Nets 23 points with 14 assists
Avdija ended with 23 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and 14 assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 128-112 loss to Denver.
Analysis
Avdija showed some impressive playmaking, racking up double-digit dimes by halftime, and he also did a nice job of limiting his turnovers. This was Avdija's third straight game scoring 20-plus points, and he'll look to keep this hot streak alive Monday versus the Nets.

Comes close to double-double
Avdija produced 25 points (7-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 108-104 win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Avdija endured a rough stretch in the weeks before and after the All-Star break, but now he seems to have finally recovered from a nagging back injury. The All-Star forward has scored at least 22 points in four of his last six games -- and at least 25 points in three of his last four. With the fantasy playoffs right around the corner, Avdija is getting hot at the perfect time. Since returning to the lineup March 8 against the Pacers, he's averaging 22.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 blocks per game in seven contests.

Double-doubles with five dimes
Avdija racked up 32 points (9-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-119 victory over the Pacers.
Analysis
While Avdija didn't have his most efficient game from the floor, he did a nice job of drawing contact and getting to the line for easy buckets. This marked his highest point total and most free-throw attempts since returning from a back issue, a sign he's beginning to find his rhythm again.

Produces from charity stripe
Avdija racked up 18 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-95 win over Brooklyn.
Analysis
Avdija wasn't efficient from the field but still worked his way to 18 points by getting to the free-throw line consistently. Beyond scoring, the wing has now recorded double-digit totals in combined rebounds and assists in each of his past five contests. While injuries have interrupted his season at times, the 25-year-old has still put together a strong 2025-26 campaign, particularly as a scorer.

Scores 25 points
Avdija recorded 25 points (7-19 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 109-103 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis
Avdija posted his best scoring mark since the All-Star break, and he's slowly looking better and better with each passing game after he missed six consecutive contests between Feb. 24 and March 6 due to a back injury. Avdija is having a career-best season with averages of 24.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game in 2025-26, but those numbers have regressed to 16.2 points, 4.8 boards and 7.5 dimes per game since the break.
