Erupts for 41 points in win
Avdija posted 41 points (15-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-13 FT), 12 assists, seven rebounds and two blocks across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 114-110 Play-In Tournament win over the Suns.
Analyse
Avdija turned in an extremely efficient performance from the field and got to the charity stripe often, finishing with a game-high 41 points. Including the postseason, the 25-year-old has reached the 40-point threshold twice in 2025-26 and three times in his career. The star forward also led all players in assists and recorded his second straight double-double. Avdija and the Trail Blazers are now set to face the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.

Scores 25 vs. Sacramento
Avdija recorded 25 points (9-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 122-110 win over the Kings.
Analyse
Avdija ended just four rebounds shy of ending the best regular season of his career with a triple-double, and the forward should play a massive role on offense for the Trail Blazers in the Play-In Tournament. Avdija will carry a hot hand into Tuesday's matchup against the Suns, scoring at least 20 points in his last eight games while averaging 26.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game in that span. Over the entire season, Avdija averaged a career-best 24.2 points, adding 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game in 66 starts.

Erupts with 35 points
Avdija accumulated 35 points (11-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 12-13 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 116-97 win over the Clippers.
Analyse
Although Avdija's long-range shot was mostly off-target, he was otherwise brilliant in an all-around performance to lead the Trail Blazers to victory. The win brought the team even with the Clippers, and they'll need a win in the season finale against the Kings to secure the eighth seed and a meeting against the Suns in the play-in bracket. Based on that urgency, Avdija should receive ample minutes in the season finale.
