Collins will come off the bench Monday night against Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Collins drew a pair of spot starts while Victor Wembanyama recovered from a right ankle sprain. However, Collins will return to his usual bench role Monday with Wembanyama cleared to play. It's worth noting that head coach Gregg Popovich stated before Monday's clash that Wembanyama's status for Tuesday's game is still uncertain, so it's possible that Collins could slot right back in with the first unit Tuesday if the rookie forward is held out for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back.

Collins produced 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 131-129 loss to Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sidelined, Collins played 30 or more minutes for the first time since late November and topped 20 points for the first time since Dec. 19 against the Bucks. The 26-year-old center has been locked in from long distance of late -- over the last seven games, Collins is averaging 12.6 points, 4.6 boards, 2.6 assists and 1.3 threes in only 18.9 minutes a contest while shooting an eye-popping 75.0 percent (9-for-12) from three-point range. Wembanyama could be back Monday, but that would give Collins one more start Saturday against the Warriors.

Collins will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kings with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) unavailable.

EDGE Analysis

Wembanyama is likely going to miss Saturday's game as well, so Collins could remain in the starting lineup this weekend. Across 24 starts this season, Collins has registered averages of 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 triples, 0.8 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.8 turnovers per contest on 50.2 percent shooting.

Collins provided 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 16 minutes during Thursday's 132-118 win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Over his last four appearances, Collins has averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists, but he's playing just 17.0 minutes per game. The big man was a solid fantasy producer earlier in the season when he was a regular starter, but his production and playing time as a reserve have been too inconsistent to trust on a nightly basis.

Collins finished Sunday's 128-109 loss to Utah with 17 points (7-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has scored in double figures in back-to-back games for the first time since December. However, his fantasy value remains limited in his current role, as he's averaged just 18.4 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

Collins produced six points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 116-93 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Collins didn't have his best shooting performance, as evidenced by scoring six points while attempting nine shots. Still, he made an impact in the peripheral categories, particularly as a rebounder and shot blocker. The Spurs have been tweaking their lineups constantly, but based on the recent minutes, Collins could very well remain as a bench alternative in the second half of the campaign.

Collins was ejected from Saturday's 117-101 loss to the Cavaliers after totaling 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has played exactly 20 minutes in back-to-back contests since returning from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. He was more productive Saturday than he was Friday, nearly recording a double-double before getting ejected during the final minutes of the loss to Cleveland. It appeared Collins' forearm/elbow made contact with Donovan Mitchell's face while the big man was attempting to set a screen, and Mitchell took exception, charging after Collins. Both players were ejected, but it'd be surprising if the league intervened with suspensions.

Collins (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Collins returned from a three-game absence Friday against the Pelicans and finished with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes, and it's a good sign that the Spurs are comfortable enough to let him play the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Collins is considered probable to play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right ankle sprain, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins presumably picked up the injury in Friday's loss to the Pelicans. Given his probable designation, the issue does not appear to be serious, but final confirmation on his status is unlikely to come until closer to game time.

Collins (ankle) tallied nine points (4-9 FG, 1-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes Friday in the Spurs' 114-113 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the Spurs' previous three games with a right ankle sprain, Collins slotted back in as the backup to starting center Victor Wembanyama on Friday. Considering Collins was previously sidelined for nine games from Dec. 31 through Jan. 17 with a sprain of the same ankle, he'll most likely be held out for the second leg of the back-to-back set Saturday versus the Cavaliers. If that's the case, Dominick Barlow would likely serve as Wembanyama's backup.
