Collins posted 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 142-116 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

With Jakob Poeltl now in Toronto and Khem Birch (knee) still unavailable, Collins drew a fifth straight start and posted his third double-double during that stretch. Since being reinserted into the starting lineup, Collins has averaged 15.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.8 minutes per game. He figures to continue garnering a solid role in the Spurs' frontcourt during the stretch run, but he could cede some usage to Birch and Jeremy Sochan (quadriceps) when they return to full strength.

Collins provided 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 120-110 loss to Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Collins continues to turn in well-rounded performances, as he's now secured two double-doubles in four games since being inserted back into the starting lineup. He's attempted double-digit field goals in three of these four matchups and has shown value as a passer and on the defensive end by averaging 1.3 steals over this brief stretch.

Collins finished Monday's 117-109 loss to the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Making his third consecutive start since Jakob Poeltl was dealt to the Raptors, Collins continued to pay dividends for fantasy managers with the foresight to stash him ahead of the trade deadline. Though his field-goal attempts have fallen from 16 to 10 to seven over the course of his three starts, Collins' high minutes count Monday and contributions in other areas of the box score bode well for his rest-of-season fantasy outlook.

Collins posted 29 points (11-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 138-131 double-overtime loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Collins blew up for a season-high 29 points Friday, making the most of his new role as the starting center for the Spurs. With Jakob Poeltl now plying his trade in Toronto, Collins has a clear path to minutes ROS. The lack of defensive stats and poor free-throw shooting did sour what was an otherwise strong performance. He shouldn't be seen as a primary offensive weapon moving forward but given the opportunity in front of him, he is worth adding in all 12-team leagues.

Collins will start Friday's game versus the Pistons, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins figures to maintain the starting center job after the Spurs shipped Jakob Poeltl to the Raptors on Wednesday. In his seven previous starts, Collin has averaged 10.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 26.4 minutes per game, though his workload could be consistently higher than that moving forward.

Collins posted 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks over 22 minutes during Monday's 127-106 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Collins had been held to only 10 total points over his last two matchups prior to Monday's clash, so it was a good sign to see him get back on track. He saw a slight uptick in shot volume and minutes, and he also posted his best rebounding performance since Jan. 11 against Memphis. The Gonzaga product has now finished in double digits in four of his last six appearances.

Collins posted 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Collins' play this season has been full of peaks and valleys, but he's on a three-game streak of double-digit scoring, averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 23.3 minutes during this stretch. With the assumption that the Spurs trade starting center Jakob Poeltl before the deadline, Collins could see an expanded role down the stretch. However, it's a bit concerning that his shot blocking has faded. The big man has just one total swat in his past 11 games. Previously, he was averaging 0.9 per contest.

Collins finished with 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and two rebounds in 24 minutes in Friday's 131-126 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Spurs have been competitive in their last two games, starting center Jakob Poeltl has still split minutes with Collins, who also logged 24 minutes in Tuesday's 106-98 loss to the Nets. It's unclear if head coach Gregg Popovich plans to have the two big men split the minutes equitably moving forward, but Collins could make sense as a cursory pickup in deeper leagues just in case the trend persists. Per 24 minutes, Collins is averaging 11.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 54.2 percent from the field.

Collins isn't starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins drew a spot start Saturday against the Celtics, and he made the most of his opportunity by racking up 18 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes. However, he'll return to his usual bench role with Jakob Poeltl back from an Achilles injury.

Collins recorded 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-116 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Collins moved into the starting lineup, replacing Jakob Poeltl who was ruled out due to an Achilles issue. Despite falling short when starting earlier in the season, Collins came through with the goods in this one. Unfortunately, he failed to put up anything on the defensive end, somewhat souring what was a strong night for the backup center. Should Poeltl be forced to miss additional time, Collins would make for a sneaky pickup across all formats.
