RecapDeni Avdija tallied 15 points (5-of-13 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.
Avdija led the Trail Blazers in points and field-goal attempts on Saturday, but the overall stat line was underwhelming. Deni didn’t shoot well from the field and recorded just one assist. Surprisingly, Avdija’s fantasy value has slipped after Ja Morant’s hamstring injury. Over the last five games, he sits just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats. Avdija will look to contribute more when Portland hosts Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
