Damian Lillard (ankle) probable for Portland Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (right ankle sprain) is listed as probable for Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Lillard is shooting just 40.6 percent and averaging 20.0 points over the last two games, so perhaps the ankle is playing a role. He will have an opportunity to get right Wednesday in a matchup with an extremely forgiving Kings defense.
numberFire’s models project Dame for 46.1 FanDuel points versus the Kings and he has a salary of $9,200 on Wednesday’s slate. The Kings are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing guards this season. Lillard's ownership also may be lower Wednesday as he's failed to reach 35 FanDuel points in consecutive games. Furthermore, the game carries a 236.0-point over/under on our NBA Heat Map, which is 9.5 points beyond every other matchup on the slate.
