Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Salary: $9,300

If you were sweating out tournament finishes last night, you either love or hate Damian Lillard today, because his 64.5 DraftKings point performance against the Utah Jazz was a GPP-changer. He has a chance to be the late-night hammer once again, as he gets a much easier matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lillard's price has spiked over $1,000 in anticipation of this uptempo matchup, and he now needs 46.5 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary-implied value. He has scored at least 46 DraftKings points in each of his past three games, a stretch during which he has posted an absurd 34.9% usage rate. His usage rate is up to 30.7% on the year, which ranks seventh among qualified players. His recent spike in volume makes him a very tough fade on a two-game slate, especially in a great spot against Los Angeles.
