Collier registered 16 points (4-6 FG, 8-11 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime win over Chicago.
Collier made the most of his 36 minutes off the bench in this double-overtime win, showing an efficient touch from the field and ending just one assist away from a double-double. Collier didn't make his season debut until Nov. 7 since he was dealing with a hamstring injury earlier in the campaign. However, he has been productive in his five outings, with four double-digit scoring performances while averaging 11.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Records double-double in blowout
Rotowire
Collier amassed 14 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 152-128 win over the Pacers.
Collier came off the bench during the blowout win and was an effective floor general during his stint on the floor. Although the second-year pro led the team in assists, it appears that he'll be fighting a battle for minutes in the short term. Collier's hamstring injury has caused him to drop in the rotation, and standout play from Svi Mykhailiuk and Ace Bailey isn't helping matters.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Collier will come off the bench for Monday's matchup with Minnesota.
Collier logged 26 minutes as a starter in his regular-season debut Friday, so it'll be interesting to see what his minutes look like in the reserve role Monday night. He was a DNP-CD in the previous game, so he's a risky guy to target in daily fantasy leagues.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Goes for 10 points in debut
Rotowire
Collier produced 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three assists across 26 minutes Friday in the Jazz's 137-97 loss to the Timberwolves.
After missing Utah's first six games of the season due to a hamstring injury, Collier was made available for each of the Jazz's ensuing two contests but didn't crack the rotation in either contest. Head coach Will Hardy elected to shake up his lineup for Friday's contest, as Collier entered the starting five while Taylor Hendricks shifted to the bench. Though he ended up seeing ample minutes Friday, Collier offered limited production, recording more turnovers (four) than assists while finishing a team-worst minus-36 during his time on the court. Given how much more smoothly the Jazz had functioned over the first eight games of the season with Keyonte George as the team's lead facilitator, it wouldn't be surprising if Collier ended up moving back to the bench for Utah's next game, Monday in a rematch with the Timberwolves.

No surprise here, as Collier is expected to be Utah's point guard for the future. The 2024 first-rounder is still ramping up his activity while rehabbing from a hamstring strain, but Collier will likely start upon his eventual return.
