Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quad) has been cleared and is ready to return ahead of Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Avdija is back in action following a two-game absence due to a quad injury. Before going down, Avdija was playing fairly well, including a 30-point triple-double against the Cleveland Cavaliers. His return will likely mean less playing time for Shaedon Sharpe and Kris Murray. Fantasy managers who have Avdija rostered can get him active in their lineups.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Avdija was questionable coming into this game, but will officially miss his second straight game due to a left quad contusion. The absence of Avdija should mean more playing time for Shaedon Sharpe and Kris Murray in the rotation. Sharpe has been playing big minutes lately with 33 minutes or more in each of his last six games. He has been a solid fantasy option during that span and should continue being a viable option when playing 30-plus minutes per night.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quadriceps) will be inactive against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Avdija re-aggravated a quadriceps injury during Wednesday's matchup against the Boston Celtics, and Friday's game comes too soon for him to be healthy enough to stay in the lineup. The team initially listed Avdija as questionable. Jerami Grant (knee) is available to return from a four-game absence and will help make up for Avdija's loss. At the same time, Kris Murray may see a bit more playing time.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quad) won't return to the floor during Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Avdija appears to have re-aggravated his quad issue and won't be returning to this contest. He'll finish his night with 12 points, six rebounds, and two assists across 23 minutes of action. Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe figure to see increased roles for the rest of this game and possibly longer if Avdija misses more time. Both players have been viable fantasy options and could have more value going forward. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Avdija.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quad) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Avdija is back in action after sitting out of Friday's game due to a left quad contusion. He shouldn't be limited at all after only missing one game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his playing time. The 24-year-old figures to get plenty of run down the stretch and has been making the most of his with a double-double earlier in the week.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quadriceps) will not play in Friday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Avdija injured his left quadriceps in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards and has been ruled out for Friday after the team initially gave him a questionable designation on the injury report. Shaedon Sharpe is expected to replace Avdija in the first unit, while Kris Murray will likely also be more involved in the rotation.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quadriceps) won't return to Wednesday's meeting against the Wizards. He wasn't on the floor long, logging only six minutes and finishing with five points. The Blazers are already down Deandre Ayton (calf), so another extended absence of one of the team's top producers wouldn't be an ideal scenario. Fantasy managers will likely see Avdija's name on the injury report heading into Friday's game in Brooklyn. If he isn't out there for that one, Shaedon Sharpe or Scoot Henderson would likely slide into the starting lineup.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (quad) was forced to exit during the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He took a hit to his left quad and would eventually head to the locker room. Avdija is currently questionable to return to his contest, but fantasy managers should know more information soon. In the meantime, Scoot Henderson and Kris Murray could see increased run if Avdija is unable to return. Henderson is the better fantasy option long-term if Avdija is forced to miss more time.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (hand) will be active on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Avidja is dealing with a hand injury, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Following an impressive spell to start the new year, Avdija has struggled in recent outings. He has netted only 15 total points over his past two appearances while notching eight rebounds with zero defensive stats. The versatile forward has averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in the matchup against Minnesota this season.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (ankle) will suit up on Sunday versus Chicago. He missed the last three games because of a sprained ankle. Fortunately, Jerami Grant recently returned from a lengthy stint on the shelf, so he filled the void in the lineup. With that said, head coach Chauncey Billups is looking for more efficiency on the defensive side of the ball, meaning Avdija will start alongside Grant, with Shaedon Sharpe heading back to the bench. While Avdija is already a capable fantasy producer, his ceiling was raised even more after the team announced that Anfernee Simons (elbow) won't suit up.
