• Bucks' Damian Lillard: Pops for 31 against Charlotte

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard ended Saturday's 125-119 victory over the Hornets with 31 points (9-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes. The veteran point guard saw his streak of games with double-digit assists end at three, but Lillard compensated by reaching 30 points for the first time since Nov. 7. While a concussion cost him a few games earlier this month, Lillard has otherwise had a strong start to the season, averaging 25.2 points, 7.4 assists, 4.6 boards, 2.9 threes and 0.9 steals over 14 contests, and he has room to improve those numbers further -- his 32.0 percent shooting from three-point range would be a career low.

• Bucks' Damian Lillard: Hands out 13 assists

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard closed with 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 129-117 win over Indiana. Lillard wasn't as dominant on offense as Giannis Antetokounmpo, who finished with a 37-point triple-double. However, the star point guard has been playing at a high level since returning from a three-game absence due to a concussion. He has three double-doubles in his three games since returning to the court, a span during which he's averaging 20.7 points and 11.0 assists per contest. He's shooting just 38.9 percent from the field in that stretch, but fantasy managers can live with the lack of efficiency if he continues to put up these numbers on a regular basis.

• Bucks' Damian Lillard: Double-doubles in win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard totaled 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and 10 assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-106 victory over Chicago. Lillard had a rough shooting display from beyond the arc, but the efficiency woes can be overlooked, as he still posted a double-double. The star floor general has two double-doubles this season, and both have come in his last two outings since returning from a three-game absence due to a concussion.

• Bucks' Damian Lillard: Delivers game winner in return

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard (concussion) played 36 minutes and finished with 18 points (6-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 assists and four rebounds in Monday's 101-100 win over the Rockets. Lillard was cleared to return to the Milwaukee lineup following a three-game absence while he was in concussion protocol. Though he was rusty from the field and came up empty from three-point range for the third time in 11 appearances on the season, Lillard came through in the clutch. With the clock winding down on the Bucks' final possession, Lillard weaved around multiple defenders and found an opening for the go-ahead layup with 3.2 seconds remaining. He also collected four of his 10 assists in the final quarter and committed just two turnovers on the night.

  Lillard (concussion) will be available for Monday's game against the Rockets, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Lillard will make his return Monday from a three-game absence while in the league's concussion protocol. His return to the lineup means that Delon Wright will retreat to the bench and see a reduction in playing time. Lillard has averaged 35.8 minutes per game through his first 10 appearances of the season.
