What It Means:

Lillard only played 17 minutes before leaving Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He believes the pain is the result of something he ate. C.J. McCollum would see a significant boost in value if Lillard can't go.

Lillard is the 41st-best player, according to our metrics, recording a 3.9 nERD. Taking on more responsibility in the offense has led to a career-high in scoring (24.3), but a career-worst in field goal percentage (41.9). He remains strong from the outside, making 2.8 treys a game at a 35.7 percent clip.
