Collins finished Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Magic with 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Collins is enjoying an excellent start to the season, and outside of recording his fourth double-double through six games, he also posted a season-high mark in points. Collins is showing the upside he couldn't live up to as a member of the Hawks, and his fantasy upside has risen considerably compared to 12 months ago. He looks like a pivotal pice of the Jazz's offensive scheme in the frontcourt alongside Lauri Markkanen.

Collins recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during Friday's 120-118 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has looked pretty comfortable to begin his tenure with the Jazz, delivering double-doubles in two straight games to open the campaign. The 26-year-old has only averaged a double-double over a full season once before in 2019-20, seeing his rebounding numbers plummet after Atlanta added Clint Capela to its frontcourt, but so far Collins hasn't had the same issues while working alongside Walker Kessler and Lauri Markkanen.

Collins registered 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 130-114 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

After being involved in trade rumors for years, Collins was acquired by the Jazz in June to pair next to All-Star forward Lauri Markkanen. He had a strong showing in his Utah debut when he led the team and rebounds and scored the third-most points on the team behind Jordan Clarkson (24 points) and Markkanen (19). He'll look to help the Jazz get their first win of the year Friday when they face the Clippers at home.

Collins is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Sarah Todd of Deseret News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Collins will slot into Utah's starting lineup at power forward between Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. While it's unclear how he'll fit into the offensive pecking order, it's likely Collins will receive more opportunities than he did back in Atlanta.

Collins is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was rested for the preseason finale back on Oct. 19, but there are no injuries to report. Collins had a very underwhelming preseason, averaging 7.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 20.5 minutes through three contests.

Collins won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Kings due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins will sit out Thursday alongside many of Utah's regulars. However, he should be good to go for the team's regular-season opener against the Kings on Oct. 25.

Collins notched 15 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Saturday's 138-133 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was efficient in this win, missing just two shots from the field en route to a solid outing. Collins is set to open the season as Utah's starting power forward and could also see time at center in small-ball lineups. Either way, he should have more touches -- thus translating to better overall numbers -- than during his final year with Atlanta.

Collins was traded from the Hawks to the Jazz on Monday in exchange for Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins' name has been in the rumor mill for years, so it's no surprise to see him finally dealt. The return for Collins is underwhelming, so this is mostly a salary dump for the Hawks with Collins owed $78 million over the next three years. The Hawks now have some flexibility to make additional moves, while Collins gets a fresh start in Utah and could have a featured role alongside Lauri Markkanen at small forward and Walker Kessler at center. Collins could see a sizable bump in fantasy value with this move.

Collins produced 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 128-120 loss to Boston in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Collins wasn't terrible in the Game 6 loss but certainly didn't set the world on fire either. Thursday's defeat brings to an end what can only be described as an underwhelming campaign for both Collins and the Hawks. Despite having proven himself in the past, Collins looked like a shell of his former self for a solid portion of the season. Heading into 2023-24, he is going to have to make some significant changes should he hope to be a key piece on a team with playoff aspirations.

Collins recorded 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 win over the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Better late than never is what they say, and this was certainly the case Tuesday. After a poor showing thus far in the playoffs, Collins finally rediscovered some form right when the Hawks needed it the most. Based on his inconsistent production this season, stringing two strong games together could prove difficult for Collins. Hawks fans will be hoping he can build off this effort Thursday in Atlanta, as they attempt to extend the series to Game 7.
