John Collins

John Collins enjoyed his most productive outing of the season in Saturday's loss to the Mavericks, tallying season-highs in both points (21) and blocks (3). The veteran forward was incredibly efficient, converting 9-of-10 attempts from the floor and hitting both of his free throws while adding four rebounds, one assist, and a three-pointer.

Fantasy Impact

Although Collins has not offered consistent value for much of the campaign, his recent promotion to the starting lineup seems to be unlocking a higher ceiling. This performance caps a strong week for the forward, who will look to keep the momentum going as the Clippers kick off a four-game road trip on Monday against the Heat.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said that he's rolling with John Collins in the starting lineup "for a while."

Fantasy Impact

With Bradley Beal (hip) sidelined, John Collins will draw the start Monday against the Atlanta Hawks and is expected to remain in the starting lineup for a bit, boosting his fantasy value. He’s averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, one assist and one steal through nine games this season.

John Collins finished Tuesday's loss to the Thunder with 17 points (5-of-8 FG, 6-of-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one three-pointer.

Fantasy Impact

Collins was excellent in the first half, scoring 15 of his 17 points to help the Clippers take a one-point lead into the break. He was perfect from the free-throw line, but the reigning champions "flipped a switch" in the second half, and the game turned into a blowout, leaving most of the fourth quarter to non-rotation players.

John Collins scored 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3PT, 1-2 FT) with seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in Wednesday's 129-108 loss to the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

While coming off the bench, Collins logged 27 minutes and was highly efficient, shooting 50% from the field. He contributed across all categories for fantasy managers and should continue to see significant playing time off the bench.

The Jazz traded John Collins to the Clippers as part of a three-team deal.

Fantasy Impact

Collins adds another lob threat and depth in the front court for the Clippers, who also signed Brook Lopez in free agency. The Clippers traded Norman Powell to the Heat.
