Collins (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is coming off a 26-point performance during the Jazz's 130-107 loss to the Thunder on Friday, but he appears to have come out of contest worse for wear with a sore lower back. Micah Potter, Brice Sensabaugh and KJ Martin would be candidates to enter Utah's starting lineup if Collins is unable to play Saturday.

Collins provided 26 points (11-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 130-107 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old forward led all scorers on the night, but he didn't get a whole lot of help -- the Jazz were down by 21 at halftime, and only three of Collins' teammates even wound up scoring in double digits. The 26 points were Collins' best offensive performance since Nov. 14. After missing most of January with a hip injury and an illness, he's averaging 19.6 points, 7.3 boards, 1.4 blocks, 1.3 threes, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals through eight appearances in February while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor.

Collins posted 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 41 minutes during Thursday's 120-116 overtime loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins put together a productive outing, a common occurrence for him in 2024-25. The star forward has averaged 18.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 0.7 steals in 32.4 minutes across his last nine outings, but a lack of availability may continue to be an issue with the rebuilding Jazz down the stretch of the campaign. Collins has been active for only 10 of Utah's last 22 games.

Collins posted 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Monday's 132-113 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was limited to just three appearances in January due to a nagging hip injury and an illness, but he's been more reliable of late when it comes to his availability. He's suited up for all but one of Utah's six games in February, and the results have been good so far with averages of 19.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in that span. As long as he's healthy, he should remain a reliable fantasy option across all formats.

Collins (rest) is off Utah's injury report for Monday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will suit up Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Clippers due to rest purposes. The 27-year-old forward has averaged 19.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

Collins (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins put up a 21-point performance during Utah's overtime loss to Phoenix on Friday, and he will not play in the second leg of the Jazz's back-to-back Saturday. Micah Potter, Brice Sensabaugh and Johnny Juzang should all see a significant increase in playing time due to the absences of Collins, Lauri Markkanen (back) and Walker Kessler (shoulder). Collins should be able to return for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Collins ended with 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block across 32 minutes during Monday's 112-111 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran tied for the team lead in scoring while producing his 10th double-double of the season, but he couldn't stop the Jazz from blowing a 12-point lead with less than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. Collins missed most of January due to a hip injury and an illness, but he's been productive since returning to the lineup, averaging 18.7 points, 7.7 boards, 1.7 blocks and 1.7 threes over the last three games.

Collins (illness) tallied 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes Thursday in the Jazz's 138-113 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Utah was back at close to full strength with Collins, Walker Kessler (shoulder), Lauri Markkanen (back) and Jordan Clarkson (foot) returning from absences of three, two, one and one games, respectively, but it wasn't enough for the Jazz to avoid an eighth straight loss. Though the Timberwolves had the game in hand by the end of the third quarter, Collins still saw something close to a normal minutes load and produced a well-rounded line across the board. The non-contending Jazz are still expected to give Collins frequent rest days in addition to holding him out with minor injuries throughout the second half of the season, but the 27-year-old should be worthy of including in fantasy lineups whenever he's active.

Collins (illness) is available for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Utah's last three contests due to an illness. Collins' return to action should result in decreased playing time for Brice Sensabaugh and Micah Potter.

Collins (illness) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has missed the last three games for the Jazz with an illness and might be stuck on the sideline for a fourth straight game Thursday against Minnesota. Drew Eubanks and Kyle Filipowski could see more time on the floor if the veteran big man can't play Thursday.
