Scores team-high 25 points
Avdija contributed 25 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 loss to the Magic.
Analysis
The Trail Blazers came up short for a second consecutive game despite two inspired performances from Avdija. He upped his offensive production from his 18/8/9 line against Detroit on Monday night, and he's doing everything possible to close the gap during these narrow losses. Avdija posted four points, two assists, a steal and a rebound over the final seven minutes to decrease Orlando's lead, but it was another crushing result for a Portland team struggling to stay afloat in the Western Conference.

Comes close to triple-double
Avdija accumulated 18 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-15 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one block in 39 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Avdija finished just two rebounds and an assist shy of a triple-double, but he had the distinction of spurring a late rally in the fourth quarter. He logged seven points, three rebounds, three assists and a block as the squad erased a 21-point deficit. Although the team has gone 4-5 in December, the month has gone quite well for Avdija, who's averaged 24.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.0 steals over nine games.

Another strong line
Avdija logged 24 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and one steal in 40 minutes of Saturday's 98-93 win over the Kings.
Analysis
Avdija came into Saturday's game with a fourth-round valuation in nine-category formats with averages of 25.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers in his previous 27 regular-season games. This was his eighth game of the campaign with at least 30 points, and following Saturday's win, the team improved to 12-16 on the season.

Pours in 35 for OT win
Avdija chipped in 35 points (12-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 42 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime victory over Sacramento.
Analysis
Avdija had another excellent outing against the Kings, registering his eighth 30-point game of the season. He did so while shooting 12-for-19 from the floor and converting ten made free throws, the final two coming in overtime with one second remaining to give his team the win. In December, Avdija is averaging 9.7 free-throw attempts per game, which trails only Luka Doncic (10.4). Avdija's game is blossoming rapidly. Over his last 10 outings, he hasn't finished a game with fewer than four rebounds, five assists or 16 points.
