Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks. The star guard has been dealing with a calf contusion for a bit, but the injury hasn't significantly impacted Lillard, who has notched 25 or more points in all three outings this week. Lillard has shot close to 43 percent from deep since the turn of the year and should relish MSG's unique atmosphere on Sunday. However, a potential setback for Lillard would open up an opportunity for AJ Green and Ryan Rollins to take on more prominent roles in the rotation.
Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) will play against the Orlando Magic on Friday despite dealing with a left knee contusion.

Fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel comfortable getting Lillard back in their lineups.
