John Collins: Finger| Game log| Is playing tonight| Injury status
Finger:
Collins has been out recently due to a right ring finger sprain and a right foot strain. But in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs, he has received the green light to take the court versus Bam Adebayo and Miami.
Our models project Collins for 12.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 25.7 FanDuel points across 25.7 minutes of action.
Game log:
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday evening in the play-in tournament, but they will get one more chance at the NBA Playoffs when they host the Atlanta Hawks on Friday evening for a chance at the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Kemba Walker’s tenure with the New York Knicks appears to have ended. However, I still believe that the four-time NBA All-Star can be a productive player.
Is playing tonight:
Ben Stinar and Haley Jordan sat down to talk about Washington Wizards star Kristaps Porzingis in a recent episode of Stinar For 3. Porzingis was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Washington Wizards at the NBA Trading Deadline.
He has not been an All-Star since 2018, when he was on the New York Knicks.
Especially on a team that is contending for an NBA Championship. He has played for the Charlotte Hornets, Boston Celtics and Knicks over his 11-year NBA career.
Injury status:
Fortunately for Atlanta, reinforcements are on the way elsewhere. John Collins, out since March 11 with injuries to both his finger and foot, will play in Game 1 of the Heat series, according to The Athletic.
Collins and Capela are very different players, and the former replacing the latter will force the Hawks to rely far more on offense than defense, but at least the Hawks will have someone to fill in the minutes Capela is missing.
