Damian Lillard (hamstring) reportedly expects to play for Trail Blazers Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) plans to return Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets, reports Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
What It Means:
Lillard has missed the past three games due to hamstring tendinopathy, including the front end of a back-to-back on Tuesday. There hasn't been any indication that Lillard will be on a minutes limit against the Nuggets and Derrick Jones Jr. will likely shift back to a bench role. Lillard's return should also impact usage rates for C.J. McCollum and Norman Powell.
numberFire’s models project Lillard for 46.9 FanDuel points versus the Nuggets and he has a salary of $8,400 on Wednesday.
