The change of scenery has done wonders for CJ McCollum, who's now running the point in New Orleans and is one of the main scoring options alongside Brandon Ingram. McCollum averaged 24.3 points in 26 games with the Pelicans, making 49.3 percent of his attempts, including 39.4 percent from beyond the arc and he dropped 32 points in Wednesday's 113-103 win against the Spurs. He's built for games like this and he knows that his team may have no tomorrow.
"We have to ride those guys," Pelicans head coach Willie Green said about McCollum and Brandon Ingram. "When you get to this point in the season, you've got to bump their minutes up a little bit more. We're going to run more plays that go through them and allow them to create for others, and they did a heck of a job against San Antonio." McCollum will have plenty of shots and Paul George, one of the players who could have helped contain him, will miss this game because he has entered health and safety protocols.
