Sat Jan 1119:07Damian Lillard Listed As Probable For Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks. The star guard has been dealing with a calf contusion for a bit, but the injury hasn't significantly impacted Lillard, who has notched 25 or more points in all three outings this week. Lillard has shot close to 43 percent from deep since the turn of the year and should relish MSG's unique atmosphere on Sunday. However, a potential setback for Lillard would open up an opportunity for AJ Green and Ryan Rollins to take on more prominent roles in the rotation.

He finished Thursday's 111-105 loss to Brooklyn with seven points, four rebounds, three assists, one block, and two steals.

With Lillard out on Friday night, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end. But Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, and Taurean Prince could see a substantial increase in scoring opportunities.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (calf) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's NBA Cup final against Oklahoma City. The veteran star didn't practice on Monday, leaving a question mark hanging over him, but it looks like he will be good to go for the big game.

He will enter Monday's action with averages of 25.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.2 steals for the month. The Thunder are among the top defensive teams in the league and allow the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing point guards.

Mon Nov 18 202418:34Damian Lillard Returning On Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (concussion) has been cleared to suit up for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. Lillard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last three games while in the league's concussion protocol. His return will push Delon Wright back to the bench where he won't have ideal streaming value. The expectation is that Lillard will see his full workload during his first game back. Fantasy managers should feel safe about getting Lillard back in their fantasy lineups ahead of tip-off. Lillard is averaging 26 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists in 35 minutes per game. He has been one of the best guards in the league this season.

Sun Nov 17 202419:32Damian Lillard Should Return On Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (concussion) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. It looks like Lillard is on the verge of returning after missing each of the last three games while in concussion protocol. Delon Wright has been starting with Lillard out, but he hasn't done much with the increased playing time. He's a solid defensive player, but doesn't bring much to the table on offense. That being said, Wright won't be worth streaming once Lillard returns to the court. Fantasy managers should check back before tip-off, but Lillard should be good to go for Monday.

Sat Nov 16 202403:27Damian Lillard Sidelined Again On Saturday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (concussion) won't play on Saturday afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets. The multi-time All-Star will miss his third-straight contest, so his next chance to return to the floor will be on Monday against the Houston Rockets. Without question, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), coming off a 59-point performance in Wednesday's overtime win over the Detroit Pistons, should continue to see more scoring chances. The same can be said for Taurean Prince, who had 15 points in that one. On the other hand, Delon Wright, who started on Wednesday night but finished without a point, can be left out of any fantasy lineup until he proves he's capable of taking advantage of his expanded workload.

Mon Nov 11 202421:34Damian Lillard In Concussion Protocol, Out Tuesday Against Raptors
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard is in concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Lillard has yet to miss a game this season and his presence will be missed in Milwaukee's first in-season tournament game. The 34-year-old is averaging 26.0 PPG and 6.6 APG for the struggling Bucks. With Lillard out, expect Ryan Rollins or Delon Wright to get more minutes. Wright had been getting bench minutes to start the season but had gotten demoted over the last three games where Rollins has taken over. Rollins has yet to start a game in his three-year NBA career. With volatility at the point guard role, fantasy managers and DFS players should instead expect Giannis Antetokounmpo to produce more, especially from an assists perspective.

Mon Aug 19 202409:07Damian Lillard Confident Of Big Bounce-Back Campaign
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard struggled by his standards in his debut campaign with the team but is confident that he can regain the form he previously had playing in Portland. "I'm not a player that's breaking down," Lillard told Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I live a clean, good, healthy life so I can do it. I can do the same (expletive) I did two, three years ago. I can do it right now." Lillard's rebounding and assists remained around the same level he had with the Trail Blazers, but his scoring numbers nose-dived in 2023-24 due to poor shooting efficiency. If Lillard can boost his shooting numbers back up to his career average levels in the upcoming campaign, he should become a regular 30-point scorer again.

Thu May 2 202421:30Damian Lillard Plays Well In Return
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (Achilles) was back in the lineup for Thursday's playoff meeting with Indiana after missing a few contests with an Achilles injury. He played well, scoring a game-high 28 points while shooting 7-for-16 from the field and 4-for-12 from deep. Unfortunately, Lillard's return didn't help, as the Pacers got the win to eliminate the Bucks from the postseason. Lillard has been one of the league's most potent scorers for years. However, the 33-year-old took a step backward in his first season with the Bucks, averaging 24.3 points, nearly eight fewer than he had in his final season in Portland. On a positive note, he logged 73 games during the regular season, his most since 2017-18. But it appears Lillard is starting to regress statistically, so his fantasy ranking for next season won't be as favorable.
