Collier has scored in double digits in five of the last six games (one start), averaging 12.5 points, 6.7 assists, 3.5 boards and 1.2 steals in 26.0 minutes while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor.

Collier notched his third double-double of the season, and it was his second-highest assist total of the year. It wasn't a great shooting night, as he didn't connect on any tries from downtown, but he still surpassed his season average in scoring (8.6). The biggest factor in Collier's production is playing time.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Logs double-double from bench
Rotowire
Collier logged 18 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT) and 13 assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 loss to the Lakers.
Collier recorded his second double-double of the season in the loss. The second-year pro saw his first-team aspirations fade after a hamstring injury kept him out of action to begin the year, but the USC product has continued to demonstrate an innate ability to move the ball around. Keyonte George's rise to the starting role at point guard is certainly well-deserved, but Collier has proven to be equally capable as a backup.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Records double-double in blowout

Collier amassed 14 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 152-128 win over the Pacers.
Collier came off the bench during the blowout win and was an effective floor general during his stint on the floor. Although the second-year pro led the team in assists, it appears that he'll be fighting a battle for minutes in the short term. Collier's hamstring injury has caused him to drop in the rotation, and standout play from Svi Mykhailiuk and Ace Bailey isn't helping matters.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Goes for 10 points in debut
Rotowire
Collier produced 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three assists across 26 minutes Friday in the Jazz's 137-97 loss to the Timberwolves.
After missing Utah's first six games of the season due to a hamstring injury, Collier was made available for each of the Jazz's ensuing two contests but didn't crack the rotation in either contest. Head coach Will Hardy elected to shake up his lineup for Friday's contest, as Collier entered the starting five while Taylor Hendricks shifted to the bench. Though he ended up seeing ample minutes Friday, Collier offered limited production, recording more turnovers (four) than assists while finishing a team-worst minus-36 during his time on the court. Given how much more smoothly the Jazz had functioned over the first eight games of the season with Keyonte George as the team's lead facilitator, it wouldn't be surprising if Collier ended up moving back to the bench for Utah's next game, Monday in a rematch with the Timberwolves.
