Damian Lillard DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (eye) will play in Wednesday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran star took an elbow to his right eye in Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, but fortunately, he didn't suffer a serious injury, and Milwaukee has upgraded Lillard's status from probable to available. Lillard has been somewhat quiet since the All-Star break, averaging 22.5 points, 5.3 assists, and 1.5 steals, but he should have plenty of fun against a short-handed Mavericks squad.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) will miss Friday's game against the Washington Wizards for injury management on his hamstring. The veteran point guard played on Thursday night under a minutes restriction and posted 15 points, seven assists, seven rebounds, two steals, and two turnovers while shooting 2-for-12 from the floor and 2-for-8 from downtown. For fantasy managers looking for a stop-gap, AJ Green received a big chunk of minutes off of the bench in their last game, but Kevin Porter Jr. may have earned a shot at more opportunities. Green posted nine points, three rebounds, and two assists compared to Porter's 13 points, two assist, and one steal.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) will play on Thursday against the Clippers. However, he will operate under a minutes restriction. The former Trail Blazer missed the Bucks' final game heading into the All-Star break because of a hamstring injury, an ailment he's been dealing with for weeks. It's unknown how long he'll see limited action moving ahead. But with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) also restricted, Kyle Kuzma could see a bump on the scoring end, with Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, and Gary Trent Jr. in line for more minutes.
