Portland hosts Toronto after Lillard's 60-point game

Portland plays the Toronto Raptors after Damian Lillard scored 60 points in the Portland Trail Blazers' 134-124 victory over the Utah Jazz

JANUARY 28, 2023 • Associated Press

Ibou Badji - Out again Badji (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Impact Badji will miss another game due to left knee soreness. However, he's yet to make his NBA debut, so his absence won't impact Portland's rotation.

Justise Winslow - Still out Winslow (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Winslow continues to deal with a severely sprained left ankle that's sidelined him since Dec. 21. It's unclear when the versatile forward will be able to return to action, but until the Trail Blazers release an official update, Winslow will be considered day-to-day.

JANUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jusuf Nurkic - Listed as questionable Nurkic (calf) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.

Impact Nurkic left Wednesday's matchup against Utah in the third quarter due to left calf soreness and is considered a question mark for Portland's next game. If Nurkic is ultimately ruled out Saturday, Drew Eubanks would be a candidate for increased playing time.

JANUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Hart - Considered questionable Hart (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.

Impact Hart left Wednesday's contest against the Jazz in the first quarter due to right hamstring soreness and is a question mark for Portland's next game. Justise Winslow (ankle) remains sidelined, so if Hart is also ruled out, Nassir Little would presumably see extended playing time against Toronto.

How Damian Lillard scored a 'simple' 60 in Blazers win: 'Something you don't get to see very often' Trail Blazers guard records his fourth career 60-point game in simple, no-stress fashion as Blazers beat Utah 134-124.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Drew Eubanks - Solid all-around performance Eubanks notched eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 victory over Utah.

Impact Eubanks had a strong all-around performance in a game where starter Jusuf Nurkic (calf) exited in the third quarter to injury. Wednesday was just the third time Eubanks played over 25 minutes since the calendar flipped to 2023. He has gone for at least 10 rebounds and two blocks in each instance. If Nurkic misses an extended period of time, Eubanks would have some streaming appeal in fantasy.

Damian Lillard - Lights up Jazz with 60 points Lillard produced 60 points (21-29 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 win over the Jazz.

Impact Lillard was unstoppable Wednesday. Through three-quarters of play, he had 50 points and was a perfect nine for nine from beyond the three-point arc. Wednesday's 60-point total is a new season high and marks his fifth career 60-point performance. The Trail Blazers lost Jusuf Nurkic (calf) and Josh Hart (hamstring) to injuries Wednesday, but Lillard was too much for the Jazz to overcome. With the Trail Blazers currently in the 12th seed, Lillard will have to continue to step up if either player misses time.
