Damian Lillard (hamstring) officially cleared Wednesday for Trail Blazers
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Lillard was already expected to return from his three-game absence and this confirms that report. There hasn't been any indication that Lillard will be on a minutes limit against the Nuggets and Derrick Jones Jr. (hip, probable) 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 42.3 FanDuel points versus the Nuggets and he has a salary of $8,400 on Wednesday.
