Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard got off to a rough start against Orlando on Sunday, but still ended up crushing it in a 122-119 victory, leading all scorers with 41 points. Dame had only 14 points in the first half and bricked all of his six attempts from deep, but he had a 4-for-16 record from downtown in the end and notched himself another 40-point outing with 10-for-25 overall shooting from the field and a 17-for-20 effort at the line. It was an inefficient shooting performance from Lillard, but he made up for it with nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block. Portland's superstar continues to be in beast mode and is averaging 42.4 points since the All-Star break. Anfernee Simons (ankle) has been unavailable for five of the last six games, which puts the ball even more in Lillard's hands and something very special could be coming up from him again Monday against the Pistons, who are among the NBA's worst defensive teams.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard cooled off a little bit on Tuesday night while suffering an 18-point loss to the Golden State Warriors. The superstar out of Weber State finished the game with 25 points, three rebounds, seven assists, and three steals while shooting just 9-for-21 and 2-for-7 from beyond the arc. Since the turn of the new year, Lillard has averaged 36.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game which has put him inside of the top ten for nine-category value. This game seems more of a one-off right now rather than a sign for what's to come.

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard made history in Sunday's matchup against the Rockets, becoming the eighth player in NBA history to score 70-plus points in a single game. He finished a 131-114 victory with 71 points on 22-for-38 shooting. The Portland superstar became the oldest player to achieve the feat and the first aged 30 or older. Lillard had 41 points with eight made three-pointers already by halftime and ended up shooting 13-for-22 from deep. Another make from outside would have put him tied for the most three-pointers made in a game. Lillard, whose previous scoring record stood at 61 points, added six rebounds and six assists in 39 minutes. The 32-year-old now has five career 60-point games, which puts him behind only Wilt Chamberlain (32) and Kobe Bryant (6) in NBA history.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard and forward Jerami Grant will sit out of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Both players will sit out the first game out of the All-Star break due to rest purposes. This is an interesting move by the Blazers after the players already received multiple rest days during the break. Regardless, Cam Reddish, Shaedon Sharpe and Matisse Thybulle will all see increased roles with the Blazers shorthanded on Thursday. All three of these players are worth streaming, but Sharpe has the highest ceiling between the three of them.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The superstar guard has been cleared to play despite dealing with a minor ankle issue. Anfernee Simons will go back to playing his normal role, but has played extremely well when Lillard has been out this season. Shaedon Sharpe and Keon Johnson should continue to play minor roles off the bench, but aren't worth streaming in most formats. Fantasy managers should double check that Lillard is in their lineups for Thursday's slate.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The superstar guard has been playing big minutes lately, so he could use a day off. That being said, his absence would leave a big hole in the rotation. Anfernee Simons would likely be asked to move into the starting five, while Gary Payton II, Shaedon Sharpe and Keon Johnson would see more minutes as well. Simons would be a popular DFS option, so fantasy managers should check back on Thursday to see if Lillard is able to play.

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard regained his scoring form in Sunday's matchup against Toronto, notching a game-high 34 points in a 117-105 loss.

Portland's superstar has struggled for consistency lately, but a run of 10 home games in 11 outings should help him to find his rhythm. It starts on Tuesday with a matchup against the Magic, who give up the ninth-most points to opposing point guards this season.

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard tied his own franchise record with 11 made three-pointers in Monday's 133-112 victory over the Timberwolves.

Lillard has started a red-hot scoring stretch, averaging 38 points per game across his last three outings. He's missed 15 games this season with health issues, so it's understandable that Lillard is trying to make up for lost time.

His return has had a bad effect on Anfernee Simons, although he was also able to enjoy Saturday's win with a 31-point performance. Hopefully, this wasn't a one-off thing.
