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.
