Deni Avdija - Pours in 30 points Avdija amassed 30 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 125-112 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Avdija poured in a season-high 30 points in the surprise win, stepping up for the shorthanded Trail Blazers -- Jerami Grant left this game after 16 minutes with an ankle injury. Avdija has been on a heater lately, posting averages of 20.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.0 steals over his last seven games.

Deandre Ayton - No limitations in return Ayton (knee) tallied 21 points (9-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 125-112 win over the Bucks.

Impact Ayton operated without any restrictions in his return from a three-game absence due to a left knee sprain, as he exceeded his season-long average in minutes (30.1 per game) while claiming his third consecutive double-double and making contributions in both of the defensive categories. With the 18-29 Trail Blazers being well removed from playoff contention, Ayton could find himself at risk of being held out due to minor injuries in the second half of the season. When available, however, he should make for a strong source of rebounds and efficient scoring.

Jerami Grant - Won't return Tuesday Grant won't return to Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a right ankle injury.

Impact Grant appeared to injure his right ankle in the first half, though he started the second half before taking a seat with 10:04 remaining in the third. He'll finish the game with eight points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one assist across 16 minutes. Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.
