Collins chipped in two points (1-1 FG) and one assist over five minutes during Wednesday's 109-90 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Although he didn't see much run in this game, Collins saw his role increase in 2024-25 following his trade from the Spurs. He appeared in 28 games for Chicago, averaging 8.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 19.7 minutes per game.

Collins chipped in four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes during Sunday's 131-117 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

With Nikola Vucevic healthy and starting, Collins has been used sparingly by the Bulls in recent games. In his last seven outings, Collins has averaged 14.4 minutes per contest with 5.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists, limiting his fantasy appeal to very deep leagues.

Collins racked up 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Saturday's 120-119 loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Collins scored double-digit points for the second straight game, continuing to play as the primary backup behind Nikola Vucevic. Following an encouraging stretch during which he scored at least 15 points in five consecutive games when Vucevic was injured, Collins has settled into a consistent yet lesser role. Over the past seven games, he is averaging 6.6 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game.

Collins totaled six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds over eight minutes during Thursday's 128-116 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Collins received fewer than 10 minutes of playing time for the first time since logging a DNP via a coach's decision Feb. 12. The big man will likely continue to see fewer minutes as long as Nikola Vucevic and Patrick Williams aren't restricted.

Collins recorded nine points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 victory over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Collins didn't have a lot of touches on offense or a ton of minutes overall, but he made the most of his time out there. Collins not only finished one rebound and one point away from posting a double-double, but he also outplayed Nikola Vucevic, who was returning to the first unit, by a sizable margin. That said, Collins should continue to play off the bench in the foreseeable future, so his fantasy upside should remain fairly limited.

Collins is not in the Bulls' starting lineup against the Nets on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Collins will cede his place in the starting lineup to Nikola Vucevic on Thursday. Collins started in the Bulls' last eight games, and over that span he averaged 14.9 points on 58.7 percent shooting (including 37.0 percent from three on 3.4 3PA/G), 9.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per contest.

Collins contributed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Nikola Vucevic came off the bench during his return from a seven-game absence streak due to a calf injury, but head coach Billy Donovan said after the game that he would "eventually" return to the starting lineup, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. That's bad news for Collins' value, but his fantasy managers may want to hold him until that actually happens. Over his last eight outings, Collins has averaged 14.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

Collins closed with 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 victory over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has started in the Bulls' last seven games due to the injury issues Nikola Vucevic (calf) is going through, and the veteran big man has been delivering solid results. Collins has recorded four double-doubles over his last six appearances, and this one was particularly impressive since he had to deal with Bam Adebayo on both ends of the court. There are no signs of Vucevic being ready to return in the near future, and until that happens, Collins should remain in the starting five.

Collins accumulated three points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one block in 12 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 125-123 victory over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was limited to just 12 minutes as a result of fouling out, bringing to an end his recent productive stretch. While this was a night to forget, Collins has been playing his best basketball of the season, slotting in as the starting center with Nikola Vucevic sidelined with a calf injury. Until Vucevic is cleared to return, expect to see Collins running with the starters.

Collins closed with 20 points (10-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 139-117 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Making his fifth straight start in place of Nikola Vucevic (calf), Collins stayed productive with his third double-double of the season -- all of which have come while Chicago's top center has been on the shelf. During his starting run, Collins has averaged 18.2 points, 10.4 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 threes while shooting 59.3 percent from the floor, but he could be set to slide back to the bench with Vucevic eyeing a return to the lineup Thursday in Orlando.
