John Collins Over 20.5 PRA

John Collins has quietly been really good this year. He is starting at center for the Utah Jazz who have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA in January. When Collins plays his normal allotment of minutes he hits this line nearly every time.

Last game Collins got 22 PRA in just three quarters before being benched in the 4th quarter due to a blowout. He played just 21 minutes. In the two games before that he played 32 minutes in closer contests. For this one we project him at 28 minutes.

So far on the season Collins has hit over 20.5 PRA in 70% of his games (31/44 games). Games where he plays at least 27 minutes he has hit this over in 88% of games (21/24 games).

This is a tough matchup against the New York Knicks. However, they are without their starting power forward and someone who would directly matchup with Collins for a good amount of the game, Julius Randle.

Both the Jazz and Knicks are on a back-to-back but Collins played just 21 minutes so he should still be fresh. The Knicks without Randle played Jericho Sims 24 minutes, Isaiah Hartenstein 21 minutes, and Precious Achiuwa 33 minutes. Not the scariest matchups.
