Collier (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Celtics.
A hamstring strain had delayed Collier's season debut for a few weeks, but he's joined the Jazz and is ready to suit up. It wouldn't be surprising if the second-year floor general had a slight minutes restriction, though he could push Svi Mykhailiuk from the first unit right away. Over 46 games as a starter last regular season, Collier averaged 11.5 points, 7.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.5 minutes per contest.

Collier continued his late-season resurgence, turning in another impressive two-way performance. The Jazz began leaning into their youth a little earlier than expected this season, allowing Collier to step into a sizeable role. Although his production has fluctuated, he has proven to be arguably the team's best ball-handler, a welcome sight given the team is littered with talented big men. In his past seven games, Collier is averaging 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 29.5 minutes per game.

Collier was a bright spot during an embarrassing showing by the Jazz, who have lost nine of their last 10 games. Jordan Clarkson's (foot) absence has hampered Utah's backcourt depth, but Collier hasn't missed a beat as the team's de facto starter. He's logged a serviceable rookie campaign so far, averaging 8.1 points, 6.2 assists and 3.3 rebounds over 65 games.

Collier led the team in assists Wednesday while also tying a season high with four steals. With the rebuilding Jazz appearing to begin managing the workloads of their key contributors, the rookie guard should see plenty of ball-handling responsibilities to close out the season. Collier has averaged 11.8 points, 6.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.0 minutes over 11 games in March.
Collier notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 125-122 loss to Washington.
