Deni Avdija accounted for 25 points (7-of-18 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Timberwolves.
While turnovers remain an issue for Avdija, who committed four on Friday, his scoring output has picked up recently. Since his most recent absence due to a lingering lower back injury, the Trail Blazers wing has scored at least 17 points in seven straight games. Over the past two weeks, Avdija has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats.
