Collins is starting Thursday's game against the Pistons, Johnny Kane of Bally Sports Detroit reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins came off the bench in his last two appearances, but he'll rejoin the starting lineup with the Jazz playing without several starters Thursday. Over his 22 starts this year, he's averaged 14.5 points and 8.6 rebounds in 30.9 minutes per game.

Collins supplied 16 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old big remained on the second unit and saw a smaller workload than usual for a second straight game since returning from a non-COVID illness that cost him four contests, but Collins looked like he might be ready to move back into the starting five. Simone Fontecchio, who has started 13 straight games but has seen his numbers begin to decline, might be the most likely candidate to get bumped to the bench should Collins reclaim a starting job.

Collins won't start Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins returned from a four-game absence Monday, playing 20 minutes off the bench during a 125-108 win and totaling 11 points, three rebounds and a block. He's expected to eventually replace Simone Fontecchio in the starting lineup, but Collins will remain in a reserve role for at least one more game.

Collins (illness) played 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's 125-108 win over the Nets, finishing with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one block.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return from four-game absence due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Collins was eased back into the mix in a bench role after he had started in each of his first 22 appearances of the season. Collins should eventually usurp Simone Fontecchio from a starting role at forward alongside Lauri Markkanen, but the Jazz could deploy Collins off the bench for another game or two to allow him to ramp back up and regain conditioning.

Collins (illness) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has been absent from his team's last four contests as a result of a non-COVID illness, but the Jazz have since reported that he'll be available to take the floor Monday evening. He'll be on a minutes restriction, per Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune, so Simone Fontecchio could continue to see an uptick in playing time while Collins regains his conditioning following the illness.

Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has missed the last four games due to a non-COVID illness, and his status is once again in question for Monday's game. If he is unable to go, Taylor Hendricks and Simone Fontecchio will likely see extended minutes.

Collins (illness) will miss Saturday's game against the Kings, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the fourth straight game that Collins will miss. The good news for Utah is that Lauri Markkanen is no longer showing up on the injury report after missing Thursday's game with the Jazz managing his hamstring issue. Collins' next chance to play is Monday against the Nets.

Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins continues to deal with a non-COVID illness and will miss a third consecutive game in the second half of a back-to-back set Thursday. Taylor Hendricks and Simone Fontecchio are candidates to see increased minutes against Portland, while Collins' next chance to return will be Saturday against Sacramento.

Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup and will officially be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to a non-COVID illness. Whether he'll be available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers remains to be seen, but Taylor Hendricks, Simone Fontecchio and Luka Samanic could see increased run Wednesday.

Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins is in danger of missing his second straight game Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. If he's ruled out against the Knicks, Taylor Hendricks, Simone Fontecchio and Luka Samanic are candidates to receive increased playing time.
