Damian Lillard tweaked shoulder Tuesday in Trail Blazers' loss
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard acknowledged that he tweaked his left shoulder during Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Lillard suffered the injury late in the first quarter, but he played through it and finished with 34 points in nearly 40 minutes. It was the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's not clear if the shoulder issue will force Lillard to sit out Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Dame finished with 36.4 FanDuel points on Tuesday. numberFire's models currently expect him to play and score 42.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $9,700 versus the Grizzlies.
