Deni Avdija records double-double at Hawks

JANUARY 14 • YOUTUBE

Flirts with triple-double in win Avdija contributed 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 127-99 win over Atlanta.

Impact Avdija dominated the Hawks, falling just one assist short of a triple-double. He has now scored double-digits in eight of the past nine games, coupling that with an abundance of assists and rebounds. To top things off, he has at least one steal in 13 straight games, continuing his strong season. Quite clearly, Avdija is a must-roster player across all formats.

Puts up 23 points Saturday Avdija finished Saturday's 121-105 loss to New York with 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

Impact Avdija recorded his third double-double over his last five outings, and he continues to deliver solid numbers on both ends of the court now that he's firmly settled in a starting role. The nature of his role should be enough to make him relevant in fantasy, and it's worth noting Avdija is averaging 12.4 points with 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game over his last 10 contests.

Top rebounder in double-double Avdija totaled 17 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 130-126 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Avdija led the Wizards in rebounds while ending as one of seven players with a double-digit point total in a double-double performance. Avdija has posted a double-double in three games this season, all of which have occurred over his last six outings.

Best outing of season in win Avdija amassed 21 points (9-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-4 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 110-104 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Avdija led all players in Friday's game in rebounds while ending as one of two Wizards with 20 or more points and adding a team-high-tying assist total in an all-around showing. Avdija set season-best mark in rebounds in the win, posting his third game with 20 or more points this year. He has tallied a double-double in two of his last five contests.

Double-double in Thursday's win Avdija accumulated 13 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact It's the fourth-year forward's first double-double of the season, after he collected 11 over 76 games in 2022-23. Avdija's production continues to inch up, and while he isn't having a breakout campaign, he's averaging 11.3 points, 6.1 boards and 4.7 assists over the last 11 games.

Efficient night in loss Avdija logged 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 124-97 loss to the Nets.

Impact Avdija was the second leading scorer on the Wizards behind Kyle Kuzma, in a game that Washington shoot 18.2 percent from beyond the arc. Avdija is quietly averaging a career-high 12.1 points per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 35.7 percent from three.

Productive in defeat Avdija supplied 22 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Magic.

Impact Although the Wizards struggled to keep up on the scoreboard Wednesday, Avdija was efficient from the floor and matched his highest scoring total of the season while also racking up multiple steals for the first time since Nov. 15. He's scored in double figures in five of his last eight outings and has averaged 12.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 26.8 minutes per game during that time.

Produces well-rounded line Monday Avdija finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 26 minutes in Monday's 126-107 win over the Pistons.

Impact For the fourth game in a row, Avdija played under 30 minutes and failed to provide a block or a steal, but he was at least able to bounce back in the scoring column after shooting 39.1 percent from the field in the Wizards' prior three contests. After signing a four-year, $55 million contract extension in October, Avdija should be fairly secure in the starting five, but he may not have the upside to see his playing time increase dramatically while the Wizards remain committed to opening up minutes for rookie wing Bilal Coulibaly, who has impressed on the defensive end and has thus far proven to be a better perimeter shooter than anticipated.

Good to go Saturday Avdija (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Avdija was a late addition to the injury report, but he made it through warmups feeling fine and will give it a go Saturday. The Wizards will roll out their usual starters in this one.

Questionable with illness Avdija is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to an illness.

Impact Avdija is a very late addition to the injury report for Washington. If the Wizards ultimately hold him out, there could be more opportunities for Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Charlotte Avdija (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Avdija has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a non-COVID illness. Avdija has started in all 13 of his appearances this season and is averaging 12.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.5 minutes over that span.

Questionable for Wednesday Avdija is questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte due to an illness.

Impact Other than Delon Wright (knee, out), the rest of Washington's injury report is clean. Avdija has been a key player for the Wizards this season, so his potential absence would be a major blow to the team. If he's unable to play, we could see more of Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert and possibly Danilo Gallinari.

Active defensively in loss Avdija contributed 15 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact The three steals tied his season high while the three made three-pointers established a new one, and it's the third time in 11 games Avdija has delivered at least 15 points. The ninth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft is growing into a larger role on the rebuilding Wizards, and while he's already on pace for a career-best campaign, his production could find another level simply by virtue of more court time -- after not seeing more than 27 minutes a night through the first five contests, Avdija played at least 28 in five straight before getting a bit of a breather Wednesday during a game in which Washington trailed by 20 at the half. If his workload settles in at or even above 30 minutes a game, more fantasy value should follow.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Poor shooting effort Sunday Avdija produced 14 points (6-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Avdija delivered a solid stat line and came just one rebound shy of posting a double-double while also making his presence felt defensively with a season-high mark in steals. However, while this was the seventh time Avdija scored in double figures across his last eight games, it's also worth noting that he ended Sunday's game with more field goal attempts than points scored. His overall numbers are trending in the right direction, but an uptick in efficiency would undoubtedly boost his upside.

Aldridge: The In-Season Tournament is fine, just don't shove it down America's throat "All the courts and all the colors, all the stuff around it … I get it; it's a show," Deni Avdija said. "But it's not needed."

Quality performance in loss Avdija notched 16 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 146-128 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Avdija was efficient and versatile Monday, representing the Wizards third-leading scorer while co-leading the team in assists. He had been on the injury report with an ankle sprain but logged a full workload. Avdija is an important wing player for the Wizards, which makes Monday's production a realistic nightly expectation.
