John Collins

John Collins has agreed to a 3-year, $51 million deal with the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Collins find himself a new home and a nice deal with the Pistons who are needing some frontcourt help with the loss of Isaiah Stewart and potential loss of Jalen Duren. In his time with the Clippers last year, he averaged over 13 points and five rebounds per game.

John Collins is expected to draw interest from the Magic, Spurs and Sixers.

Fantasy Impact

Collins made 56 starts across 69 total appearances last season with the Clippers. He averaged 13.6 points on 55 percent shooting from the field. He could hold some fantasy value in the right landing spot for fantasy managers.

John Collins led the Clippers' bench with 25 points (9-20 FG, 4-6 3PT, 3-3 FT) and added four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in Los Angeles' 138-109 win over Sacramento on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Collins tied his season-high in scoring despite coming off the bench and playing only 24 minutes. His 20 shot attempts were the most in a game this year and his four three-pointers were one shy of his season-high of five that he accomplished twice. Collins has hit double figures in scoring in four straight games and is averaging 19.8 points during that stretch.

John Collins posted a near double-double for the Clippers Thursday night, grabbing six rebounds and scoring 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 FT) in a 118-99 loss to the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

Collins continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with three or more rebounds and 15 or more points in each of his last three games. The 28-year-old remains one of the more stable options on the floor as part of an inconsistent Los Angeles lineup, averaging 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game to go along with an 18.3% usage rate so far this season.

John Collins is off the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.

Fantasy Impact

Collins will return from a one-game absence. Nicolas Batum will return to his reserve role.
