Shines with 28/11 double-double
Avdija racked up 28 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-104 victory over the Clippers.
Analysis
Avdija padded his total with another great result at the charity stripe. The Portland standout has logged 23 games with 10 or more free-throw attempts, eclipsed only by Luka Doncic. Avdija also finished as the team's top rebounder, a milestone usually reserved for Donovan Clingan, who endured one of his worst games of the season. Avdija has recorded solid numbers since returning from a six-game absence, averaging 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.7 steals over a 13-game span.

Just misses double-double Friday
Avdija finished with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-9 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 100-93 loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis
The 25-year-old forward fell one board short of tying his career high with his 18th double-double of the season. Avdija hasn't found his shot from three-point range since returning in early March from a six-game absence due to back trouble but has otherwise been productive. Over the last 11 contests, he's averaging 21.5 points, 6.9 assists, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 threes and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks while shooting just 19.6 percent from long range.

Hits for 18 against Milwaukee
Avdija notched 18 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 win over the Bucks.
Analysis
The 25-year-old forward hasn't scored fewer than 17 points in 10 straight games since returning from a back issue in early March. Over that stretch, Avdija is averaging 21.6 points, 7.0 assists, 6.1 boards, 1.1 threes and 1.4 combined blocks and steals despite shooting woes that have seen him manage a 42.3 percent mark from the floor and 20.8 percent from three-point range.
