Cody Williams

Collins has appeared in only two games since December 21, with his absences freeing up opportunities for multiple young players. Cody Williams has made starts in the past, but Svi Mykhailiuk received the nod in Saturday's loss to Memphis. Svi offers a higher fantasy ceiling, so he's the play who should be targeted if Collins remains out.

Collins has only appeared in two games since December 21, and his absence has freed up rotation minutes for some of Utah's younger players. While Cody Williams started the most recent game Collins missed, he's also out due to injury. Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh will play more minutes with Collins out of the lineup.

The return of Markkanen and Collins means Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk should shift back to the bench after extended stints with the first unit.

Williams exited early from Monday's game against the Pelicans and was seen in a walking boot after the game. An exact timeline for his potential absence hasn't been made clear, but he will at least miss this one. Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh (ankle) will take on larger roles with Williams out.

Markkanen has missed four straight games with a back injury and is listed as questionable against the Thunder Wednesday. The 27-year-old power forward will continue to be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Cody Williams if he's out once again.
