Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,200

The Wizards/Trail Blazers game tonight is going to be a great one to target for daily fantasy purposes. It should be a close game, with oddsmakers setting the spread at 5.5, and it has the highest over/under of the night at 213.5. They are both in the bottom half of the league in Defensive Efficiency, and the two teams have the highest average Pace of any game tonight.

Damian Lillard is a guy who is hard to fade right now, regardless of matchup. In the most promising fantasy game of the slate, though? He's an incredible play.

Over the last month, Lillard has posted an absurd 35.8 percent Usage Rate. He's also third in the league in that span with 32.7 points, while also posting 5.1 assists and 3.7 assists, good for 44.4 FanDuel points per game.

Our numbers have Lillard projected to be the fourth-highest fantasy scorer of the night, but the way this matchup sets him up, he easily has the potential to put up the top score.
