Deni Avdija Helps Trail Blazers Into Playoffs With 41-Point Effort
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija was sensational on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns as the team secured a playoff spot with a 114-110 win in the Play-In Tournament. He produced a double-double with 41 points and 12 assists, becoming the fifth player to score 40-plus points in a play-in game. Avdija, who finished 15-for-22 from the floor, made several key buckets late in the game. He also tallied seven rebounds and two blocks in 38 minutes. After overcoming a back issue, Avdija has returned to top form in recent weeks, and the Israeli star should thrive in the playoffs as he makes his postseason debut. The Trail Blazers are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2021, where they face Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in the first round.
