PF 1 - John Collins (Atlanta Hawks):
The Atlanta Hawks have been a really bad team to start their 2018-19 NBA season. They are currently bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 6-22 record, having lost 7 of their last 10 matches and they do not seem likely to win a lot this season. They have lost their last 2 matches in a row and go up against the Brooklyn Nets tomorrow. One player who has not had the spotlight on him but is having a really good start to his season is forward John Collins.


Collins has been outperforming expectations since his return onto the court, averaging almost 18 points per game, along with atleast 9 rebounds too. He has had 7 matches in a row where he has post a double-double and it doesn't look like he will stop anytime soon. In his last 3 games, he has scored an average of 20 points per match, while grabbing almost 14 rebounds per game as well. He has had a block each game and will continue to get better as he becomes more accustomed to the court after his injury. Look out for him to have a great game against the Brooklyn Nets.
