Avdija has 41 points, Trail Blazers hold on to beat Rockets 103-102

Deni Avdija had a season-high 41 points and the Portland Trail Blazers won their fourth straight with a wild 103-102 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night

JANUARY 8 • Associated Press

Goes for 41 points in narrow win Avdija generated 41 points (13-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 13-15 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 39 minutes of Wednesday's 103-102 win over the Rockets.

Impact Avdija fell two points shy of tying his career high in points, and he did so without catching fire from three-point range. When he scored 43 points in February of 2024, he knocked down six threes. The 24-year-old has quietly become one of the NBA's budding stars, averaging 26.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game this season.

Sniffs triple-double in blowout Avdija finished with 33 points (10-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds and nine assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 137-117 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Acdija would have been a cinch to log his second consecutive triple-double, but he sat out the entire fourth quarter with the game well in hand. Avdija earned Western Conference player of the week honors last week, and few players have been as productive as Avdija over the past month. His scintillating totals have placed Portland in the midst of a three-game winning streak, and theyv'e moved past the Grizzlies to ninth place thanks to a 6-4 streak over the past 10 games.
