Not listed on injury report McCollum is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Golden State. However, he's only expected to play "a few minutes," according to a since-deleted tweet fr...
Impact The Pelicans are holding out several regulars, including Herb Jones, Jonas Valanciunas, Brandon Ingram and Devonte' Graham, but it looks as though McCollum will be active for the regular-season finale. However, he's not expected to play more than a handful of minuets to begin the contest, so he should be avoided in most DFS contests. At this point, the Pelicans are squarely focused on winning Wednesday's do-or-die play-in matchup against the Spurs.

Leads Pelicans with 25 points McCollum had 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-8 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact The Pelicans brought McCollum into the fold in early February to provide offensive punch, and he did just that with a team-leading 25 points in the crucial win Wednesday. The star guard struggled from the charity stripe, but he helped fantasy managers who roster him with a 9-for-16 performance from the field. McCollum finishes March with per-game averages of 24.8 points, 6.8 dimes, 4.2 boards and 2.5 three-pointers over the course of the month.
