Double-doubles in loss Collins provided 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Collins has been scorching from the field in his last five games, as he is averaging 16.4 points on 72.1 percent from the field and 2.2 threes on a 61.1 percent clip in that span. After losing Derrick Jones (knee) again for the next six weeks, the team will likely rely on Collins and Nicolas Batum to round out the power forward position.

Good to go Tuesday Collins (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Collins will shed his questionable tag and return to action after missing Sunday's win over Detroit due to an illness. The 28-year-old forward has been a mainstay in the starting lineup since Nov. 10, and he has averaged 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.0 minutes per game across 10 outings during December. Nicolas Batum will likely see his minutes dip with Collins available.

Iffy for Tuesday Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Collins is still under the weather and is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest. If the 28-year-old forward is unable to give it a go Tuesday, Nicolas Batum will likely take on an increased role. Over his last five games, Collins has averaged 13.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks in 26.8 minutes per tilt.

Won't play Sunday Collins (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Collins will miss his first game of the season Sunday as he battles an illness. Ivica Zubac (ankle) is also out, meaning Nicolas Batum, Brook Lopez, Yanic Konan Niederhauser and Kobe Brown will hold down frontcourt duties. Derrick Jones' return should help as well, though he'll likely be under a significant minutes restriction. Collins' next chance to play will come Tuesday against Sacramento.

Downgraded to questionable Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Collins was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't an encouraging sign for his availability ahead of tipoff at 9:00 p.m. ET. If the 28-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Nicolas Batum could see increased playing time, while Kobe Brown might enter the Clippers rotation.

Posts 13 points in loss Collins posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 128-108 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Replacing Ivica Zubac (ankle) will be a tall order, so Collins and Brook Lopez will have to step up and take pressure off Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, who are expected to do most of the heavy lifting during the absence. Collins' result was serviceable, but he needs higher rebound and scoring totals to improve his effectiveness. He showed he was capable with a 17/12 double-double against the Lakers earlier in the week, and he did well enough despite Alperen Sengun's imposing presence in the paint during Tuesday's victory.

Steps up in decisive win Collins chipped in 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 103-88 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Ivica Zubac showed significant signs of injury before finally exiting the game, and Collins was exceptional in holding down the frontcourt in his absence. Although the team has Brook Lopez available to step in, Collins has begun to show much consistency after suffering through a tough scoring slump in mid-November. Collins was brought in to help Zubac in the interior, but the veteran has plenty of experience holding down the five by himself. Zubac's potential absence could give him an opportunity to replicate some of his old magic from his days with Atlanta and Utah.

Kawhi Leonard has season-high 32 points as Clippers beat Lakers 103-88 to snap 5-game skid

Drops 20 in Thursday's loss Collins accumulated 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 122-101 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact The veteran big man reached 20 points in a game for only the second time this season, falling just short of the season-high 21 he scored against the Mavericks on Nov. 29. Collins is struggling to make a consistent impact in his first campaign with the Clippers, and through seven games in December he's averaging 13.1 points, 3.6 boards, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.1 minutes while shooting a woeful 19.2 percent (5-for-26) from beyond the arc.
