Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) getting the day off, Lillard stepped up with a big performance, topping 30 points for the third time in the last seven games while setting a new season high in assists. The veteran point guard has 11 double-doubles on the season, and three of them have come in March as he's averaged 24.8 points, 8.9 assists, 4.1 boards and 3.8 threes so far on the month.

Close to double-double in win Lillard racked up 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Thursday's 114-105 win over the 76ers.

Impact Lillard didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 16 shots to score 17 points, but he made his presence felt as a playmaker and dished out nine or more assists for the third time across his last four games. Lillard can still take over a game if needed, but he's been forced to adjust to play as the second option behind Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee. His numbers have suffered because of that, as he's averaging nearly eight points fewer (24.3 ppg) compared to last season (32.2 ppg).

Impact Lillard has attempted 10 or more three pointers in four of his last five games and has gone 42.6 percent from beyond the arc in that span. He's carried his All-Star Game MVP momentum into the second portion of the regular season and has been a large factor in Milwaukee's 8-2 record since the break. Over his last 10 games, Lillard has averaged 24.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists over 35.3 minutes per game.

Snuffed on potential game-winner Lillard produced 28 points (10-23 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and 12 assists over 38 minutes during Friday's 123-122 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Lillard put up a big line and came through with eight of his 28 points in the fourth quarter, but he lost a chance for glory when his potential game-winning jumper was blocked by Spencer Dinwiddie at the buzzer. Nonetheless, the star point guard put together a standout fantasy performance, recording his first double-double since Feb. 23 and falling one assist shy of his season-high mark. Lillard also extended his run of games with multiple triples to 12.

Pops for 20 against Golden State Lillard ended Wednesday's 125-90 loss to the Warriors with 20 points (7-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, six assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes.

Impact The veteran point guard drained multiple threes for the 11th straight game, but Lillard was one of only three Bucks to score in double digits on the night. Over that stretch, he's averaging 22.4 points, 6.4 assists, 4.8 boards, 3.1 threes and 1.1 steals, and the 33-year-old seems to have settled into the lower usage rate that comes with being Giannis Antetokounmpo's running mate, rather than the monster volume he typically saw in Portland.

Carries Milwaukee to victory Lillard supplied 41 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 13-13 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Monday's 113-106 win over the Clippers.

Impact Lillard took over for the Bucks in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles), and the star floor general delivered one of his best scoring performances of the campaign right when Milwaukee needed him the most. This was just the third time Lillard reached the 40-point mark this season, and he could be in line for another heavy workload against the Warriors on Wednesday in case Antetokounmpo doesn't recover in time for that matchup.
