Deni Avdija Active Wednesday In Charlotte
5 months agoWashington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Avdija came away from morning shootaround with a designation on Washington's injury report due to a non-COVID illness, but he's feeling well enough to go for Wednesday's play in North Carolina and help the Wiz try to end a difficult stretch of 10 losses in their last 11 tries. The versatile 22-year-old former No. 9 overall pick is rounding into form a bit during the early stages of the campaign, averaging 12.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 trifectas, and 1.2 steals, which is almost strong enough for fifth-round worth in 12-team 9-category fantasy leagues. Avdija could have some extra motivation after scoring a season-low seven points in Monday's 142-129 home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, and Wednesday's matchup features a bountiful 241.5-point implied total.
