Deni

Avdija

Only five players have recorded multiple 30-point triple-doubles this season: Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic and now Avdija. About a month after recording the first triple-double of his career, Avdija added a second one in a dominant performance against Atlanta. He has truly enjoyed a breakout season, though the start to the year was slow. This recent stretch has been his best with averages of 27.1 points, 10.9 rebounds, six assists, 1.6 steals and 3.3 three-pointers per game over the past two weeks. He will be an intriguing option heading into fantasy drafts next season.

The Knicks did not have an answer for Avdija during the first half of Sunday’s game, as he scored 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field. New York did a better job after the halftime break, but he still managed to record his sixth 30-point game of the season. Avdija is finishing the season in fine fashion, as he has provided top-15 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks and top-10 in eight-cat. The Trail Blazers play four games during Week 22, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Avdija cooled off a bit after back-to-back 30-point performances, but he was able to lead Portland in scoring on Thursday despite the loss. Still, over the past two weeks, Avdija has averaged 22.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, one steal and 3.4 triples per game, which has him ranked inside the top 20 in nine-cat scoring during this stretch. He’ll look to keep it going in New York on Sunday to close out the week. He had 27 points and 15 rebounds in a loss to the Knicks earlier this month.

Avdija recorded his third double-double in four games, but he had a tough night shooting the basketball. Deni was 3-of-9 from inside the arc, which was far more surprising than him shooting 3-of-9 from three. However, given how productive he has been, the poor shooting was a blip on the radar. Over the past two weeks, Avdija has been a top 20 player in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 84 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he can be a difference-maker for shallow-league managers where Avdija is still available.

Avdija has recorded three double-doubles in his last six games, providing excellent fantasy value over the past two weeks. During this stretch, the Blazers forward has provided first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. And with Portland still in the race for the final play-in spot in the West, there’s no reason for the team to consider shutting Avdija down. Portland plays three games during Week 21, starting with the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Avdija dropped at least 30 points for the fourth time so far in March. It was also his second straight game with at least 30 points. The 24-year-old small forward has been on an incredible run as he’s managed to put up some big rebounding numbers and solid assist numbers along with his scoring. Avdija is averaging 22 points per game, 10 rebounds per game and five assists per game in March. With Jerami Grant still struggling to get on the court, Avdija has to be rostered in all formats going forward.

Avdija had at least 27 points and at least 15 rebounds for the third time in his last five games. The 24-year-old small forward has been nothing short of incredible over the last two weeks. Avdija has provided seventh-round fantasy value since the All-Star break. He should be rostered in all leagues at this point.

Avdija and the Blazers erased a 16-point deficit on Sunday, ending a three-game losing streak. Deni recorded a solid stat line, with the point total boosted by an 8-of-9 night at the foul line. Among his four made field goals were what Avdija claimed to be his first career poster dunk. Since the All-Star break, the Blazers wing has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats. Portland plays four games during Week 20, starting with the Wizards on Monday.

Avdija appeared to make the most critical play of Wednesday’s game, as his three-point play with 3.4 seconds remaining in overtime gave Portland a two-point lead. Unfortunately for him, Mikal Bridges’ three as time expired was the difference. Avdija has scored 25 points or more in three of his last five appearances and has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’ll be worth a look in shallow leagues ahead of Portland’s final Week 19 game on Sunday. Also, the Blazers play four games during Week 20.

What a game. Avdija, who hadn’t played in two games since he re-aggravated his quad injury last week, couldn’t be stopped against the Warriors Monday. The 24-year-old small forward poured in a game-high 34 points on 15 shots including five 3-pointers. Avdija was also a monster on the glass pulling down 16 rebounds. To top it off, he also dished out six assists. Avdija also played a game-high 41 minutes, showing he’s over the quad injury if his stat line didn’t already give that away.
