Portland's C.J. McCollum (foot) starting on Tuesday, Gary Trent Jr. coming off the bench
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
McCollum will start and reportedly play "below his normal minutes" on Tuesday. It's a completely expected result as McCollum returns for the first time since January 16th following a multi-week absence with a foot injury. Our models expect McCollum to play 24.3 minutes against the Pelicans. Gary Trent Jr. moves to the bench.
McCollum's Tuesday projection includes 19.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 31.1 FanDuel points. His salary is $8,700.
