Bryce McGowens accounted for 18 points (6-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.With Dejounte Murray (Achilles) sitting out the first game of New Orleans' weekend back-to-back, McGowens was inserted into the starting lineup on Saturday. And he was productive, shooting 4-of-10 from beyond the arc. The 18 points were the most in a game for McGowens since January 7, when he dropped 20 in a loss to the Hawks. Even if Murray is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, McGowens may remain a starter, as Zion Williamson left Saturday's victory during the first half with a sprained ankle.
