Lopez has been out since October 3 with a fractured left foot.

Our View: Lopez is on track to return some time after Thanksgiving, probably during the Suns' four-game road trip starting on November 27. He isn't much of a fantasy force, but he is a hard worker and a good defender who will only add more depth to the rolling Suns.

Our View: The defensively minded Lopez isn't a great fantasy option, but he should boost the Suns as a hole when he's back and again clogging up the lane.

Collins is expected to sign a non-guaranteed deal with the team in time to participate in practice on Tuesday.

Our View: The Suns have made no secret about the fact that they were interested in Collins as soon as he got released, and he should be able to help out in a reserve role while Robin Lopez is out. Collins was brought it to add experience and a rebounding threat, and he won't be fantasy relevant.

Suns interested in Collins The Arizona Republic is reporting that former Blazer center Jarron Collins is scheduled for a tryout with the Phoenix Suns. The Suns are reportedly interested in Collins due to the injury to Robin Lopez, who is scheduled to be out until November.

Our View: The Suns have been interested in Collins since Lopez went down, so this combo makes sense. Assuming Collins is healthy, don't be shocked if he signs with the Suns in the coming days.
