Deni Avdija led the Trail Blazers with 28 points (10-of-22 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers against the Nuggets on Monday.

Avdija stayed hot in this one, and he has now scored at least 20 points in five straight games after being held to 18 points in the season opener. Most of his numbers this season are similar to last year, though his assists are slightly down. The main drop off has been his free throw percentage. After shooting 80.2 percent last year, he’s at 66.7 percent so far this season. If that improves, his overall fantasy value should jump back up.
