Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,500

Damian Lillard has been on a tear lately, and there's no reason to think he won't be able to keep that up against a Nets team that has been terrible on the defensive end.

Over the past month, Lillard ranks seventh in the NBA with 44.9 FanDuel points per game and is averaging 27.4 points, 8.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, while sporting a 31.6 percent Usage Rate.

Brooklyn is 27th in the league this season with a 109.0 Defensive Efficiency and have been especially bad on the perimeter. They're giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards while also allowing the second highest Effective Field Goal Percentage, the fifth-most assists per game, and the third-most steals per game in the league.

Lillard has put up 50-plus fantasy points in three of his last six games (including a huge 73.5 points against Golden State) and has elite upside with such a soft matchup tonight.
