CJ McCollum's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) will return from a 13-game absence on Monday versus Indiana. The veteran played in only four games at the start of the season before landing on the shelf with an adductor injury. McCollum returns to action against a team that struggles on the defensive end and is in a situation where he will likely need to take on additional offensive responsibilities, with Brandon Ingram (calf) ruled out for the contest. The return of McCollum will negatively impact Elfrid Payton's fantasy stock.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's clash with Indiana. McCollum last played on Oct. 29, missing 13 games, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning to the lineup. On Saturday, McCollum went through a full-contact practice. McCollum's return will push Elfrid Payton to the bench, where he won't have any fantasy value. Across four games this season, McCollum has averaged 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) will remain out on Friday versus Golden State. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out, missing a 13th consecutive game. Elfrid Payton should receive another start with McCollum on the shelf. He had a solid season debut with 11 points, five rebounds, and eight assists on Wednesday against Cleveland. The Pelicans will have Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Jordan Hawkins (back) back on Friday, but their return will likely impact Brandon Boston Jr. more.
