Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $9,700

The stakes aren't quite as high on the other side of that game, but the Blazers are still playing for playoff seeding, so they're not likely to take their foot off the gas just yet.

The Nuggets have been a great fantasy matchup for point guards this season, allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to the position. They also rank a lowly 27th in defensive rating over the past month.

Damian Lillard is coming off a middling fantasy performance in a tough matchup against San Antonio, but he got up 22 field goal attempts in 35.1 minutes of action in that one. That kind of workload is very encouraging for future fantasy production, and the usage wasn't an outlier. Over his last eight games, Dame has averaged 20.5 field goal attempts in 37.1 minutes per night, generating 47.3 FanDuel points per game in that span.

Lillard offers both a strong floor and ceiling on Monday.
