This is a player who has been heating up, boasting a perfect hit rate in his last four games, not to mention a stellar 15 out of 18 at home. Collins' recent averages stand at 16.8 points and 5 rebounds, but he's shown a knack for stepping up against Dallas, averaging 16.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in their last encounters.
