Rodney Hood will remain in Trail Blazers' first unit
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood will remain in the starting lineup while C.J. McCollum (foot) is out, per head coach Terry Stotts.
What It Means:
McCollum will be out for at least four weeks. Hood recorded a season-high 21 points (9-of-14 field goals) with 2 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 triples over 25 minutes on Monday in his first start of the year. He has room to improve after shooting just 32.0 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from beyond the arc to start the season.
Hood scored 26.4 FanDuel points as a starter on Monday and recorded the second-highest usage percentage (29.6) on the Trail Blazers behind Damian Lillard (40.3). Carmelo Anthony (22.9) was the only other player on the team with a usage rate higher than 20 percent.
