4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) and small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) are listed as probable to suit up for Saturday's game versus the Knicks. Lillard missed his first contest of the season Thursday due to an abdominal strain, allowing Gary Trent Jr. to start as the de facto PG. Without C.J. McCollum (foot) available, Trent still figures to carry a sizable role against New York even with Lillard trending toward a return. Jones has missed each of the last four games with a foot sprain, with his return set to bump Rodney Hood back to the second unit. Barring a last setback, fantasy managers can expect to have the MVP candidate and Jones back on the floor Saturday.--Jesse Borek
