Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Price: $10,700

While it's not quite on Beal's level, Damian Lillard's workload since the All-Star break hasn't been anything to scoff at, and he's tied for eighth in the NBA with 36.5 minutes per game.

He was quiet in his first few games after the break, only topping 40 FanDuel points in two of his first seven, but business has really picked up since then.

Lillard has at least 43 FanDuel points in five of his last six, topping 50 FanDuel points three times, 60 twice and 70 once in that stretch, averaging 51.7 per.

He put up at least 28 field goal attempts twice in that time, with at least 34.5% usage in both of those. That's compared to a season average of 29.4%.

Dame also finds himself in a good spot on Wednesday against a Dallas Mavericks team that has simply stopped playing defense since the All-Star break, ranking 29th in the NBA with a 116.1 defensive rating as they have skidded to a 2-13 record in that time. There's some blowout risk in this one with Portland favored by 10, but the upside that comes with Lillard's volume makes him well worth that risk -- especially in tournaments, where he can make an interesting pivot from Westbrook.
