Damian Lillard Season Outlook: Rip City Return Alongside Ja Morant

Damian Lillard returns to Portland locked into the starting backcourt alongside fellow star Ja Morant. Following an injury-interrupted previous campaign, recent preseason action confirmed his health, quickness, and perimeter shooting rhythm. Fantasy managers have demonstrated renewed trust as a result, with his start rate steadily rising to 92% in our tracking data.

Our models project Lillard for 34.6 fantasy points and 31.2 minutes per game across 66 projected appearances. While sharing primary creation duties with Morant trims his historical usage, we still project high-end contributions of 21.0 points, 5.6 assists, and 4.3 rebounds while converting 43.9% of his field-goal attempts.

At age 36 with 13 years of NBA experience, health preservation remains the main factor keeping his market price near ADP 68. Even if maintenance days trim his total game count, Lillard’s locked-in starter status and elite free-throw touch keep him firmly positioned as an impactful mid-round guard.
