Goes off for 25 points in fourth Lillard amassed 41 points (12-23 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 11-14 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 126-112 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Lillard continued to show out on Friday, despite dealing with a calf injury that could eventually lead to him being shut down for the season. After putting up a modest 16 points through the first three quarters, the point guard exploded for 25 points in the final period on 6-of-7 shooting from the field to finish with a game-high 41 points on the night. He hit a game-high six three-pointers in the contest and is now 14-of-32 from beyond the arc over his last two games. Lillard has also scored at least 30 points in six of eight games this month.

Cleared to play against Boston Lillard (calf) has been cleared to play against Boston on Friday.
Impact Jerami Grant (quad) and Nassir Little (illness) will sit out for the Blazers. Lillard is reportedly at risk of being shut down soon if the Blazers don't turn their season around, so his fantasy managers will be hoping for an upset win Friday evening.

At risk of being shut down soon Lillard (calf) could be shut down for the season if the Trail Blazers don't make up ground in the standings over the next five or six games, Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report stated...
Impact Lillard -- probable for Friday's game against the Celtics -- is amid a fantastic individual season, but the Trail Blazers are 31-38 and 2.5 games back of the play-in tournament. If it becomes clear over the next handful of games that the season is lost, Portland may pull the plug and ask Lillard to sit out the final week or so of the season. Fantasy managers rostering Lillard should prepare for that possibility. Reserve options like Shaedon Sharpe, Cam Reddish and Ryan Arcidiacono could become viable fantasy options at the end of the campaign.

Likely to play Friday Lillard is probable for Friday's game against the Celtics due to right calf tightness.
Impact Lillard has battled a calf issue over the past week that forced him to miss a game before returning Tuesday and logging 38 points in 39 minutes. The point guard is scoring a career-high 32.3 points at a 46.5 percent clip from the field and will likely have a chance to add to those totals Friday.

Puts up 38 points in return Lillard (calf) put up 38 points (11-26 FG, 8-17 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists in 39 minutes in Tuesday's 123-107 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Lillard returned to the court after missing the Trail Blazers' 127-110 loss to the Pelicans on Sunday, and while he filled up the stat sheet nicely, he continued his trend of poor shooting performances. The point guard was always bound to regress on some level after converting at an elevated 49.6 percent rate from the field between January and February, so his 43.1 percent mark through seven games in March shouldn't concern fantasy managers too much.

Good to go Tuesday Lillard (calf) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Knicks.
Impact Lillard is back from a one-game absence and will have more on his plate offensively, as Jerami Grant is sitting out with a quad issue. This will be the first of three games on the schedule for Portland this week.

Iffy for Tuesday Lillard (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against New York.
Impact Lillard was held out of Sunday's loss in New Orleans due to the inflamed right calf, and his status remains up in the air for Tuesday's clash. He'll likely be re-evaluated after the Trail Blazers' morning shootaround Tuesday before the team makes a call on his status ahead of the 10 p.m. ET tipoff. If Lillard can't play versus the Knicks, Anfernee Simons would likely shift over from shooting guard once again to run point.

Out Sunday Lillard (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Lillard was initially listed as probable, so this is an unfortunate turn of events for managers in the fantasy playoffs. Chauncey Billups said that they are just being cautious with Lillard, so perhaps he'll be able to get back out there for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. With him watching from the sidelines Sunday, Cam Reddish might be returning to the first unit and it'll be Anfernee Simons running the show on offense.
