McCollum finishes March with per-game averages of 24.8 points, 6.8 dimes, 4.2 boards and 2.5 three-pointers over the course of the month.

Available for Sunday's game McCollum (ankle) will be available Sunday against the Lakers.

Impact The Pelicans listed all three of McCollum, Brandon Ingram (hamstring) and Jonas Valanciunas (foot) as questionable, but all three players will be active as the team finishes out the second leg of a back-to-back. McCollum finished Saturday night's loss to the Spurs with 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes.

Nursing sprained ankle McCollum is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers with a sprained left ankle, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact McCollum presumably picked up the injury during Saturday's loss to the Spurs, though he was still able to produce 32 points (12-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes.

Impact The two teams featured entirely different philosophies on offense in this one -- while all five Spurs starters, and seven San Antonio players in total, scored in double digits, McCollum was one of only three Pelicans to contribute more than six points. The veteran guard has dropped at least 25 points in four straight games and 20-plus in 10 straight, averaging 26.2 points, 6.9 assists, 4.2 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.0 steals over that latter stretch.
