John Collins (concussion) a game-time call for Hawks Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins (concussion evaluation) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Collins took an inadvertent elbow to the head during the first half of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and never returned. Hawks head coach Lloy Pierce said Collins will either be cleared to play Wednesday or held out through next week's All-Star break. Danilo Gallinari started the second half in place of Collins on Tuesday and he could step in as Atlanta's starting power forward if needed. Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu also stand to benefit.
numberFire’s models currently project Collins for 33.1 FanDuel points versus the Celtics and he has a salary of $6,800 on Wednesday’s nine-game slate. Trae Young is registering a 4.9 percent usage increase and averaging 49.3 FanDuel points per 36 minutes when Collins isn't on the court this season.
