MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $8,700
ANALYSIS: Damian Lillard has struggled over his last couple of games, but he should be able to turn things around tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. Last game, he posted over 30 fantasy points, but prior to that, he scored 25.4 and 17.4 fantasy points against the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers. In the five games prior to those disappointments, Lillard posted over 40 fantasy points in every game, and posted over 50 fantasy points once and over 60 fantasy points once.
He has great upside, and the Lakers are not going to be able to cover him. He is slightly underperforming right now, so do not use him in 50/50 contests, but he is definitely worth a look in tournaments. A lot of DFS owners are going to overlook him because of his recent play, but remember not to chase fantasy points. Rather, find players that are underperforming and utilize that to win tournaments.
