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.

Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will miss his third straight game due to an illness. The veteran big man has played in only two of Utah's last 16 games, which has resulted in more time on the floor for Drew Eubanks and Kyle Filipowski. Both players will likely get more minutes on Tuesday against Golden State.

Collins (illness) won't play Monday against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was originally questionable, but he'll miss his second straight game Monday. It's unclear if he will be available Tuesday against the Warriors. With Walker Kessler (shoulder) also out, the Jazz will be thin in the frontcourt. That means guys like Kyle Filipowski and Drew Eubanks could step into larger roles Tuesday.

Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Milwaukee, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was unable to play in Saturday's 125-103 loss to the Grizzlies due to an illness, but the veteran forward has a chance to return Monday. Collins has played in just two games since Dec. 21 due to a hip injury, and more recently, his illness. Svi Mykhailiuk could remain in the starting lineup if Collins is not cleared to play.

Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
After making his long-awaited return from an eight-game absence, Collins will be stuck on the sideline for Saturday's game in Memphis due to an illness. The veteran big man had a solid game in his return, recording a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.

Collins amassed 22 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Collins led the Jazz in scoring during his return from an eight-game absence due to a hip injury. The 27-year-old delivered an extremely efficient performance while securing his ninth double-double over 28 regular-season appearances, and he'll likely continue to receive a slight uptick in playing time as he works his way back to full playing form. The eighth-year forward has put together a solid season as a mainstay in the starting five after coming off the bench in his first nine games, though he's missed 14 of Utah's 42 outings thus far.

Collins is part of Utah's starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is returning from an eight-game absence due to a hip injury and has been inserted into the starting lineup. Considering the lengthy layoff, Collins could have his minutes monitored. He's averaging 17.9 points and 8.3 rebounds across 29.9 minutes per game this season.
