Does it all in win McCollum logged 26 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-107 victory over the Rockets.
Impact Coming into the contest, McCollum had totaled just 27 points (10-29 FG) over his previous two matchups, so Sunday's offensive performance was certainly a step in the right direction. The dynamic point guard also displayed his defensive prowess by recording multiple tallies in each defensive category for just the second time all season. Across nine March appearances, McCollum is averaging 21.8 points, 6.6 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals-plus-blocks.

Poor outing against Lakers McCollum closed Tuesday's 123-108 loss to the Lakers with 13 points (5-17 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes.
Impact McCollum saw his streak of 20-point performances end at three games and struggled massively from the field Tuesday, ending the game with more field-goal attempts than points scored. The veteran thrived in the assists department and recorded at least eight dimes for the third straight contest, but he needs to be more consistent with his shooting to maintain his fantasy value. He's averaged 21.0 points, 6.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game over his last 10 contests.

Delivers double-double McCollum contributed 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 127-110 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Even though Brandon Ingram (foot) was sidelined for the second straight game, McCollum embraced a secondary role on offense in a game where Trey Murphy caught fire early and rolled to a career-high 41 points and nine triples. Thanks in part of Murphy's hot shooting, McCollum was able to cash in with 11 assists, one shy of matching his best total of the season. While playing point guard on a full-time basis for the first time now that he's no longer sharing a backcourt with Damian Lillard, McCollum has maintained a career-best average of 5.9 assists per game in 2022-23.

Excels from deep, free-throw line McCollum concluded Saturday's 110-96 loss to the Thunder with 26 points (8-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists and seven rebounds in 39 minutes.
Impact With Brandon Ingram (foot) sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set, McCollum shouldered most of the offensive load for the Pelicans, finishing the night with a team-high 30.9 percent usage rate. Despite drawing increased defensive focus, McCollum came through with a strong showing from both three-point range and the free-throw line. McCollum has bounced back from the charity stripe in a big way after converting at a career-worst 68.2 percent clip in 2021-22. He's now maintaining an 80.1 percent rate for the 2022-23 season, with that percentage right in line with his career-long rate (80.9 percent).

Game-high 32 points in win McCollum provided 32 points (12-22 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 victory over the Mavericks.
Impact McCollum was already having a solid game overall but really took off in the fourth quarter, knocking down six of nine shot attempts, including all four attempts from beyond the arc, for a total of 16 points to close out the Mavericks. The shooting guard finished with a game-high 32 points on the night and also knocked down a game-high six three pointers off only eight attempts while adding five boards and five assists. McCollum has scored at least 20 points in three of four games to start the month, shooting 46.1 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from three over that stretch.

Drops 24 points against former team McCollum registered 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact McCollum had been playing through a right thumb injury of late that may have played a part in him shooting 14 of 37 from the field and two of 17 from three-point range over the previous two contests, but his more efficient showing Wednesday might have restored the faith of fantasy managers. Brandon Ingram has taken over as the Pelicans' go-to option since returning from a toe injury in late January, but the continued absence of Zion Williamson (hamstring) leaves enough usage left over for McCollum to make a consistent impact in the scoring and assists columns.
