Eligibility
Availability
John Collins scored 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3PT, 1-3 FT) to go along with four rebounds, one assist and four blocks in the Clippers 103-102 win over the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact
Collins made a big impact as a defender in the win over Golden State. He has added at least 18 points in two straight games as he played a season-high 39 minutes in Monday's win.
John Collins returned to action in Tuesday’s rout of the Kings, contributing an efficient 16 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, three blocks, and two three-pointers in 22 minutes.
Fantasy Impact
After missing one game due to illness, Collins wasted no time getting back to work, continuing a stretch where he has provided third-round value in 8-category formats over the last two weeks. However, the minutes split is worth monitoring; Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) played 20 minutes off the bench in his second game back. While the blowout nature of this win likely skewed the rotation, the division of labor between Collins and Jones Jr. against tougher competition will be something for fantasy managers to track.
John Collins is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Collins is looking to avoid missing a second straight game. If he does, Nicolas Batum would likely see another spot start.
John Collins has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact
Collins will miss his first game of the season due to illness. With him and Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined, Nicolas Batum, Brook Lopez and Yanic Konan Niederhauser are all in line for expanded roles.
John Collins tallied 20 points (7-of-13 FG, 5-of-6 FT) in Thursday's loss to the Thunder, adding four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and a three-pointer.
Fantasy Impact
This marked only the second 20-point performance of the season for Collins, who has been in the starting lineup since November 10. While his rebounding numbers remain underwhelming, he continues to see playing time—and hold fantasy relevance—largely due to the ongoing absence of Derrick Jones Jr. (knee).
