As expected, Damian Lillard (concussion) has been ruled out for tonight’s game against the Pistons. It’ll be the second straight contest he’s missed in the league’s protocols.
Who stands to gain in DFS with the former All-Star sidelined? Let’s break it down.

PG/SG A.J. Green, Milwaukee Bucks vs. Detroit Pistons, $4,900
Lillard missed Tuesday’s victory over the Raptors, which meant Green was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time in 2024-25. He didn’t disappoint. Green wasn’t incredibly efficient, yet he took all 14 of his field goal attempts in his 30.1 minutes from beyond the arc. Add in five rebounds and three assists, and Green would finish with a very respectable 28.25 FPTS. Green is shooting 42.9% from three-point range for his career. This season? He’s shooting a cool 51.9% from distance. If he’s going to take anywhere close to the same volume of attempts on Wednesday, he’s a dangerous asset in DFS.
