Modest production in team debut
McCollum amassed 12 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.
Analysis
McCollum made his Hawks debut Sunday after being acquired Wednesday in the deal that sent Trae Young to the Wizards. McCollum logged 24 minutes off the bench and finished as one of six Atlanta players to score in double figures, though he failed to connect from three-point range. After averaging 18.8 points, 3.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 30.9 minutes across 35 starts this season with the Wizards, the veteran's role and usage with his new team will be worth monitoring going forward.

Off injury report for Sunday
McCollum (not with team) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis

Traded to Atlanta
The Wizards traded McCollum (quadriceps) and Corey Kispert (hamstring) to the Hawks on Wednesday in exchange for Trae Young (quadriceps), Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
McCollum was acquired by the Wizards in the offseason in a trade with the Pelicans in June, and the veteran guard will end up being on his third team in less than a year. McCollum started in each of his 35 appearances with Washington this season, but it's unclear whether whether he'll retain that role in Atlanta, as he would have to displace Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker or Zaccharie Risacher from the Hawks' starting five. McCollum is averaging 18.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.7 threes over 30.9 minutes per game this season.

Sitting out Wednesday
McCollum won't play Wednesday against the 76ers due to right quadriceps soreness.
Analysis
This is almost certainly a maintenance day for McCollum for the second leg of this back-to-back set. McCollum posted 27 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during the Wizards' 120-112 win over the Magic on Tuesday, but now the franchise will likely give Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson extended run Wednesday.

Strong fourth quarter in win
McCollum tallied 27 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during the Wizards' 120-112 win over the Magic on Tuesday.
Analysis
McCollum led all scorers during Tuesday's win, with 10 of his 27 points coming in the fourth quarter to help stave off the Magic's late comeback attempt. It's the second game in a row where the 2013 first-rounder has scored at least 20 points, and over his last five outings he has averaged 19.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.4 threes over 30.4 minutes per game.
