C.J. McCollum: Scores playoff career-high 41 points Sunday

McCollum got hot in the first half, hitting 11 of his 15 attempts on route to 27
points, matching a Trail Blazer playoff record for most points in a half. He
ended up finishing 16-for-28, dropping a playoff career-high 41 points, though
his team couldn’t seal a victory. While he only managed to hand out one assist,
his eight rebounds and electric scoring performance likely makes up for it for
those who deployed him in fantasy. Assuming he can get more help from his
teammates, who only scored 34 points minus Damian Lillard’s 34-point
performance, McCollum will probably have a better chance of getting closer to
his 3.6 assists per game average in the following games. Look for him to stay
aggressive moving forward, likely seeing around 40 minutes per game for the
remainder of the series, assuming the games stay close.
