CJ McCollum is a guard for the Atlanta Hawks, serving as a veteran scoring option in the team's backcourt rotation. Standing 6'3" and weighing 190 lbs, McCollum played college basketball at Lehigh before entering the NBA. Born September 19, 1991, he has developed into a reliable mid-range and perimeter scorer over the course of his professional career.
Through 75 games this season, McCollum is averaging 18.7 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game across 29.6 minutes per night. His 44.7% field goal percentage reflects a steady scoring floor, though his 35.6% mark from three-point range and 60.8% from the free-throw line are areas worth noting. He adds 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, and carries a plus-minus of 1.1 on the season. For bettors, McCollum's consistent usage and minutes make him a reasonable target for points props, where his per-game average of 18.7 provides a workable baseline. His assist numbers (3.8 per game) are modest but consistent enough to factor into assist props in favorable matchups. The lower free-throw percentage is worth monitoring on made-FT prop markets, and his three-point volume at 35.6% offers some variance for threes-made props depending on opponent and game pace.
