John Collins News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Benched down the stretch Collins recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and three turnovers in 24 minutes during Friday's 133-127 double overtime win over Dallas.

Impact While Collins has been starting the past three games, he hasn't done much with the opportunity, posting meager averages of 6.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block per game. Collins was benched down the stretch of this one, and didn't make a single appearance during either overtime period, so it'll be interesting to see if he sticks as a starter for Sunday's game in Boston.

Starting Monday Collins will move into the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Hawks, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Impact Per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said that he'll be sticking with Collins in the starting lineup "for a while," so this is more than a matchup-based decision. Collins is coming off a 19-point performance and he's capable of providing top-40 numbers when given the minutes, so it looks like he'll be rewarding those who stayed patient with him through the slow start.

Impact The 19 points were a season high for Collins, as he continues to adapt to a role on the Clippers' second unit. The veteran big has scored in double digits in eight of nine games to begin the season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 boards, 1.1 threes, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.7 minutes a contest, while shooting an impressive 56.6 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent (10-for-22) from beyond the arc.

Submits another solid showing Collins logged 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 23 minutes during Thursday's 115-102 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Collins was a definite bright spot off the bench for the Clippers, posting an efficient scoring line while also contributing on the defensive end. He's now scored in double figures in four straight matchups, knocking down 52.5 percent of his tries from the field during this stretch. Collins continues to be deployed as a reserve while Derrick Jones maintains hold of a spot in the starting lineup.

Scores 17 points off bench Collins logged 17 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 126-107 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Collins has yet to break into the starting lineup, and he'll continue to play with the second unit as long as Derrick Jones continues to play at a high level. Although Collins has played at the four in the past, he's being used more frequently as Ivica Zubac's direct replacement, which puts a cap on his production.

Plays well off bench Collins contributed 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and three rebounds over 25 minutes during Monday's 120-119 loss to Miami.

Impact Collins is essentially locked into a timeshare with Derrick Jones, and that is currently limiting the fantasy upside of both players. Through six games, Collins is sitting just outside the top-150 in nine-category formats with averages of 11.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 24.2 minutes per contest.

Impact Collins started in two of the Clippers' four preseason contests, but he'll come off the bench for the regular-season opener.
