This stellar outing demonstrates Collins’ value, especially in 8-category fantasy formats, where he has consistently performed at a third-round level over the past two weeks. His return brings renewed interest for fantasy basketball managers.
Minutes Distribution to Monitor
The game featured a significant minutes distribution worth noting. Derrick Jones Jr., who is also returning from a knee injury, played 20 minutes off the bench. As the team continues to face a mix of opponents, the division of playing time between Collins and Jones Jr. will be crucial.
The recent blowout victory over the Kings may have impacted player rotations, making it essential for managers to monitor how this strategy plays out against more formidable teams.
