The Blazers duo of CJ McCollum (11.7) and Damian Lillard (11.2) rank second and third, respectively, in points per game on pull-up jumpers. Jayson Tatum leads Boston at sixth overall (9.6 ppg), but the Celtics have three other players ranked in the top 30 – Kemba Walker (7.6), Jaylen Brown (6.3) and Evan Fournier (6.3).

• Carmelo Anthony ranks 10th in scoring among eligible bench players, averaging 12.9 points per game in 24.4 minutes off the Blazers’ bench this season.

With 19 games remaining on Portland’s schedule, Anthony would need to average 9.8 points over those 19 games to make that move into the top 10. At his current scoring rate off the bench, Anthony would need 15 games to pass Hayes.
