CJ McCollum (rest) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Grizzlies. The veteran amassed 17 points, five boards, and one steal while shooting 4-for-7 from deep in Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets. But McCollum and
Zion Williamson will take the night off to rest.
Bruce Brown is off the injury report, so he could move into the starting lineup.
Jose Alvarado (hip), who is questionable after totaling 17 points and seven assists on Saturday, may also find himself with the first five.

CJ McCollum (rest) has been ruled out for the Friday night rematch against the Phoenix Suns while he receives a rest day. This is the back half of a back-to-back, and the Pelicans are fresh off of a win over the Suns on Thursday where McCollum posted 19 points, four rebounds, and two assists. On Friday,
Jordan Hawkins and
Jose Alvarado should both see a boost in minutes while McCollum and
Zion Williamson (injury management) are both sidelined this time around. Hawkins finished with 10 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two blocks on Thursday while Alvarado had 14 points, five assists, and three steals.

CJ McCollum (personal) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings. He may be out for a second consecutive game after missing Monday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder for personal reasons.
Karlo Matkovic joined the starting lineup against OKC, finishing with eight points, nine rebounds, and three blocks.
Jordan Hawkins saw an uptick in minutes off the bench and produced 12 points with 50 percent shooting from downtown. However, the rotation may look different on Wednesday, as
Bruce Brown will be eligible to make his Pelicans debut.

CJ McCollum (personal) will miss Monday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After putting up 30-plus points twice over the past three games, McCollum needs to skip Monday's action for personal reasons. Three-point sniper
Jordan Hawkins may get an opportunity to impress in the first unit with McCollum unavailable. Hawkins has averaged 20.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in his previous five starts this season. McCollum's absence also opens up additional scoring opportunities for the rest of the starters.
