Portland's Damian Lillard (knee) will play Sunday versus Toronto
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Lillard missed Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, but fortunately wasn't needed as the Blazers secured the win. Recently-acquired guard Norman Powell will reportedly remain in the starting lineup, meaning Derrick Jones Jr. will move to the bench tonight against the Raptors.
Our models project Lillard, who has a $9,100 salary on FanDuel, for 46 fantasy points against the Raptors tonight, with 29.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.2 assists. Lillard is on pace for a career year in points per game, averaging 30 per game so far in 2020 and is attempting a career-high 11.2 three-pointers per game this season.
