In just his second game with Atlanta, McCollum eclipsed the 20-point mark for the first time. Since being acquired from Washington, McCollum is averaging 17.5 points and 3.5 assists in two games. However, he is just 3-of-7 from the foul line and has pulled down one total rebound in the two contests. McCollum and the Hawks head to Portland on Thursday.

CJ McCollum has been traded to the Atlanta Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

McCollum is being shipped off to Atlanta as part of the package deal that Washington put together to acquire Trae Young. The veteran will now find himself on his third team in the last two years, but he has been having a pretty good season so far and should continue to be a good fantasy option with the Hawks. With Corey Kispert also gone for the Wizards, Tre Johnson and Justin Champagnie should continue to see a solid amount of work moving forward.

After logging 38 minutes in Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Magic, CJ McCollum will receive a maintenance day Wednesday against the 76ers. The veteran guard posted 27 points (11-of-19 FGs, 3-of-7 3PT, 2-of-2 FT), six rebounds, and five assists in the win before being ruled out with right quadriceps soreness.

Washington will give McCollum the night off on the second leg of the back-to-back set, opening up extended playing time for Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson. The rest day should have McCollum ready to return for the Wizards' next outing.

CJ McCollum put together a strong all-around performance Tuesday, finishing with 27 points (11-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, and three three-pointers in Washington's victory over the Magic. The veteran guard felt he "left some money on the table" during an excellent first half, according to his halftime walk-off interview, and responded by shooting 4-of-6 from the field in the fourth quarter to help seal the Wizards' tenth win of the season.

Fantasy Impact

McCollum's name has surfaced in recent Trae Young trade speculation, making him a player to monitor as the February deadline approaches. For fantasy managers, the encouraging news is that he continues delivering solid value regardless of the trade chatter.
