Flashes two-way potential
Collins notched 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 129-108 loss to Utah.
Analysis
Going against his former team, Collins trailed only James Harden and Kawhi Leonard in minutes played for LA. Twelve of those came in the final frame with the game out of reach. Nonetheless, it was a positive showing overall. Collins hit the boards well and sank one of two tries from deep. He also showcased defensive upside with three stocks, which could afford him more opportunity going forward.

Coming off bench Wednesday
Collins will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Collins started in two of the Clippers' four preseason contests, but he'll come off the bench for the regular-season opener. The 28-year-old power forward should be one of the top options off the bench for the Clippers. James Harden, Bradley Beal, Kawhi Leonard, Derrick Jones and Ivica Zubac make up the first five Wednesday.
