Pelicans acquire McCollum in 7-player trade with Blazers

The New Orleans Pelicans have acquired guard CJ McCollum from the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a seven-player trade

FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • Associated Press

Headed to Portland The Trail Blazers agreed Tuesday to acquire Hart, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Tomas Satoransky, Didi Louzada (knee), a 2022 protected first-round pick and two future second-round pic...

Impact Hart has enjoyed the best season of his career in his fifth year in the NBA in 2021-22, averaging 13.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 33.5 minutes per game over 41 appearances. However, with New Orleans eager to add a more dynamic offensive option to its backcourt in McCollum, Hart was deemed expendable and was sent to Portland, where he'll be one of few healthy and established NBA rotation players on the roster. As such, Hart shouldn't be expected to see much of a reduction in playing time with the move to Portland, as his main competition for minutes at forward in the near term will come from CJ Elleby, Greg Brown and Justise Winslow. Hart could even see a slight uptick in scoring opportunities, given that McCollum's 25.6 percent usage rate on the season will have to be filtered somewhere. Assuming the Trail Blazers and Pelicans can make the deal official in the next day or two, Hart could make his Portland debut as early as Wednesday versus the Lakers.

No limitations in return Hart (knee) finished with 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals across 36 minutes Sunday in the Pelicans' 120-107 win over the Rockets.

Impact Hart received the green light to play after missing the last two games with a bruised left knee, and the heavy minutes he received suggests the Pelicans don't have many concerns about his health heading into the team's upcoming three-game week. With Hart back in action, Jaxson Hayes moved into a bench role, but he still picked up 28 minutes of playing time and put up 21 points, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks while handling backup run at both power forward and center.

Impact Hart has missed the past two games due to a bruised left knee. He's officially listed as questionable, but that designation doesn't warrant optimism, as the fifth-year wing was also listed as questionable ahead of Friday's contest before ultimately being sidelined.

Impact Hart was unavailable Tuesday against Detroit due to a left knee contusion, but he'll have a chance to return to the court Friday. If he's held out again, Tomas Satoransky and Brandon Ingram should see increased playing time.

Out Tuesday Hart won't play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a left knee contusion, Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com reports.

Impact Listed as questionable heading into Monday's eventual 93-90 loss to Cleveland, Hart suited up and finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes. It's unclear if he aggravated the injury or not, but chances are, the Pelicans are simply holding him out for precautionary purposes on the second half of the back-to-back. Hart should have a good chance to return for Friday's game at Denver.

Available, starting Monday Hart (knee) is available and starting Monday against the Cavaliers, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.

Impact Hart was considered questionable due to a bruised left knee but has been cleared to take the court Monday. The 26-year-old averaged 15.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 36.4 minutes over his past five games, and he should continue to see a heavier offensive workload with Brandon Ingram (ankle) still sidelined.

Questionable for Monday's contest Hart is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers due to a left knee contusion.

Impact Hart totaled 10 points and 13 rebounds across 35 minutes during Saturday's loss to Boston, but he apparently picked up a knee injury in the process. Brandon Ingram (ankle) is also questionable, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Garrett Temple and Tomas Satoransky could all be in line for increased roles if one or both of the aforementioned starters is unable to suit up.

Double-doubles in start Hart amassed 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 loss to Boston.

Impact Hart helped on both ends of the floor in Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence. He is an everyday starter as the team moves forward without Zion Williamson (foot), who is still weeks away from a return. Hart has posted double-digit scoring totals in 20 consecutive games and has largely flown under the fantasy radar with 11 double-doubles.
