Collins chipped in 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds over 15 minutes during Thursday's 118-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins set a season-high mark in points during an extremely efficient outing Thursday. The 26-year-old center has averaged 6.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals across 13.9 minutes per game through nine regular-season games. With Jeremy Sochan (thumb) out for a significant amount of time, Collins will likely handle a more significant role.

Collins racked up four points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 14 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Collins struggled from the field Monday, though he did tie his season-high mark in steals. The 26-year-old has played double-digit minutes in each of the Spurs' seven regular-season games, and with Jeremy Sochan (thumb) out for the foreseeable future, Collins is a candidate for an increased role off the bench.

Collins recorded 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 13 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Collins played limited minutes off the bench but finished the night with a serviceable fantasy line. As long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy, Collins is unlikely to play more than about 15 minutes on any given night. He can chip in on both ends of the floor, but without the playing time, he simply can't be trusted outside of very deep leagues.

Collins delivered 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Collins got the start Thursday since Victor Wembanyama was rested ahead of the regular-season opener Oct. 24 against the Mavericks. The big man will be a serviceable backup and should see steady minutes with the second unit, but as a reserve frontcourt player who doesn't stand out in any particular area, his fantasy upside will be close to minimal.

Collins is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will get the nod at center with Victor Wembanyama out for rest purposes. It will be a solid chance for Collins to get some minutes before the start of the regular season against the Mavericks on Oct. 24, as he's expected to open the campaign in a bench role as Wembanyama's primary backup at center.

Collins isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Victor Wembanyama will reclaim his starting spot from Collins against Miami. However, Wembanyama is expected to play just 15 minutes, so Collins could still see extended playing time Tuesday.

Collins recorded 11 points (4-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 20 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 preseason win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Collins got the start at center without Victor Wembanyama (rest), and while the veteran posted solid numbers, he struggled with his shot a bit. Collins is expected to operate as Wembanyama's backup once the regular season begins, but in that role, his upside should be very low.

Collins is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Jazz, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will make his preseason debut in this contest with Victor Wembanyama (rest) out. Collins is expected to operate as the backup center once the Spurs open their 2024-25 regular season on Oct. 24 against the Mavericks.

Collins (shoulder) is available for Saturday's preseason game versus the Jazz, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will make his preseason debut Saturday after working his way back from shoulder surgery he underwent in April. With Victor Wembanyama (rest) out, Collins will likely enter the starting lineup against Utah.

Collins (rest/shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Magic, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is still working his way back from shoulder surgery in April. He was able to participate in 5-on-5 drills during training camp, so Collins may return to game action before the preseason ends. His next chance to do so will come Saturday versus Utah.
