Atlanta's John Collins will start at center on Thursday
Per AtlantaHawks.com's KL Chouinard, Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins will draw the start at center against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night.
What It Means:
With Luke Babbitt (back) sidelined, Collins has gotten three straight starts at power forward. Tonight, Babbitt will return, but the Hawks are now without Dewayne Dedmon for 3-to-6 weeks as he deals with a stress reaction in his leg. That has forced Mike Budenholzer to start the two side-by-side with Miles Plumlee playing backup center minutes off the Hawks' bench.
Collins costs $5,900 and is projected for 31.2 FanDuel points in 31.6 minutes Thursday against Kevin Love and the Cavaliers.
