Strong shooting night in loss McCollum closed Monday's 106-103 loss to the Hornets with 27 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists and one steal in 34 minutes.

Impact McCollum did his part in this one, finishing with 20-plus points for his eighth straight contest while shooting over 50 percent from the field. He also knocked down three triples and has now converted three or more in four of his last six matchups. It's reasonable to expect the Pelicans to continue to lean heavily on McCollum's scoring attack with less than a month remaining in the regular season.

Impact McCollum has scored 20-plus points in each of his last seven appearances. During that stretch, the star guard has averaged 25.4 points, 7.6 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.3 minutes per game. He'll look to maintain his strong play against the Hornets on Monday.

Leads balanced attack in win McCollum had 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 124-91 win over San Antonio.

Impact McCollum was the only New Orleans player to hit the 20-point mark in the blowout victory, and no Pelican saw more than 28 minutes of playing time. The veteran guard wasn't exactly efficient as a shooter, but he turned the ball over only once and tied his season high with three steals. McCollum has scored at least 20 points in six straight appearances.

Produces well in return McCollum (COVID-19 protocols) generated 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine assists, five rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes Tuesday in the Pelicans' 131-115 loss to t...

Impact After clearing the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols early Tuesday, McCollum was back in action in his usual starting role following a two-game absence. Because he didn't miss significant time and didn't experience significant symptoms of the virus while he was out, McCollum was able to take on a normal allotment of minutes and delivered a relatively typical stat line. The Pelicans will count on him to shoulder the offensive load most nights, especially while Brandon Ingram (hamstring) remains without a clear return date.

Clears protocols, will play Tuesday McCollum has cleared COVID-19 protocols and will play in Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Impact On Monday afternoon, coach Willie Green hinted at the possibility of McCollum passing through protocols in time to return Tuesday, and that's exactly what's transpired. This is great news for fantasy managers who were bracing for McCollum to potentially be available for only two of the Pelicans' three games this week.

MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday McCollum (COVID-19 protocols) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against Phoenix, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Pelicans head coach Willie Green told reporters that McCollum remains in COVID-19 protocols as of Monday, but the team is not ruling out the possibility that he could be cleared in time for Tuesday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. Green noted that McCollum will still need to get "a couple negative tests" before returning, perhaps hinting that the 30-year-old isn't dealing with overly severe symptoms of the virus. If McCollum is ultimately unable to go Tuesday, he would almost certainly be back for Friday's game at San Antonio.
