2024 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 9 pick in the 2020 Draft, Avdija showed some flashes of breaking out at the end of the 2022-23 season and carried it over into a stellar 2023-24 campaign. The Israeli forward was one of Washington's best players last year, averaging 14.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.2 threes per game. That was inevitably going to happen when examining the Wizards roster last year, but it remains to be seen how he'll look in Portland. The Trail Blazers traded for him in the offseason, and they have a much deeper rotation than Washington. Both clubs are terrible, but Avdija will have to battle Anfernee Simons, Jerami Grant, Scoot Henderson and Deandre Ayton for touches. Those four players are probably better than anyone on the Washington roster, which will likely lead to a slight decline for Avdija. We didn't even mention Shaedon Sharpe, which has us wondering if Avdija will even start this season. With that said, this is a 23-year-old forward coming off a career year, and he could be one of the focal points of the Blazer's offense if they continue to go into rebuild mode. With so many questions surrounding Portland, reaching for Avdija could be risky, but he could certainly outperform his ADP if handed 30-plus minutes a night. Read Past Outlooks

Won't play vs. LAL
Avdija (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Avdija has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a fourth straight game to end the campaign. He'll finish with career-high averages across the board, but he really took his game to the next level in mid-March, averaging 26.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 36.5 minutes over his final 13 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign.

2020
Avdija's role was a constant source of frustration for managers during the 2022-23 season, making him a hard player to roster confidently. The Wizards finally tore things down, parting ways with Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. This alone should ensure that Avdija sees consistent minutes this season, putting him firmly on the standard league radar. He finished just inside the top 200 last season, compiling averages of 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals. However, he was given a larger role down the stretch, scoring at least 15 points in five consecutive games to end the month of March. In that span, he averaged 18.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.0 steals in around 34.0 minutes per game. Granted, this is a tiny sample size, making it hard to jump to any conclusions. But it highlights his ability to play as a point-forward who can score and facilitate. The Wizards have brought in a couple of new pieces, namely Tyus Jones and Jordan Poole, who complicate matters. That said, Avdija has done enough to at least earn himself a shot at a significant role. If he can carve out upwards of 26 minutes per game, he makes for a viable late-round flier, even in competitive formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sets goals for 2025-26 season
Avdija has established a personal goal for the 2025-26 season, as he revealed that he wants to leave a bigger mark on the defensive end of the floor going forward, according to Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian. "The next step for me is to become a great two-way player," he said, per Fentress. "Be more involved on the defensive end."
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers acquired Avdija last summer from the Wizards, and the forward enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024-25, although he saved his best for last with averages of 24.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game in his final 16 regular-season appearances. Praised for his work ethic and on a team-friendly deal worth $39.4 million over the next three seasons, Avdija is one of the most underpaid players in the league. He seems ready to embrace a bigger role with the Blazers ahead of his second year with the franchise.
