Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will miss his first game of the season due to an illness. Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) and Walker Kessler (foot) are also out, so Simone Fontecchio, Taylor Hendricks, Kelly Olynyk and Omer Yurtseven will likely all play extended minutes. Collins' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Knicks.

Collins is questionable for Monday's game against Oklahoma City due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he was a late addition to Monday's injury report due to his illness. If he can't suit up against the Thunder, Simone Fontecchio and Taylor Hendricks are candidates to see increased run for the Jazz.

Collins ended Friday's 117-103 loss to the Clippers with 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 35 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Collins matched a season high with 29 points in the loss, and despite the poor team result, this is the kind of performance the Jazz need while they continue to cope without Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) in the lineup. Utah continues to experiment with the center position, but Collins has been a steady presence as a frontcourt menace at the four spot.

Collins closed with 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was held to a season-low 23 minutes of playing time during Wednesday's blowout loss, and he fell just short of the double-double mark again. He's been held without a double-double in six consecutive appearances but has still been relatively productive during that time, averaging 12.8 points and 7.5 rebounds in 27.8 minutes per game. The 26-year-old can put things together in any given game, but he's been held below 30 minutes of playing time in five of his last six outings. It's unclear whether this slight downturn in minutes will continue, but Collins still has decent upside potential when he has enough time on the court.

Collins had 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 105-91 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Collins led the way for an understrength Jazz team, dropping a team-high 17 points. While he has scored double-digits in every game this season, his peripheral numbers have been a little underwhelming. As the 100th-ranked player in standard leagues, he is deserving of a roster spot. With that said, managers would love to see a bit more from him on both ends of the floor moving forward.

Collins chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has scored exactly 15 points in each of his last three outings but failed to secure his fourth straight double-double. Collins is averaging 15.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 0.8 steals in 34.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Collins finished Tuesday's 115-99 victory over the Trail Blazers with 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has been a consistent threat for the Jazz after putting up double-digit scoring numbers in each of his appearances so far, though it must be noted that he has surpassed the 15-point tally just three times across his 11 contests. Collins is finding the consistency he didn't have during his Atlanta days, though an uptick in his scoring would certainly boost a fantasy profile that is also averaging a solid 8.2 rebounds per contest.

Collins (ankle) is good to go for Tuesday's game against Portland, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was previously carrying a probable tag. He's coming off one of the best performances of his season on Friday, as he scored 18 points with three rebounds, three triples and four blocks against the Grizzlies.

Collins (ankle) is listed as probable to play Tuesday versus Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is dealing with a left ankle sprain, but he appears on track to play. With Walker Kessler amid a multi-week absence due to an elbow sprain, Collins is slated for a hefty workload in Utah's frontcourt as long as he's available.

Collins closed Friday's 127-121 victory over Memphis with 18 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds and four blocks over 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Collins had just three blocks across nine games before tallying four Friday. His three triples were also a season-high. The big man has been struggling in the rebounding department recently but finding other ways to contribute. He is now averaging 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 triples across 31.1 minutes in 10 games this season.
