    • Rough night Saturday
      McCollum produced 16 points (7-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: McCollum went just 7-of-22 from the field, summing up another rough night for the Pelicans. After falling behind early, New Orleans was never able to get back into the game, shooting just 38.1 percent from the floor as a team. Game 4 will be Monday, when the Pelicans will look to restore some pride by avoiding a sweep. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:25 pm
       
    • CJ McCollum produces 16/5/7/2/1 line in loss
      CJ McCollum struggled with his shot but still contributed 16 points (7-of-22 FGs), five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block, two triples and six turnovers against the Thunder on Saturday.

      Advice: McCollum may have produced solid value in the box score, but this wasn’t an efficient performance for him. He started 1-of-10 from the floor, and he accounted for six of the team’s 20 turnovers. New Orleans has needed more out of McCollum with Zion Williamson sidelined, but that hasn’t happened. They’ll host the Thunder in Game 4 on Monday, and McCollum will have to be much better than he was in this one if they want to avoid the sweep and keep their season alive.

    • Boosts offense in loss
      White tallied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

      Advice: White provided a boost on the offensive end of the court for Boston in a losing effort, handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists to go along with a pair of threes and concluding as one of three Celtics in double figures in scoring. White has pitched in nicely behind Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the first round, recording at least 13 points and four rebounds in both outings against Miami.

    • Scores 20 in tight loss Sunday
      McCollum supplied 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: McCollum didn't have his best shooting display Sunday, an issue that has been plaguing him for some time now. He also executed poorly in the final play of the game, where the Pelicans could've gone for a tie or a win. The veteran guard still ended as one of the top scorers for the Pelicans -- a positive sign after he scored a combined 16 points while shooting 7-for-23 in his two Play-In Tournament appearances.

    • CJ McCollum scores 20 with six assists vs. Thunder
      CJ McCollum shot 9-of-22 from the field in Sunday’s 94-92 loss to the Thunder, amassing 20 points, three rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Neither of New Orleans’ top two available scorers performed well in Game 1, with McCollum and Brandon Ingram (12/6/3/0/1 in 37 minutes) shooting a combined 14-of-39 from the field. The former had a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but his leaner from beyond the arc went long. Oklahoma City has multiple wing defenders capable of giving the Pelicans trouble, beginning with Luguentz Dort, and rookie Cason Wallace guarded McCollum well on the final possession. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) not being evaluated for another two weeks, McCollum and Ingram will have to do most of the heavy lifting if the Pelicans are to have any chance of winning the series. Game 2 is on Wednesday. Rotoworld Apr 21, 9:37 pm
       
    • Drops 20 points in return
      White contributed 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 win over the Heat in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: White returned for the start of the postseason after missing Boston's final two games of the regular season with an ankle injury, crossing the 20-point mark while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and concluding as one of two players with 20 or more points in a Game 1 victory. White surpassed the 20-point mark in 19 games over the regular season, doing so for the first time since recording 22 points on March 28. Rotowire.com Apr 21, 3:16 pm
       
    • Derrick White scores 20 points vs. Heat Sunday
      Derrick White scored 20 points (6-of-10 FGs) in the Celtics’ Sunday win against the Heat. He also tallied three rebounds, four assists, and a block. White made four 3-pointers.

      Advice: Boston shared the sugar in Game 1 and White was surprisingly only second to Jayson Tatum in points among Celtics. All their starters are showing that they’re threats to explode on any given night. Rotoworld Apr 21, 1:00 pm
       
    • Available to face Miami on Sunday
      White (ankle) is not on the injury report and will be available to face the Heat on Sunday.

      Advice: White missed Boston's final two games of the regular season, but that was because the team was being cautious with him and wanted to keep him fresh for the postseason. As such, expect White to handle his regular workload in the backcourt alongside Jrue Holiday. White averaged 15.2 points, 5.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds across 32.6 minutes per game in the regular season. Rotowire.com Apr 20, 3:07 pm
       
    • Scores seven in victory
      McCollum supplied seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game win over the Kings.

      Advice: McCollum scored a total of only 16 points across the two Play-In contests, but the Pelicans were still able to press on to the playoffs. The combo guard should bounce back, as he averaged 25.9 points on 47.4 percent shooting over his final 16 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Apr 20, 8:05 am
