Damian Lillard lights up with 31 points, 8 boards, 11 dimes for Trail Blazers
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (right knee) scored 31 points (8-of-23 field goals, 3-of-9 3-pointers, 12-of-13 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 block, and 2 turnovers in 37.5 minutes of a 126-117 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
Lillard was only averaging 18.8 points in the four previous games, so this was a welcome outing. The boards also match a season-high. He was dealing with a minor knee issue heading into the contest but should be fine for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Dame yielded 58.1 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He's averaging 43.0 FanDuel points through 14 games.
