Lillard (thumb) is listed as probable for Friday's game in Memphis, Casey Holdahl of the Portland Trail Blazers reports.

Analysis:

Lillard tore a good portion of his right thumbnail off during Wednesday's game. He then removed a majority of it on Thursday. "It's just sore, it's tender," Lillard had to say of the injury. He also stated while it's not serious, dribbling and shooting is irritating. Given Lillard's status of probable, expect him to play his normal workload through the injury, but it could effect his ball handling and shooting stroke while he adjusts.
