Rough night in loss Collins finished Saturday's 121-109 loss to the 76ers with six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 33 minutes.

Impact Collins was poor in the loss, to put it nicely. After a red-hot start to the season, Collins has struggled of late, reverting back to some of his old form. While it is too early to panic, managers have to be feeling the pinch given he is outside the top 150 over the past week. It is not the time to be selling, so sitting tight is really the only course of action.

Struggles from field Collins provided 11 points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 104-95 win over the 76ers.

Impact Collins went just 1-of-5 from the field in the first half while also knocking down both of his free-throw attempts for a total of four points. He made only two more shots in the second half while not recording more than one field goal in any quarter. The Hawks power forward also failed to reach double-digit rebounds for the fourth-straight game after reaching that mark in six of his first eight contests to begin the season.

Logs another double-double Collins posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-99 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Collins hasn't turned in the most glamorous of lines over his past two contests, but he's recorded back-to-back double-doubles despite shaky shooting. He's just 1-for-8 from three over that stretch, and after swatting 12 shots over his first five games, he's registered just one block in the three contests since.

Empty double-double in loss Collins posted 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 139-109 loss to Toronto.

Impact Collins managed to record his fourth double-double of the season in the loss, although it was far from a productive night. The Hawks were completely outplayed in this one, meaning the starters were limited down the stretch. After a red-hot start to the season, Collins has slowed of late, averaging just 6.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across his last three games. Given he is prone to stretches such as this, there is optimism he can get things going again.

Strong start continues in win Collins amassed 19 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 win over Detroit.

Impact Collins was at it again Wednesday, turning back the clock with a strong two-way effort. After a down season in 2021-22, Collins appears to be fully healthy and ready to roll. He was slept on in a number of drafts but for those lucky enough to snare him, the rewards have been plentiful. While we could see his rebounding and block numbers come down at some point, the scope for him to be a top-40 player is very much a realistic goal.

Poor shooting Sunday Collins racked up 10 points (3-12 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-109 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Collins missed seven of his first eight shot attempts before hitting two layups in the second half. The 25-year-old had strong offensive performances in his first two games and made five of six tries from beyond the arc before missing all seven of his three-point attempts Sunday. He's posted a double-double in consecutive games and is averaging 10.3 rebounds thus far.

Game-high 13 rebounds Collins accumulated 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one block and three steals over 36 minutes in Friday's victory over the Magic.

Impact Collins continued to get it done on both ends of the floor on Friday night, grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds while scoring over 20 points for the second-straight game to open the season. Nine of Collins' 23 points came in the second quarter on 3-of-6 shooting, while he also knocked down both of his free throw attempts to bring the Hawks back within four just before the half. He also recorded three steals in the game, with two of them coming against rookie sensation Paolo Banchero.

Lights-out from the field Collins produced 24 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's win over Houston.

Impact Collins had a quiet start to the game in the first quarter before finding his stroke and going 5-of-6 from the field in the second for 13 points. The Hawks power forward would only miss one shot in the second half while also grabbing five big fourth quarter rebounds to help the Hawks preserve their lead down the stretch. Eight of Collins' made field goals came off of assists from Trae Young and Dejounte Murray while the big man was also perfect from both three-point range and the free-throw line.

Collects 15 points, seven boards Collins scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3 Pt, 0-2 FT) with seven rebounds and a steal over 24 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Collins did little in the first half, collecting five points on 2-of-3 shooting while grabbing four rebounds. He came out firing to start the second half, knocking down four of seven shots from the field, including two threes off assists from Trae Young. The Hawks forward would finish with 10 third-quarter points before sitting for all of the fourth.

Scores 16 points in win Collins compiled 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes in a 123-113 win Thursday against Milwaukee in a preseason game in Abu Dhabi.

Impact Collins scored nine of his points in the third quarter as he made four of his five shot attempts and his lone three-pointer. All three of his rebounds came in the first half and he was unable to secure a board in 11 minutes in the second half. The 25-year-old missed 23 of the last 27 games last year with finger and foot issues before returning in the playoffs in a limited capacity. He's averaged 17.8 points and 8.7 rebounds as a starter in his five seasons and looks to return to that form if healthy.
