RecapDamian 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.
