Player Stats

Damian Lillard accounted for 22 points (5-of-13 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), four assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Lakers.

Lillard led the team in points on Friday, but the production was lacking outside of points and three-pointers. In the four games Portland has played since losing Ja Morant to a strained hamstring, Lillard has totaled 19 assists and 12 turnovers. He has scored at least 20 points in each of those contests, which is the main reason Lillard has provided fifth-round value over the last week.

Damian Lillard finished Saturday’s loss to the Spurs with 12 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven assists and two three-pointers.

Lillard’s streak of games with at least 20 points ended at four on Saturday, with the veteran point guard also attempting a season-low eight shots from the field. Lillard shot a solid percentage from the field, but many expected more, especially with Ja Morant (hamstring) sidelined. The good news is that Lillard played both games of Portland’s back-to-back. Saturday’s game was a blowout, so he played only 20 minutes.

Damian Lillard (Achilles) is available for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Lillard, who missed all of last season recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, is available for the second game of Portland’s back-to-back, which is great news for fantasy managers. He played 37 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, so the question now is how much Lillard will play against the Spurs. Fantasy managers should anticipate a slight decrease in minutes, but not to the level where he shouldn’t be in active lineups.

Damian Lillard had 25 points (9-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in the Trail Blazers’ 132-119 victory over the Suns on Wednesday.

Lillard has now scored 25 points and had at least five assists in both of his matchups against the Suns so far this season. The 36-year-old point guard played 32 minutes and was +16 in the 13-point win. Portland begins a back-to-back against the Lakers and Spurs Friday in Los Angeles.

Damian Lillard amassed 22 points (6-of-17 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Jazz.

The 22 points are the most Lillard has scored in a game since Portland’s opener against the Suns, when he tallied 25. He didn’t shoot particularly well, but Dame led the Trail Blazers in assists and recorded a complete stat line. With Portland winning comfortably, Lillard played only 27 minutes on Saturday.

Damian Lillard struggled on Thursday and finished with just nine points (3-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer against the Grizzlies.

Lillard has been excellent for a 36-year-old coming off a torn Achilles, but he struggled in this one. This was just Portland’s first loss of the season, and Lillard should get back to producing how he was previously. He isn’t the player he once was, but Lillard will continue to be a productive player, mostly as a reliable source of three-pointers and assists.

Damian Lillard tallied 21 points (5-of-12 FGs, 7-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers.

After comfortable wins over the Suns and Kings, we got our first “Dame Time” moment of the 2026-27 season on Tuesday. Lillard’s three-pointer with 43.1 seconds remaining extended Portland’s lead to six, essentially ending the game. He scored 10 of his 21 points in the final quarter, and he and Deni Avdija accounted for 19 of the Blazers’ 34 points in the frame. It’s still early in the season, but so far Portland’s perimeter rotation hasn’t hurt Lillard’s fantasy value.

Damian Lillard with 19 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals, a block and two 3-pointers in Blazers win over the Kings.

It wasn’t the most efficient night for Damian Lillard, but he still gave you a good game. As he’s coming back from his Achilles injury, he will have some nights where he is not very efficient, especially early on the season. We weren’t drafting Damian Lillard as high as we have been, so there isn’t much to complain about when there’s the occasional inefficient night.

Damian Lillard produced 25 points (7-of-12 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and six three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Suns.

Lillard and the Trail Blazers could not have hoped for a better opener, as Portland scored the first 17 points and never looked back. In his first appearance in a Trail Blazers uniform since March 22, 2023, Lillard shot 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. With Portland winning in a rout, the veteran guard played just 24 minutes and saw no action in the fourth quarter. For fantasy managers who may have harbored any questions about Lillard’s potential this season, Wednesday night was a good start.

Trail Blazers will start Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara and Donovan Clingan against the Suns on Wednesday.

Lillard will be back on the floor for the first time in over a year after missing all of last season with an Achilles injury. He’ll also be back in a Trail Blazers uniform for the first time since the 2022-23 season. Lillard will start alongside Morant, Avdija, Camara and Clingan.
Ja Morant

POR Guard #1

NBA Insider Chris B. Haynes reports that Ja Morant will start alongside Damian Lillard in Portland’s backcourt to open the 2026-27 season.

Conflicting offseason reports noted that Morant could come off the bench, but the Blazers will play the pair of superstar guards together in Wednesday’s season opener against the Suns. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to this pairing and keep in mind that Portland may experiment with different lineups throughout the season.
