Fantasy Impact

Over the last month, Avdija has been in and out of the lineup with injuries and Friday was just his third game this month. Avdija just missed tying his season-high of 14 assists he recorded back on December 2 against Toronto. Avdija is averaging 17.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.0 assists and, when he is healthy, has emerged as a top-tier fantasy contributor. The first-time All Star is averaging 25.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.8 assists this season.

Deni Avdija (back) is questionable to play in Thursday night's game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Avdija is dealing with a back injury and may be sidelined on Thursday night because of it. He's officially considered questionable to play, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Jerami Grant and Toumani Camara will both see more work if he's unable to suit up.

Deni Avdija struggled in Wednesday's 133-109 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 11 points (3-14 FG, 0-7 3PT, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal.

Fantasy Impact

Avdija failed to knock down a three-pointer and shot a season-low 21.4% from the field on Wednesday. He'll look to bounce back Thursday against the Utah Jazz.

Avdija finished two assists short of a triple-double with 26 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in Monday's 17-point win over the 76ers. He shot 8-of-16 from the field and 8-of-10 from the line while adding two steals, one block and two three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact

The performance came in his return from a two-game absence due to a back injury, with no restrictions on his playing time. He logged 27 minutes, consistent with the other starters in the blowout. Portland has two games remaining before the All-Star break—road matchups in Minnesota on Wednesday and Utah on Thursday.

Deni Avdija is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Fantasy Impact

Avdija is looking to avoid missing a third straight game for Portland. His status will need to be monitored closer to tip-off.
