CJ McCollum News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Turns back clock Monday McCollum closed Monday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks with 31 points (11-24 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and nine assists over 41 minutes.

Impact McCollum has been enduring a rough season and has been New Orleans' third-best scoring threat at times behind Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram (toe) when the latter is healthy, but he turned back the clock here and notched a season-best scoring mark. He's been playing very well of late and has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five outings, averaging 25.8 points per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 45.9 percent from deep in that span.

He entered the break with 24 points before going just 1-of-6 over the final two quarters as New Orleans fell to the Suns on the road.

Efficiency issues persist McCollum closed with eight points (3-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 104-98 win over the Pistons.

Impact McCollum has scored less than 10 points in all three games since returning after missing time due to the league's health and safety protocols. The star guard also posted his second-highest turnover tally of the season while picking up four fouls in Thursday's win. Fantasy managers should expect McCollum to take time to work back up to speed, as he is 8-of-33 from the field in his last three contests.

Shooting woes continue in win McCollum notched seven points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-106 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact McCollum struggled from the field for a second consecutive game, finishing with a single-digit scoring total for only the fifth time this season. The veteran missed four games at the end of November due to COVID-19 protocols and looks like he'll need a bit of a ramp-up period before he's back up to speed. Over the last two games, McCollum is a combined 5-of-22 from the field.

Struggles in return McCollum (conditioning) notched five points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Friday's 117-99 win over the Spurs.

Impact After a four-game absence while he was in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, McCollum looked rusty in his return. Despite reclaiming his typical workload, McCollum produced little to show for it. He's a bounce-back candidate with a high-profile matchup coming up against Denver on Sunday.
