San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Thursday's matchup against Utah. Collins should continue to fill in as the starting center for Victor Wembanyama (knee). He's averaged 16.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in the first unit lately. The Jazz allow the most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers, making this a dream matchup for Collins. Charles Bassey might get some joy behind him as well.
San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul (thumb) will suit up against Utah on Thursday. He's dealing with a left thumb injury but will be ready to play through it, with the team upgrading him from probable to available. After initially struggling in his new surroundings, Paul has performed well lately and is nicely set up for success on Thursday. San Antonio remains without Victor Wembanyama (knee) and Devin Vassell (knee), giving Paul more offensive responsibilities, while the Jazz tend to have a tough time against opposing point guards.
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) will sit out a third consecutive game on Thursday against Utah. After missing the start of the season due to foot surgery. Vassell is carrying a sore left knee The 24-year-old has been limited to four appearances, averaging 16.3 points and 3.5 assists in 22.5 minutes. Vassell's health issues have helped Stephon Castle to nail down a spot in the starting unit. The 20-year-old rookie has averaged 13.3 points and 4.5 assists in a starting role. Vassell's absence also boosts the fantasy appeal of Keldon Johnson, but he's been extremely inconsistent this season.
San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul (thumb) is expected to remain in the lineup on Thursday versus Utah, with the team listing him as probable for the game. The veteran floor general hurt his left thumb against Oklahoma City but was able to finish the contest. It looks like it's not a very serious injury, and Paul will be good to go for Thursday's juicy matchup -- only Chicago and Washington have allowed more fantasy points to opposing points guards than Utah. Paul has bagged three double-doubles in his last five appearances, averaging 10.7 points and 8.5 assists for the season.
San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (knee) is questionable heading into Thursday night's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Collins is dealing with left knee tendinitis but hasn't missed a game yet this season. The 27-year-old has made two straight starts filling in for Victor Wembanyama who will miss his third straight game on Thursday. Collins has notched 20 and 12 points in his two starts while grabbing six and seven boards. If active, fantasy managers should expect Collins to be in double-digits again. If he's not active, expect Charles Bassey to get the start.
