Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,300

Damian Lillard has been playing the best basketball of his season, and maybe even his career, during the past month. In February, he averaged 29.8 points, 6.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game while posting a huge 33.6 percent Usage Rate. He put up 45.1 FanDuel points per game, a full 5 points higher than he's averaged in any other month this season.

He's against the New York Knicks tonight, who are allowing above-average fantasy scoring to point guards, and rank 20th in Defensive Efficiency. He'll likely start the game with a very favorable matchup, being guarded by Jose Calderon, who is very poor defensively, sporting a 110 Defensive Rating on the year and having only posted a better number than that once in the last eight seasons.

Our numbers also expect Lillard to be in for a big night tonight, projecting him for 25.2 points, 7.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and the second highest fantasy score of the night at 40.64.
