Damian Lillard Will Be Re-Evaluated In 1-2 Weeks
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) is now set to miss at least one to two weeks. The calf strain that he suffered during Wednesday's loss to Miami didn't sound too severe at the time. Now the report is that he needs to be re-evaluated after missing some time. In the meantime, Shaedon Sharpe, Anfernee Simons and Josh Hart should all see more minutes and opportunities. Lillard said himself that he would have kept playing if it was a playoff game, so that's encouraging news that he shouldn't be out too long.

Damian Lillard Won't Play On Monday Against Suns
1 week agoMilwaukee Bucks guard 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 Will Play On Tuesday
2 weeks agoMilwaukee Bucks guard 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 Probable For Tuesday's Game Against Warriors
2 weeks agoMilwaukee Bucks point guard 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.
