ANALYSIS: Lillard has missed the past three games with what Haynes described as "right hamstring tendinopathy." It's a big return for the Portland Trail Blazers, who have stumbled to a 3-7 record so far this month. Lillard is averaging 28.7 points, 7.7 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game this season as one of the best players in the NBA.
