Collins is questionable for Saturday's game at Denver due to a left lower leg contusion, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has played well this season but could miss his first game of the campaign Saturday. If he does, more minutes would presumably be in store for Gorgui Dieng.

Collins is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers due to right heel soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is playing well this season and is on pace for career highs in points (8.3), assists (2.9), steals (0.6) and blocks (1.3) per game. If he's out Friday, more minutes could be in store for Gorgui Dieng.

Collins finished with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 18 minutes during Friday's 129-124 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was a force off the bench in the win, chipping in across multiple categories. Despite only playing about 18 minutes per night, Collins has been a top-150 player thus far. Of course, rankings aren't everything and the bulk of his value comes from blocks and field goal efficiency. In deeper formats, he should be considered a low-risk, backend-center option.

Collins had 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 18 minutes during Friday's 137-134 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has played only 30 minutes over the Spurs' first two games, but he's impressively racked up seven blocks and two steals. Friday's performance as a whole was impressive given his limited action. He's shown upside in the past but has been hampered by injuries. Fantasy managers, especially those in deep leagues, should add Collins to their watchlist.

Collins provided one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one assist, four blocks and one steal across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 129-102 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Collins fits the Spurs' rebuilding timeline, but he saw just 12 minutes off the bench. He's dealt with injury issues throughout his career, so he may be eased into a bigger workload. Despite seeing limited action, the big man still blocked an impressive four shots. Fantasy managers in deep leagues may want to keep tabs on Collins, as he has three-and-D upside as a center and might be able to play some power forward. However, it may take an injury to Jakob Poeltl or Keldon Johnson for Collins to make any real waves.

Collins (concussion) is available for Wednesday's opener against the Hornets, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has cleared protocols and will look to make an impact on the rebuilding Spurs. He's dealt with injuries throughout his career and appeared in just 28 games last season, averaging 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists. He may see an uptick in workload during his upcoming age-25 season.

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said Collins (concussion) participated in the majority of Monday's practice, but he sat out the scrimmage at the end of the session, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins suffered a concussion during a preseason matchup against Utah and has progressed to doing some contact work, but unsurprisingly, he's still sitting out during scrimmages. His status for Wednesday's regular-season opener remains unclear, but Popovich did say earlier in the week that the big man would be available, per Raul Dominguez Jr.

Collins (concussion) didn't play Thursday but should be good to go for the regular season opener, Raul Dominguez Jr. reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins entered concussion protocols after Sunday's preseason contest against the Jazz and couldn't play in the Spurs' preseason finale. According to coach Gregg Popovich, Collins should "be ready unless there is some sort of step backward in his recovery." Expect Jeremy Sochan and Doug McDermott to see an uptick in minutes in the regular season opener if Collins can't play.

Collins entered concussion protocols following Sunday's preseason contest against the Pelicans and didn't travel with the team for Tuesday's matchup against Utah, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins drew the start Sunday in place of Jakob Poeltl, who got the night off, and totaled seven points, three rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes. However, it appears he picked up a concussion during the contest, which will sideline him for at least one preseason game. Following Tuesday's game, the Spurs have one remaining exhibition contest -- Thursday against the Thunder -- before they open the regular season against the Hornets on Oct. 19.
