Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Salary: $9,400

Damian Lillard predictably struggled in a tough matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies his last time out, but was scorching hot heading into that game. He averaged 58.8 DraftKings points through the first three games of November and scored at least 30 actual points in each.

While his 26.75-DraftKings-point performance was certainly disappointing, it was at least encouraging to see him take 16 shots. He remained highly aggressive even when his shot wasn't there, which bodes well for tonight's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.

Brooklyn has played at the league's quickest pace and ranks 22nd in defensive efficiency. As a result, Portland boasts a slate-leading implied team total of 115.25 points, along with this game owning the second-highest over/under on the slate. With Russell Westbrook struggling recently and Giannis Antetokounmpo in a tough spot against the Utah Jazz, Lillard has as good of a chance as anyone to lead the slate in DraftKings points, and he comes at a decent discount to those two. He is a strong play in all formats.
