Sun Mar 1022:49Damian Lillard Close To Recording A Triple-Double On Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard came close to collecting a triple-double against the Clippers on Sunday. He had 11 assists, grabbed seven rebounds, and scored 35 points. Lillard has been on top of the game lately offensively, registering at least four assists and 16 points in each of his last five games for the Bucks. The 33-year-old superstar continues to be an elite player, and he is a must-start anytime he is on the court.

Fri Mar 821:54Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard Cleared For Friday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) and guard Damian Lillard (rib) are available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. As expected, both players have been cleared after looking fine during their pregame routine. Neither player should be restricted or limited at all during this game. Malik Beasley, Jae Crowder, and Brook Lopez should join them in the starting five. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get both players into their lineups on Friday.

Fri Mar 821:06Damian Lillard Likely To Play On Friday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (rib) is expected to suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar guard was listed as questionable coming into this game but appears to be trending in the right direction. It sounds like the organization plans to have Lillard go through his pregame warmup before making a final decision. If he sits, Patrick Beverley is expected to see an expanded role. Beverley would be an interesting streaming option if he moves into the starting five. Fantasy managers will have to check back ahead of tip-off for the final update on his status.

Fri Mar 817:18Damian Lillard Now Questionable For Friday Night
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (elbow) is questionable for Friday's showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers. The former Trail Blazer had 20 points and six assists on Wednesday night versus Golden State. But he's apparently now dealing with a right rib contusion, although details surrounding the injury are currently vague. The Bucks and the Lakers play late on Friday evening, so fantasy managers will take a chance by putting Lillard in their lineups. If he does get ruled out, Patrick Beverley would likely see a significant uptick in fantasy production. Additionally, Lillard's potential absence could mean more ball-handling work for Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles), assuming he plays, potentially resulting in a bump in usage.

Sun Feb 1822:58Damian Lillard Named All-Star Game MVP
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard protected his three-point contest crown on Saturday's festivities, and followed it up with an MVP performance in the All-Star Game on Sunday. In the 211-186 victory for the East, the veteran point guard finished with 39 points, six assists, three rebounds, and one steal while shooting 14-for-26 from the floor and 11-for-23 from deep. As usual, there wasn't much defense being played in this game, but Lillard broke out of his shooting slump in a big way. Hopefully, this carries over into the final stretch of the season since the Bucks have gone 3-7 since Doc Rivers took over the team.

Thu Feb 1519:56Damian Lillard To Suit Up On Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is good to go on Thursday night in Memphis. Lillard has been bothered by a left ankle injury over the last few weeks. However, he only missed a few games and has been available for the team's previous three contests. The multi-time All-Star has seen a dip on the scoring end this season. Yet, Lillard remains a top fantasy option in any format, and he could be in for a big night versus a Memphis team with 10 players listed on the injury report.

Thu Feb 1500:20Damian Lillard Likely To Suit Up On Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is expected to play on Thursday versus Memphis. The former Trail Blazer continues to deal with an ankle injury, an issue that's bothered him for at least a few weeks. However, he hasn't missed much time because of it, and Thursday night shouldn't be any different. Lillard is averaging 24.6 points this year, a considerable drop from last season. But he's still playing at an All-Star level, so fantasy managers will take what they can get as long as he stays healthy enough to play.

Sun Feb 1123:58Damian Lillard Probable To Face Nuggets On Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is expected to suit up on Monday after receiving a probable status for their game against the Denver Nuggets. The star point guard returned from a two-game absence on Friday to the tune of 26 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and three steals across 29 minutes. He'll remain cemented in fantasy lineups as long as he's healthy enough to be on the court. So far, in his first season with the Bucks, Lillard is averaging 25.0 points, 6.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 42.7% from the floor. Some of his numbers have taken a hit, but he's been growing more comfortable playing alongside another superstar talent.

Thu Feb 819:28Damian Lillard Won't Play On Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar guard will miss his second game in a row due to a left ankle sprain. His absence is going to leave the team extremely shorthanded at the guard spot on Thursday. Pat Connaughton should remain in the starting five and is worth a look as a streaming option. Andre Jackson Jr. should see more minutes off the bench which should give him increased value as well.

Tue Feb 620:17Damian Lillard Ruled Out On Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) won't play on Tuesday evening in Phoenix. Lillard is dealing with a left ankle sprain. He was listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's meeting with Utah but ended up playing. However, the 33-year-old struggled, scoring 12 points and shooting 5-for-18 from the field and 1-for-8 from deep. Hopefully, a night off will do the former Trail Blazer some good and enable him to get back on the floor for Thursday's showdown with the Minnesota Timberwolves. But in the meantime, Cameron Payne, averaging 10.5 points in two starts this year, will likely take over for Lillard in the lineup. Of course, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton active, both men should handle most of the work on the scoring end.

Mon Feb 520:14Damian Lillard Questionable For Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar guard was also tagged as questionable before Sunday's game. He ended up suiting up for that game and played 38 minutes in the loss. If he sits, Cameron Payne figures to be the obvious choice to move into the starting five. Payne would be worth a look as a streaming option if given an extended role.

Sun Feb 419:58Damian Lillard Available Versus Jazz
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) will play against the Utah Jazz on Sunday. The superstar guard was listed as questionable coming into this game. Despite that, Lillard will suit up for the second night of this back-to-back set. He'll start alongside Malik Beasley, Jae Crowder, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Bobby Portis on Sunday. Lillard could be asked to do a little more on offense with Khris Middleton (rest) sitting out.

Wed Jan 1018:58Bucks Say Damian Lillard Will Play Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin told reporters that Damian Lillard (personal) practiced on Wednesday. "Dame was back, in good spirits and able to practice. He'll be available", Griffin said in reference to Lillard's availability for Thursday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. Lillard was absent from Monday's home loss to the Utah Jazz for personal reasons, but he is back with the team and will keep his absence to a one-game minimum. The 33-year-old seven-time All-Star's numbers have taken a predictable dip around plenty of stars during his first year in Milwaukee, but he is still returning second-round fantasy value while putting up 25.1 points, 6.9 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals per game with 91.6% free-throw shooting. Return Lillard to all season-long lineups for Thursday's battle between two Eastern Conference juggernauts.

Sun Jan 723:18Damian Lillard Out On Monday For Personal Reasons
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (personal) has been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Utah Jazz for personal reasons. It's unclear what the "personal reasons" are that will keep Lillard out of the game, but it seems like this should be a short absence if it ends up being more than one game. This will only be Lillard's third missed game of the season and his first one since November 11. So far this season, the superstar point guard is still getting accustomed to playing with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks which can be seen by his lower field goal percentage and scoring numbers. In this contest, however, since Cameron Payne is already ruled out as well, Pat Connaughton and Andre Jackson Jr. will see some more minutes while Khris Middleton will likely see heavy minutes.

Wed Nov 22 202309:42Damian Lillard Considered Probable For Meeting With Celtics
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (oblique) is considered probable for Wednesday's big matchup against Boston. Lillard is dealing with an oblique strain, but he's played in five consecutive contests and appears ready to go on Wednesday. The star point guard has had a bumpy ride in Milwaukee, but he's finally found some consistency in the most recent games, posting two double-doubles in four outings and averaging 28.3 points and 9.3 assists during the stretch. With Jrue Holiday coming up against him, this won't be an easy matchup for Lillard, but he should relish the opportunity to prove that the Bucks did the right thing by moving Holiday on and bringing him in.

Thu Nov 16 202309:51Damian Lillard Drops 37 Points On Toronto
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard was a bad man against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, posting a big double-double with 37 points and 13 assists. He shot 9-for-18 from the field with a 4-for-10 record from deep and did a great job getting to the free-throw line, hitting 15-for-16 at the charity stripe. In 31 minutes of action, Lillard also contributed two steals. The seven-time All-Star has been fairly inconsistent with his work in 2023-24, but he had all the keys to the offense on Wednesday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) missing the game, and the Raptors didn't know what to do with Lillard. Friday's meeting with the Hornets, who are ranked 30th in defensive efficiency, promises another big line for Lillard. Although it's the start of a back-to-back, and Lillard has just returned from injury, meaning he might not be used fully.

Mon Nov 13 202318:39Damian Lillard Is Expected To Play On Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) has missed the team's last two games due to what the team is calling right-calf injury management, but head coach Adrian Griffin said Lillard is expected to return on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar guard has put up some big scoring numbers since joining the team, but his efficiency hasn't been anything to write home about yet. The Bucks will look to end a two-game losing streak, while Cameron Payne will move back to the bench. Pat Connaughton and Malik Beasley will probably take a hit in terms of fantasy value with Lillard's return as well.

Sun Nov 12 202322:24Damian Lillard Probable Against Chicago
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) is expected to return for Monday's game against the Bulls. The former Blazer missed the last two games because of a calf strain, allowing Cameron Payne to enter the starting lineup. It's hard to say if Lillard will see a cap on his minutes, assuming he gets the green light. However, he'll at least be on the floor enough to force Payne to lose his streaming value.

Sat Nov 11 202317:21Damian Lillard Out Again On Saturday Night
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) won't play on Saturday night in Orlando. The former Blazers' lingering calf soreness kept him out of the lineup for Thursday's loss to the Indiana Pacers, opening the door for Cameron Payne to enter the starting lineup. Payne finished with seven points, five assists, four boards, and a block in 30 minutes, so he could prove helpful for those needing a streaming option. Of course, without Dame on the floor, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 54 points versus Indiana, could continue to see a significant uptick in production.

Fri Nov 10 202320:31Damian Lillard Questionable Against The Magic
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) may miss Saturday's game in Orlando. The 33-year-old didn't play in Thursday's loss to the Indiana Pacers because of a calf strain. As a result, Cameron Payne entered the starting lineup, finishing with seven points, five assists, four boards, and one block. If Lillard sits again, Payne is worth streaming in 12-team leagues and up. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 54 points on Thursday night, and Khris Middleton would remain the top producers offensively.
