CJ McCollum: 'I don't think I can shoot any worse than I've been shooting'

CJ McCollum is shooting career lows of 39.1% from the field and 27.9% 3-point range this season. He's averaging 17.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.4 steals. Some NBA betting sites are showing the Pelicans with the 13th-best odds to win the championship in 2023.

Pelicans coach Willie Green wants his team to shoot more 3-pointers. New Orleans is currently shooting 47.9% from the field and 36.5% on 3s. The team is also ranked sixth in points per game (116. 5). The Pelicans are 7-6 and play Memphis on Tuesday. Grizzlies guard Jaren Jackson Jr. is a doubt for the game.
