Drops 30 points in win McCollum closed Sunday's 133-100 victory over the Kings with 30 points (11-16 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 27 minutes.

Impact The Pelicans ran away with this game early, and McCollum did all of his damage in just 27 minutes. He also saw increased usage Sunday evening, as the Pelicans were without Zion Williamson (quadriceps). McCollum is off to a blistering start in the new year, as he's shooting 51.8 percent from the field and 57.6 percent from beyond the arc in his last four games.

CJ McCollum scores 30, Pelicans lead by 50 in 133-100 rout of Kings

CJ McCollum scored 30 points, making seven 3-pointers, and the New Orleans Pelicans led by 50 points in a 133-100 rout of the Sacramento Kings on Sunday

Puts up 24 in big win McCollum contributed 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 victory over Minnesota.

Impact McCollum was impressive on both ends of the court Thursday and looked impressive against one of the best teams in the Western Conference. McCollum has settled to operate as New Orleans' third-best scoring option behind Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late after reaching the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances.

Leading scorer in win McCollum tallied 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six rebounds and five assists over 25 minutes in Tuesday's 112-85 win over the Nets.

Impact The Pelicans opted to sit McCollum and the rest of the starters holding a 27-point lead in the fourth quarter. McCollum was one of seven New Orleans players to finish in double figures and his four three-point makes was the most on the team. He's averaging 19.9 points while making 3.5 three-pointers per game in his 12th NBA season.

Surpasses 20-point mark again McCollum produced 22 points (8-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 win over the Lakers.

Impact McCollum didn't have his best shooting effort, but he drained six threes and reached the 20-point mark for the second game in a row, something he hasn't done with the same consistency he did while he was playing for the Trail Blazers. McCollum has scored in double digits in 10 games in a row and is averaging 20.2 points per contest in that span, but he still plays a somewhat secondary role in an offense that's usually driven by Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.

Solid all-around effort McCollum provided 22 points (8-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Jazz.

Impact McCollum has not been the same dominant scoring threat he was during his Portland days, as the Pelicans' offense revolves around Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, but he can stand out from time to time. This was McCollum's ninth straight game with double-digit points, and he's having an excellent month of December with 20.0 points, 4.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game across his last nine outings. He's also shooting 47.9 percent from deep in that span.

Versatile contributor in victory McCollum closed Thursday's 123-104 win over the Cavaliers with 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals in 34 minutes.

Impact McCollum has been a consistent scorer since returning to the court in late November, tallying at least 17 points in nine of his last appearances. However, he also supplemented his results by matching his second-highest total of the season in rebounds along with his season-high mark in steals. Over his 10 appearances since returning to action, he's averaged 19.4 points, 4.8 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game.
