Spurs' Zach Collins: Struggles from field Thursday
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.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Gets starting nod Thursday
Collins is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Collins will get the nod at center with Victor Wembanyama out for rest purposes. It will be a solid chance for Collins to get some minutes before the start of the regular season against the Mavericks on Oct. 24, as he's expected to open the campaign in a bench role as Wembanyama's primary backup at center.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Struggles in spot start Saturday
Collins recorded 11 points (4-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 20 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 preseason win over the Jazz.
Collins got the start at center without Victor Wembanyama (rest), and while the veteran posted solid numbers, he struggled with his shot a bit. Collins is expected to operate as Wembanyama's backup once the regular season begins, but in that role, his upside should be very low.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Just misses double-double Sunday
Collins chipped in 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 win over the Pistons.
The veteran center played through a minor thumb injury and missed recording his fourth double-double of the season. Collins provided some valuable experience in the frontcourt behind Victor Wembanyama (ankle), but it's not clear if the Spurs are interested in bringing him back next season in the same role or will look to move his contract this summer.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Provides spark off bench
Collins logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 121-120 win over the Nuggets.
Despite moving back to the bench Friday, Collins was still a large part of the Spurs' comeback effort. The 26-year-old big man led San Antonio's bench in points and rebounds. Across his 40 bench appearances this season, Collins is averaging 8.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 18.0 minutes.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Questionable for Sunday
Collins is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs with a left thumb contusion, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
This sounds like a minor issue for Collins, but the Spurs may exercise caution for the season finale. If Collins is able to play, there would be a lot of usage up for grabs with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sidelined.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Shifts to bench
Collins isn't starting Friday's game against Denver.
Collins picked up a spot start at center Wednesday while Victor Wembanyama sat with an ankle injury, but the Gonzaga product will serve in a reserve role Friday evening. He's averaging 8.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in his last seven appearances off the bench.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Hits for team-high 20 in loss
Collins amassed 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-89 loss to the Thunder.
The center led the Spurs in scoring as he got the start with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sidelined. Collins last scored at least 20 points back on March 7 against the Kings, and his workload and usage have varied wildly at times this season depending on Wembanyama's availability. The team hasn't yet indicated whether the superstar rookie will play again this season with only two games left on San Antonio's schedule, so Collins could be a solid fantasy option in those contests.
