Lights up Jazz with 60 points Lillard produced 60 points (21-29 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 win over the Jazz.

Impact Lillard was unstoppable Wednesday. Through three-quarters of play, he had 50 points and was a perfect nine for nine from beyond the three-point arc. Wednesday's 60-point total is a new season high and marks his fifth career 60-point performance. The Trail Blazers lost Jusuf Nurkic (calf) and Josh Hart (hamstring) to injuries Wednesday, but Lillard was too much for the Jazz to overcome. With the Trail Blazers currently in the 12th seed, Lillard will have to continue to step up if either player misses time.

Regains three-point stroke in win Lillard finished Monday's 147-127 win over the Spurs with 37 points (12-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 assists, one rebound and one steal in 31 minutes.

Impact A matchup with the 14-33 Spurs was exactly what Lillard needed to get back on track coming off a pair of losses to the 76ers and Lakers in which he went a combined 11-for-38 from the field and 6-for-26 from three-point range. Aside from the poor shooting efforts in those two contests, Lillard has otherwise been magnificent during the past two weeks. In Portland's other seven games during that two-week stretch, Lillard has scored no fewer than 30 points in any contest and has shot no worse than 47.8 percent from the field.

Double-doubles in loss Lillard recorded 24 points (5-17 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 11-13 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists in 40 minutes during Sunday's 121-112 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Lillard posted his second straight double-double with six rebounds, and the star point guard is also on a tear with eight straight contests with at least 20 points. Lillard is averaging 31.6 points, 7.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game with four double-doubles across 11 outings in January, but those strong numbers have led Portland to a 3-8 record in that span.

Struggles with shot in loss Lillard produced 25 points (6-21 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and two steals across 40 minutes during Thursday's 105-95 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Lillard endured a miserable first half, knocking down just one of 10 attempts from the field. However, he was able to recover and shoot better after intermission to finish with a team-leading 25 points. While his 6-for-21 overall shooting mark won't bring joy to his fantasy managers, the star point guard did manage to prop up free-throw percentages with a perfect 10-for-10 night from the line while adding a pair of steals and blocks. Lillard also contributed 11 dimes to record his eighth double-double of the campaign.

Reaches 40 points again Lillard finished with 44 points (12-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 14-14 FT), eight assists and three rebounds in 34 minutes in Tuesday's 122-113 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Lillard continued his sizzling run of offensive production, hitting the 40-point mark for the second game in a row and clearing 30 points for the sixth consecutive contest. Perhaps most notably, the star point guard maintained his flawless shooting from the free-throw line; he's now converted on all 40 of his attempts at the charity stripe over his last three contests. While Lillard won't be able to sustain his run of red-hot shooting forever, fantasy managers can simply enjoy the ride while the 32-year-old is healthy and amid his best stretch of games since the 2020-21 season.
