RecapDeni Avdija tallied 28 points (9-of-20 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, four steals, two blocks and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Thunder.
One night removed from scoring 24 points in a win over the Thunder, Avdija was just as productive in the rematch. The 28 points were the most he’s scored in a game since November 2, when the Trail Blazers forward hit that number in a win over the Nuggets. While there were questions before the season began about Portland’s offensive pecking order, there haven’t been any issues so far, even when the currently injured Ja Morant was healthy. That’s great for those who used a top-50 draft pick on Avdija.
