C.J. McCollum goes cold from the field as Blazers top Pelicans
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum struggled to the tune of 7 points on 3-of-19 shooting, adding 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks in Tuesday's four-point victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Point guard Damian Lillard made up for McCollum's struggles in this one, scoring 41 points on 18-of-33 shooting, but Lillard will get the day off due to the birth of his child on Wednesday, leaving McCollum to do some heavy lifting against the Memphis Grizzlies.
numberFire's models project McCollum for 23.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 38.4 minutes of action on Wednesday.
