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 matchup vs. Atlanta is a positive one for shots from the field; when the Atlanta Hawks are at home, the opposing team's starting SGs have tallied the 9th-most field goal attempts per game in the NBA this year (13.6).
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).
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.
In terms of offense, the New Orleans Pelicans's unimpressive 102.9 points per game places lowest in the league this year.
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.
