Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,300

Damian Lillard keeps seeing a massive workload. He hasn't played fewer than 36.6 minutes since November 20 (an eight-game stretch), and he has more games with at least 40 minutes (three) than with fewer than 37.9 minutes (two) in that stretch.

His 39.1 minutes per game over his last eight contests are the most in the NBA (minimum two games played) in that span, and he has a solid 30.9% usage rate to go with the big playing time.

Lillard hasn't yet turned it into massive fantasy production, but he has been solid, posting at least 46.5 FanDuel points (5 points per $1,000 of salary today) in each of his last three games. In a pace-up game against the Dubs -- a contest with a solid 215.5 over/under -- Lillard's massive workload ensures he should have plenty of chances to rack up fantasy points tonight.
