Deni Avdija made a notable impact off the bench scoring 14 points with eight rebounds and contributing across multiple categories despite the Trail Blazers’ preseason loss to the Warriors. While Avdija’s role remains competitive with Jerami Grant’s return, Avdija’s versatile performance suggests his fantasy value remains intact. Fantasy managers should consider Avdija a strong option moving forward, particularly if his efficiency and defensive contributions continue to hold steady.
