Damian Lillard (calf) has been ruled out for the third consecutive game due to a sore right calf. The Bucks aren't going to risk Lillard's health if they don't have to with the playoffs coming in just a few weeks. The timing of this extended absence couldn't come at a worse time for fantasy managers though.
Ryan Rollins has moved into the starting five but has had a limited fantasy ceiling in both points and category leagues. Two names to look for streaming-wise have been
Gary Trent Jr. (probable - back) and
Kevin Porter Jr. Both saw more minutes than Rollins despite coming off of the bench, while Porter registered 18 points, six assists, and three rebounds in their last game on Saturday.

Damian Lillard (groin) is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers, as the team lists him as probable on the injury report. A sore groin has not prevented Lillard from being in the lineup throughout the month, and he is likely to play through the injury again on Thursday. Lillard has been experiencing a small scoring slump recently, finishing back-to-back games with fewer than 20 points. This season, he has had only one three-game streak of scoring under 20 points.

Damian Lillard (groin) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, Lillard will shake off the probable tag and play through his groin soreness. Lillard has played in 12 straight games, so it's going to take more than a minor injury to hold him out of action. The 34-year-old has been one of the best guards in terms of fantasy value this season. He's averaging 25.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 7.1 assists across 36 minutes this season. Fantasy managers can make sure to get him active in their lineups.

Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's clash against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran star is battling a groin issue. However, Lillard has not missed any of the last 12 games, so he will likely be back out on the court Tuesday night. After collecting three consecutive double-doubles, Lillard had a tough outing in Sunday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 19 points and two assists. He was fire in this season's first meeting with the Warriors, tallying 38 points in a 125-111 loss on Feb. 10.
