Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Pops for 20 against former club
CJ McCollum ended Friday's 105-103 victory over the Trail Blazers with 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals in 40 minutes.With Dejounte Murray (hand) sidelined, McCollum was the hub of the New Orleans Pelicans' backcourt and hit for 20-plus points for the second straight game to begin the season. His distribution numbers didn't see a boost, however -- Zion Williamson ended up leading New Orleans in assists with seven -- and while McCollum has averaged between 4.4 and 5.7 assists in each of the last five campaigns, he may not climb above that range even with Murray out for another month or more.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Poor shooting display Tuesday
CJ McCollum recorded eight points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason loss to the Rockets.McCollum had a rough showing offensively Tuesday, though to be fair, the entire New Orleans squad struggled on offense since they racked up 98 total points -- and 20 of those came off the bench via Jordan Hawkins. That said, it's only a preseason game, and McCollum isn't at risk of losing his role in the starting lineup once the regular season begins against the Bulls on Oct. 23. The veteran guard will slot at shooting guard alongside newcomer Dejounte Murray in the backcourt.
