CJ McCollum: Comes close to double-double
McCollum totaled 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 37 minutes during Thursday's 111-106 loss to the Mavericks.
The Scoop: McCollum was efficient from the field and finished just two assists away from recording a double-double, but the veteran's efforts were not enough to lift New Orleans past Dallas in a tight contest. The point guard has scored at least 19 points in five straight games and is averaging a robust 24.3 points per game since the start of January, establishing himself as a reliable scoring threat in a span where both Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson (hamstring) have missed time. McCollum might experience a reduction in his scoring with Ingram back, but he remains a strong play across all formats.
