Damian Lillard has been among the NBA's hottest players and it was highlighted by a 50-point showing against the Sacramento Kings over two weeks ago.
Lillard has yet to get 40 points in consecutive games during his career and Tuesday gets another crack at piling up points when the Portland Trail Blazers host Sacramento.
When Lillard scored 50 at Sacramento on Feb. 9, the Kings had three nights to prepare. This time they are visiting Portland on the second night of a back-to-back and will have limited time to figure out a way to stop the star guard from going 16 of 26 from the field or from scoring 22 points in a quarter like he did in the third period of the Trail Blazers' 118-100 win.
