Jazz's John Collins: Re-evaluated in one week
Rotowire
The Jazz announced Wednesday that Collins (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Collins has been cleared to ramp up his on-court work, but this timetable has him being re-evaluated just prior to the final two games of the season. Based on how Utah has operated since the All-Star Break, it seems unlikely that Collins will suit up for those. If he's done for the season, he'll finish with averages of 19.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Collins is out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to a left ankle sprain.
Collins provided 28 points (12-30 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-108 loss to Boston, and the veteran forward will be sidelined for this clash. It remains to be seen if he'll be avaliable for the upcoming back-to-back set against the Timberwolves and Bulls on Sunday and Monday, respectively.

Jazz's John Collins: Carries Utah on offense
Rotowire
Collins provided 28 points (12-30 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-108 loss to Boston.
The Jazz turned out to be more competitive than expected in this tight loss to Boston, and Collins had a strong showing as a scoring weapon even if he needed 30 shots to score 28 points. The veteran forward, who was returning to the lineup following a five-game absence due to a back injury, should be one of Utah's go-to players on offense going forward, although given the Jazz's recent resting patterns, it's unclear if he'll be available regularly. It wouldn't be surprising if he sits Wednesday's game against Memphis due to injury management.

With Lauri Markkanen (back) already out, KJ Martin, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased roles again, though Utah is expected to have Walker Kessler (rest) available Monday.

Jazz's John Collins: Game-high 29 points Friday
Rotowire
Collins (back) accumulated 29 points (12-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 27 minutes during Friday's 117-116 win over Minnesota.
Collins made his return from a three-game absence due to lower-back soreness and turned in a big performance, even though an unspecified injury forced him to check out of the game at one point in the second half. Like many of Utah's key players, Collins will be at risk of missing games due to minor injuries over the final month and change of the season while the non-contending Jazz play out the string. When available, however, Collins looks like he'll remain a must-start player in fantasy lineups.
