Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard (groin) targeting Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (right groin) is targeting a return on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards, reports Shams Charania of Stadium.
What It Means:
Lillard will miss a sixth consecutive game on Monday versus the Orlando Magic. Gary Trent Jr. will likely return to a role off the bench once Lillard is cleared. C.J. McCollum and Carmelo Anthony also won't be asked to do as much on offense.
Lillard is averaging 47.6 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him for 25.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 3.0 3-pointers over the rest of the season.
