The Trail Blazers ruled point guard Damian Lillard out Monday against the Bulls due to his lingering hamstring issue.
Lillard has now missed five straight games, and has not played since December 20. He is averaging 25.2 points, 6.4 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game this season.

Lillard originally injured his hamstring against the Spurs earlier this month. He scored 17 points in the game before limping off the court.
With Lillard out, CJ McCollum should take up the scoring responsibility. The slick-shooting guard is averaging 21 points per game this season.
