against Russell Westbrook, so his owners will be hoping he doesn't have too bad of a game.

Darren Collison was benched again on Sunday, replaced by Dominique Jones, and he wound up with 15 points and two assists in 25 minutes. It's hard to gauge the impact of the switch based on tonight's historically lopsided defeat in San Antonio, and there are no guarantees that DoJo will stick in the starting five. It is clear, however, that Rick Carlisle isn't altogether comfortable with Collison as his starting PG. Keep him tucked away as we watch this unfold.

Darren Collison (illness) is available to play on Sunday against the Spurs. Collison couldn't finish Friday's game with an illness and he's apparently feeling better. There still has been no word on which player coach Rick Carlisle will start at point guard, so we'll update you once we know more. Owners in deeper leagues will want to keep an eye on Dominique Jones.

Rick Carlisle said that his point guard position is "up for grabs." "It's up for grabs. I don't know how else to put it. It's up for grabs," Carlisle said. Darren Collison hasn't looked great lately and Dominique Jones has been a pleasant surprise for most of the year. This could be a motivational tactic to light a fire under Collison, but owners in deeper leagues wouldn't be crazy to add Jones at this point.

Darren Collison (illness) said after Friday's game he hopes to play Sunday. Collison entered Friday's game under the weather but tried to play through it. He eventually left after playing 10 minutes. Check back on Sunday after shootaround to see if Collison is able to shake the bug.

Darren Collison will not return to Friday's game due to an illness. He played 10 minutes and didn't score before he tapped out. The Mavericks will be forced to play Dominique Jones and Roddy Beaubois at the point guard spot against Mike Conley.

Rick Carlisle said that Darren Collison needs to cut down on his turnovers. Collison will be the starting point guard with Derek Fisher (knee) hurt, but the team will also use Dominique Jones and Roddy Beaubois at times to give a different look at the position. Collison has had two or fewer turnovers in each of his last four games.

Darren Collison played 27 minutes as the starting point guard and had 11 points, five assists and one steal in a 110-95 loss to the Heat on Thursday. The 27 minutes shouldn't be viewed as too discouraging since this game was basically over in the middle of the third quarter. Collison didn't make a lot of noise tonight and he'll have his hands full against Mike Conley on Friday. He should still be better than tonight, though.

Darren Collison had 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a 3-pointers on 2-of-7 shooting in 31 minutes off the Mavericks bench on Tuesday. Collison got some extra minutes when Derek Fisher left early with a right knee injury, and never returned. If Fisher is going to miss time with his injury, Collison will become a solid fantasy point guard option again.

Darren Collison played just 22 minutes and scored four points with one rebound and one assist against the Raptors on Friday Collison played 33.0 minutes per game in his three games before tonight, so his owners shouldn't total panic at this point. Garbage time was a factor and Derek Fisher only played 24 minutes and scored two points. Collison should remain owned in all leagues.
