Collins notched eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Friday's 130-122 victory over the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Collins managed just 21 minutes in the victory, unable to produce anything of note once again. In a season full of disappointment, it appears as though Collins has simply lost his mojo at this point. Although he continues to start, his production is nowhere near what we have seen him do in the past. Looking beyond this season, perhaps a change of scenery is the only thing that can change his fortunes.

Collins (back) isn't listed on the Hawks' injury report for Tuesday's Play-In matchup against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Collins sat out the regular-season finale due to low back tightness, but as expected, he'll be available for Atlanta's first playoff action. Across 71 regular-season appearances, the sixth-year forward averaged 13.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks in 30.0 minutes per game.

Collins is out for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to low back tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Collins' back injury is just a sign of the general wear and tear of the regular season, and his availability for the Play-In matchup against the Heat shouldn't be questioned. Collins ends the 2022-23 season averaging 13.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 71 contests.

Collins tallied 23 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and three rebounds across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 134-116 win over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

After going 8-for-16 from the free-throw line over a five-game stretch from March 25 through April 2, Collins has bounced back nicely in that area over his subsequent two appearances. He's gone a perfect 11-for-11 from the charity stripe between Wednesday's game and Tuesday's win over the Bulls, bringing his rate back up above 80 percent for the season. Collins was able to deliver some three-point production to go along with the efficiency from the charity stripe, but his stat line was otherwise hollow. That's a regular occurrence of late, as he's averaging just 4.9 boards, 1.1 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.4 steals in 21 appearances since the All-Star break.

Collins racked up five points (2-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Friday's 124-107 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was starting to roll in mid-March, but now he's back on the wrong trajectory. Over the past three games, he's averaging just 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 three-pointers without any steals or blocks. He's also shooting just 33 percent in that span.

Collins produced 21 points (9-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 143-130 victory over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Collins scored in double digits for the fifth straight game, during which time he has shot at least 50 percent in all five. At the tail end of a mediocre season, Collins is finding some consistency, much to the delight of fantasy managers battling in their playoffs. The Hawks play again Sunday, making Collins a firm hold in all formats, at least for now.

Collins closed Friday's 127-119 victory over the Warriors with 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was on a mission right from the start of this game, racking up 17 points in the first quarter alone. The last time that Collins eclipsed 17 points in an entire game was way back on Jan. 25. He's been working with shooting coach Kyle Korver and will look to build on this momentum Sunday against the Spurs.

Collins finished Wednesday's 122-120 victory over the Wizards with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Collins paced Atlanta with a team-high mark from three, finishing as one of six players in double figures in scoring during Wednesday's victory. Collins has recorded four or more threes eight times this season.

Collins (back) has been upgraded to available and will play Sunday against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was tabbed as a game-time call after missing Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to tightness in his lower back, but the big man is healthy enough to feature Sunday and should start, as has been the case in each of his previous 50 appearances this season. He's averaging 11.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game across seven February outings.

Collins is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets due to low-back tightness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has exited concussion protocol, but his status is still in questionable due to a back issue. If Collins is held out again, Saddiq Bey would presumably draw a second consecutive start.
