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.
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.
