Damian Lillard flirts with triple-double as Blazers lose to Wizards
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard scored 30 points on 10-for-23 shooting Tuesday, to go with 8 rebounds and 9 assists in a 106-92 loss to the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Even though the Blazers' starters played well, the Portland bench was out-classed by the Wizards' second unit, which was one of the biggest reasons for the loss. Still, Lillard has been red-hot over the last few weeks, scoring at least 29 points in six of his last seven games. After three full days off, the Blazers are back in action Saturday against the Houston Rockets.
Our early models for Saturday project Lillard for 44.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $9,100.
