Damian Lillard scores 30 with 15 dimes, Portland powers past Pacers
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard scored 30 points (9-of-16 field goals, 8-of-9 free throws) with 2 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 4 3-pointers, and 6 turnovers in 40.2 minutes of a 106-98 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday.
What It Means:
Lillard turned in 18 points and 8 dimes before halftime and finished an assist short of his career-high. He's scored 30-plus in back-to-back games and should continue to dominate usage on offense while C.J. McCollum (knee) is sidelined. The Trail Blazers host the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.
Dame scored 60.9 FanDuel points in the win. He's averaging 43.7 FanDuel points through 69 games this season.
