Spurs' Zach Collins: Questionable for Thursday
Zach Collins is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to left knee tendinitis, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.The San Antonio Spurs are already thin when it comes to their frontcourt depth, and losing Collins would make things even worse for them since they're already without Victor Wembanyama (knee) for the Utah matchup. If Collins is unable to go, then Sandro Mamukelashvili and Charles Bassey would be options to start at center Thursday.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Leads Spurs in loss Saturday
Zach Collins posted 20 points (6-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 110-93 loss to the Mavericks.Collins got the start in place of Victor Wembanyama (knee), and even though he struggled with his shot from beyond the arc, he ended up leading the San Antonio Spurs in scoring. Collins should return to the bench as soon as Wembanyama is ready to return to the hardwood, so his potential upside in most formats will be directly tied to the Frenchman's availability.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Lackluster outing Monday
Zach Collins racked up four points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 14 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Clippers.Collins struggled from the field Monday, though he did tie his season-high mark in steals.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Serviceable effort Monday
Zach Collins recorded 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 13 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to the Rockets.Collins played limited minutes off the bench but finished the night with a serviceable fantasy line. As long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy, Collins is unlikely to play more than about 15 minutes on any given night. He can chip in on both ends of the floor, but without the playing time, he simply can't be trusted outside of very deep leagues.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Struggles from field Thursday
Zach Collins delivered 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason loss to the Rockets.Collins got the start Thursday since Victor Wembanyama was rested ahead of the regular-season opener Oct. 24 against the Mavericks. The big man will be a serviceable backup and should see steady minutes with the second unit, but as a reserve frontcourt player who doesn't stand out in any particular area, his fantasy upside will be close to minimal.
