Goes off for career-high 71 points Lillard erupted for a career-high 71 points (22-38 FG, 13-22 3Pt, 14-14 FT) to go with six rebounds and six assists across 39 minutes in Sunday's 131-114 win over the Rockets.
Impact The 13 triples were one shy of matching Klay Thompson's single-game NBA record and also represented a new personal best for Lillard, who looked plenty fresh in his first game appearance since the All-Star break after the Trail Blazers opted to rest him ahead of Thursday's loss to the Kings following travel complications. The 32-year-old is now the eighth different player in NBA history to eclipse 70 points in a game, and the second this season after the Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell also put up 71 points in a Jan. 2 win over Chicago. Lillard now has 15 games of at least 50 points during his career, the sixth-most in league annals. He's already averaging a career-high 32.3 points per game for the season, but it's possible Lillard sees an even bigger bump in usage while his backcourt mate and the Blazers' second-leading scorer, Anfernee Simons (ankle), is out indefinitely.

Sitting against Sacramento Lillard is out for Thursday's game versus the Kings due to rest.
Impact Lillard will miss his first game since Dec. 3 on Thursday. His late addition to the injury report is somewhat peculiar as this is Portland's first game back from the All-Star break, and the team doesn't play against until Sunday. The star guard's absence could be due to the Trail Blazers' flight to Sacramento being delayed significantly because of weather issues, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports. Regardless, Lillard should be good to go against Houston on Sunday.
