Portland's Damian Lillard (abdominal) expected to be listed as probable for Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers Damian Lillard (abdominal) is expected to be listed as probable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Thankfully, Lillard appears to have avoided a long-term abdominal issue and is trending in the right direction to return on Saturday. If he is available, our models expect him to play 36.4 minutes against the Knicks. His return, along with the potential return of Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) should result in less playing time for Carmelo Anthony and Rodney Hood.
Lillard's Saturday projection includes 27.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 42.3 FanDuel points. His salary is $10,200.
