John Collins Out Tuesday Against Atlanta
3 months agoUtah Jazz forward John Collins (personal) won't face his former team on Tuesday when the Jazz host the Hawks. Collins has played just one game since December 21 after missing five games with a hip contusion before returning on Saturday and then missing Sunday's game with a personal matter that will also keep him away from the team on Tuesday. On Sunday, Micah Potter started in his spot against the Jazz and had three points, two rebounds, a steal, and a block in 21 minutes. Off the bench, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski both had big games with Sensabaugh scoring a team-high 27 points after scoring 34 points on Saturday night in Miami. Sensabaugh was the Jazz's first-round pick in 2023, and he should continue to get a chance to showcase his upside while Collins, Jordan Clarkson (foot), and Keyonte George (heel) are all sidelined.

John Collins Out For At Least Two Weeks
2 weeks agoThe Utah Jazz have announced that forward John Collins (ankle) has suffered a lateral ankle sprain in his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 27-year-old has battled a multitude of injuries this season and appeared in 40 of a possible 66 games so far. The earliest he would be back is March 27 against the Houston Rockets, so Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski will likely see a sizeable boost in minutes in the meantime. Both have been inconsistent, but could be used in short streaming spurts. Sensabaugh averages 9.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while Filipowski has posted 8.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists.

John Collins To Remain Sidelined On Wednesday
3 weeks agoUtah Jazz forward John Collins (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Collins is set to sit out for the sixth time of the last seven games. The Jazz aren't exactly playing for much at this point, so they have little incentive to play their starters right now. That being said, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski figure to continue playing significant roles in the rotation. Both players are worth a look as streaming options while the Jazz are shorthanded. Filipowski has been the better option between the two forwards lately.

John Collins Misses Meeting With Pistons
4 weeks agoUtah Jazz forward/center John Collins (back) will not be in action on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Following a three-game absence, Collins was back in the lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he will miss a second straight contest on Monday. The Jazz also remain without Lauri Markkanen (back), which opens up additional playing time for Kenyon Martin Jr, Brice Sensabaugh, and Kyle Filipowski. The latter has posted three double-doubles in the past four games, while Sensabaugh finished among Utah's top scorers in the last game with 21 points. Martin Jr's production has been inconsistent, making him the least appealing fantasy option out of these players.
