ANALYSIS
The veteran guard hit the 30-point mark for the second time in the last three games, continuing a surge that has seen McCollum average 24.4 points, 4.1 boards, 3.7 assists and 3.5 threes over the last 10 contests while shooting 42.7 percent from beyond the arc. Despite those efforts, the Pelicans have lost eight straight games as an injury-ravaged roster's lack of depth keeps catching up to them -- New Orleans blew an early 20-point lead against Sacramento.
