CJ McCollum Made 3 Point Shots Prop is currently Over/Under 3.5 (+105/-135).
Key Factors
Favors Over
CJ McCollum has been on the court for 33.2 minutes per game while playing on the road this year, ranking in the 86th percentile -- ranking among the most used players in the NBA.
The New Orleans Pelicans have played at the 5th-fastest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games.
The Pelicans are expected to see a spike in possessions today from competing against the fastest pace home offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Hawks).
The Pelicans rank as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
CJ McCollum has successfully made a mere 2.9 shots from downtown per game this year, significantly lower than his 3.4 mark last year.
With respect to threes, the New Orleans Pelicans's lackluster 10.5 successful threes per game ranks worst in the league this year.
Over the last 10 games, opposing starting SGs have totaled 4.6 3-point attempts per game (6th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the Hawks, designating this as a difficult matchup.
CJ McCollum will not have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home stadium usually lowers player production in all stat categories.
