Swats three shots in loss Collins supplied 16 points (7-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 37 minutes during Friday's 130-114 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Collins missed all five of his three-point attempts but still finished tied for second on Atlanta with 16 points. He also tied for the team lead with eight rebounds, but his best work came on the defensive end, where he blocked three shots. Collins snapped a two-game double-double streak Friday, but he did extend his run of contests with multiple blocked shots to three.

Impressive double-double in win Collins scored 22 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 120-117 win over the Ki...

Impact Collins filled up the stat sheet with his second consecutive double-double and his third in his eight games since returning to action Dec. 19. While his performances have picked up lately with Clint Capela (calf) missing time, Collins has been relatively inconsistent this year. Once Capela returns, Collins' numbers could dip again. He's shooting a career-low 23.7 percent from distance, adding to the problem.

Impact Collins finished with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds for the second time this season, which have both come over his past four appearances. During that stretch, the talented big man has averaged 19.8 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes.

Strong double-double Tuesday Collins ended with 26 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one block across 30 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Collins was efficient from the field and active on the glass en route to his first double-double since Nov. 27, when he posted 23 points and 14 rebounds in a loss against the Heat. Collins bounced back from two subpar performances, but he still seems to be shaking off the rust after missing eight straight games earlier this month. He's averaging just 12.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game across his last 10 outings.

Production remains limited Collins notched four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 loss to Chicago.

Impact Collins made his second appearance Wednesday following an eight-game absence, but his playing time was limited once again during the narrow loss to the Bulls. He remained consistent on the boards but has been eased into action over the last two games. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Hawks continue to monitor the 25-year-old's workload over the next few matchups.

Limited in victory Monday Collins (ankle) produced 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Monday's 126-125 win over the Magic.

Impact Collins was back on the floor after an eight-game absence. While he was inserted straight into the starting lineup, he was limited to just 20 minutes. Still, he managed to cobble together a decent line despite the limited playing time, doing enough to keep fantasy managers happy. He should continue to work his way back over the next few games, starting with what could be a favorable matchup against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Expected to play Monday Collins (ankle) is expected to play Monday against the Magic, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Collins has been sidelined since Nov. 30 and missed eight straight games after suffering a left ankle sprain, but he is slated to return to the hardwood Monday night.

Impact Collins hasn't played since Nov. 30 due to a left ankle sprain, but it appears he's getting close to returning to game action. His potential availability would likely mean less minutes for Jalen Johnson.
