Stat line: 33 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 13-for-28 shooting

Is there anyone in this league who can guard Damian Lillard and stop him from scoring? Lillard has been on a tear all season long and is the prime reason for the Portland Trail Blazer's success.

They have a legit chance at toppling the Oklahoma City Thunder for the third spot and can even make a deep run in the playoffs. Fresh off the heels of a 21-point performance in the win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dame was once again in his elements as he dropped 33 points, including 15 in the third quarter to help the Blazers go past the Celtics.

Lillard struggled shooting from beyond the arc as he went 3-for-10 but was very dominant inside the paint and finished at the rim strongly.
