Collison scored 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting. | Insight: Collison played 81 games and 29 mpg this season, but he was inconsistent and only averaged 12 ppg and 5.1 apg. Dallas coach Rick Carlisle never seemed fully committed to Collison as the starting point guard. | | |

It's unclear if this change will last more than one game. | | |

Description: Mavericks point guard Darren Collison has gone ice cold from the field lately. He's shooting just 30.6 percent (15-of-49) over his last five games. | Insight: Collison has been a solid point guard option since he reacquired the starting job in late December but fantasy owners should take him out of the lineup until he rediscovers his shot. | | |

| 12/28/2012 8:35:00 PM |
Description: Dallas point guard Darren Collison will start again Friday after scoring a season-high 32 points Thursday in an overtime loss to Oklahoma City. | Insight: Collison has seemingly won back the starting point guard job that was up for grabs after Derek Fisher asked for his release. He shot 13-of-22 (4-4 3PT) with five rebounds, four assists and four steals Thursday and should be active in all fantasy lineups Friday against the Nuggets | | |

Description: Dallas point guard Darren Collison will come off the bench again Tuesday. | Insight: Starter Derek Fisher was believed to be out with the flu but word has come through that Fisher will start Tuesday. Collison is only averaging 11 points and 4.0 assists in his last nine games, all off the bench, but his 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals in that span have helped keep his fantasy value up. | | |

Description: Dallas point guard Darren Collison is questionable for Saturday's game against Detroit. He's struggling with a sprained finger on his right hand. | Insight: It's been an up and down season for Collison, who is coming off the bench behind starter Derek Fisher. Collison is averaging 12.9 ppg, 2.3 rpg and 6.3 apg. | | |
| 11/28/2012 7:51:00 PM |
Description: Dallas point guard Darren Collison won't be available for Wednesday night's game against Chicago. He's struggling with a sprained finger on his right hand. | Insight: It's been an up and down season for Collison. Saturday he looked awful (1-for-10 from the field) but Tuesday against the Sixers he played much better and finished with 12 points. This injury seems pretty minor so we wouldn't expect the former Pacer to miss more than a game or two. | | |

Description: Mavericks point guard Darren Collison was the latest player to find himself coming off the bench as coach Rick Carlisle continues to tinker. | Insight: Collison scored 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting with six assists, three rebounds and five steals in 30 minutes. Aside from the five steals, that's about the production we've come to expect from him this season. Tuesday's starting PG Dominique Jones only played 18 minutes and scored two points on 0-of-5 shooting. | | |
| Cold | 11/27/2012 7:06:00 PM |
Description: The Mavericks will start Dominique Jones at point guard Tuesday against the 76ers, with Darren Collison moving to the bench. Jae Crowder also gets the start at power forward in place of Elton Brand, and Chris Kaman steps back into the starting lineup for Brandan Wright after coming off the bench for one game. | Insight: Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle has frequently changed up his rotation this season. This will be his seventh different starting lineup, tied for most in the NBA with Orlando. | | |
| Cold | 11/25/2012 10:04:00 AM |
Description: Mavericks point guard Darren Collison went just 1-for-10 from the field for two points with four turnovers Saturday against the Lakers. | Insight: Collison has sandwiched a 19-point game with two games in which he shot a combined 3-of-21 from the field for nine points. The point guard is only averaging 11.1 points on 35.9 percent shooting his last nine games after averaging 16.2 on 56.1 percent shooting in his first five. | | |
| 11/1/2012 4:09:00 PM |
Description: Mavericks point guard Darren Collison has scored 17 points in each of his first two games with the team. | Insight: Collison has averaged 13.6 points and 5.9 assists in 174 career starts. He doesn't have any competition for Dallas' starting PG position so he should post solid numbers for fantasy owners. | | |
| 7/11/2012 10:32:00 PM |
Description: The Pacers have agreed to trade point guard Darren Collison and shooting guard Dahntay Jones to the Mavericks for center Ian Mahinmi. | Insight: Dallas was looking for a starting point guard after Deron Williams chose to stay with the Nets and Jason Kidd jumped to the Knicks. The Mavericks also lost Jason Terry to Boston, so Collison figures to play a major role. He averaged 10.4 ppg and 4.8 apg as Indiana's starting PG last season, but he'll likely exceed those numbers with Dallas, coming closer to his 2010-11 totals of 13.2 points and 5.1 assists per game. | | |
| 5/20/2012 7:01:00 PM |
Description: Darren Collison had a strong game coming off the bench for the Pacers in Game 4 of their series against the Heat. The Indiana guard collected 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting in 20 minutes of playing time. | Insight: It was a very efficient effort from Collison and that's what his fantasy owners have come to expect from him. Collison also added a rebound and an assist. | | |
| 4/17/2012 8:11:00 PM |
Description: Darren Collison did not suit up for Tuesday's game against the 76ers. Collison is still dealing with a groin injury. | Insight: Collison was scoreless in 19 minutes Monday against the Timberwolves, so clearly something isn't right here. George Hill drew the start in Collison's place Tuesday. | | |
| 4/16/2012 7:47:00 PM |
Description: Darren Collison, who had missed Indiana's previous four games with a groin injury, came off the bench Monday night against the Pacers. | Insight: George Hill (9.3 ppg) got the start for Indiana. Collison (10.8 ppg, 4.9 apg) should reclaim his role as the Pacers starting point guard as soon as his groin is 100 percent. But for now, expect coach Frank Vogel to be conservative with his young star. | | |
| 4/16/2012 4:00:00 PM |
Description: pacers PG Darren Collison (groin) is likely out again on Monday. | Insight: Collison continues to be listed as day-to-day, but the injury seems worse than that. George Hill will get the start at point guard. In four starts this season he's averaging a useful 15.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg and 4.8 apg. Those are viable fantasy numbers. | | |
| 4/14/2012 7:58:00 PM |
Description: Darren Collison (groin) is out again on Saturday. | Insight: George Hill is once again a good fantasy play, as he will start at PG. Hill has averaged 16.6 ppg in the last three games, all starts. | | |
| 4/13/2012 7:04:00 PM |
Description: Darren Collison is a no-go for Friday night's game against the Cavaliers. This is the third game in a row that Collison has missed because of a groin injury. | Insight: George Hill has put up 17.5 ppg in the two games Collison has missed, so he's not a bad play tonight if you're fortunate enough to already have Hill on your fantasy roster. | | |
