Deni Avdija has been tremendous this season for the Blazers and is the favorite to win the Most Improved Player award. However, this matchup against the Rockets presents a number of issues.
Deni averages 25.9 points per game on the entire season and is coming off of 3 strong games against the Pelicans, the Spurs (no Wemby), and the Jazz. I’m selling here.
One of the sneaky details about Deni this season is he averages the second-most FTAs per game behind Luka with 9.8 - yes, you read that right. He averages more FTA than your favorite foul merchant. He does this by relentlessly attacking the rim and getting into the paint. The Rockets allow the seventh-fewest FTAs per game and are above average at limiting paint scoring. And while Portland plays fast, the Rockets play at the third-slowest Pace in the league.
Against bottom 10 Paces, Deni averages 24.7 and is under this line in 7/9 games. When he played the Rockets earlier this season he scored 22 points and fell below his FTA average.
It’s tough fading a young star but this is a tough matchup.
