Cleared for Wednesday return
Collins (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Raptors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Collins will return to action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He'll presumably slot right back into the starting lineup, which would bump Nicolas Batum back to his usual bench role.

Won't play Monday
Collins (ankle) is out for Monday's game against Milwaukee, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Collins will sit out Monday's matchup due to a left ankle sprain. Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders should be in line for an uptick in opportunities with Collins sidelined.

Downgraded to questionable
Collins (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, per Law Murray of The Athletic.
Analysis
The Clippers initially deemed Collins probable due to a left ankle sprain, so it's possible he suffered a slight setback during Monday's morning shootaround. If Collins is ultimately downgraded to out, the likes of Jordan Miller, Kris Dunn and Nicolas Batum would all be in line for more playing time.

Solid outing despite loss
Collins logged 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis
Collins enjoyed a bigger role on offense due to the absence of Kawhi Leonard (ankle), and the veteran stepped up while ending just two rebounds shy of a double-double. Collins missed seven games in early March due to a neck strain but has looked good since returning to the hardwood, averaging 14.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in four appearances (three starts).

Strong line in loss
Collins posted 18 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis
Collins continues to play at a high level for the Clippers. Over his last three games, he's shooting 50.0 percent from the field with averages of 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks in 23.3 minutes per game. His minutes could trend up after recently dealing with a neck injury.
