We think of DeMar DeRozan as an isolation player. However, he has run the 9th most picks and rolls of any player in the NBA this year
Of top 60 players who run pick and roll DeRozan is 4th best in the NBA only Doncic, Durant and Curry are better

Gregg Popovich once said that players appreciate a night off for problem games on the schedule.
The Pelicans’ odds against the Mavericks weren’t great to start with, so sitting CJ McCollum, Larry Nance Jr. and maybe Jonas Valanciunas is the right move. https://t.co/quOfTf7MYj pic.twitter.com/ZUXeik4lbK – 2:51 PM
Jonas Valančiūnas (Right Hand Sprain) is questionable ; CJ McCollum (rest) is out for tonight’s game at Dallas
