Damian Lillard: Explodes for 39 points Sunday

Lillard has played excellent basketball since the end of the All-Star break —
coinciding with the addition of Jusuf Nurkic before the trade deadline —
averaging 28.3 points on 46.7 percent shooting and 36.7 percent from three, 6.8
assists, and 5.1 rebounds across 37.0 minutes per game heading into Sunday’s
matchup. With Nurkic playing a high-usage facilitator role for the team, Lillard
is often free to use his quickness off-ball — coming off screens and maximizing
his ability as a catch-and-shoot player while still taking on a solid amount of
ballhandling duties. Lillard’s fantasy value is as high as ever, and he remains
a must-own player in seemingly every fantasy format.
