The Portland Trail Blazers continued their surprising undefeated season, securing a 136-129 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, who suffered their first loss of the season. A key factor in Portland's strong start is player Dani Avivda, who has been receiving significant praise from teammates, former stars, and U.S. media.

He expressed enjoyment in playing with talented teammates like Avivda and Carmelo Anthony, emphasizing the team's determination and clear goals. "It's fun to play with a talent like Dani," Morant stated.
On NBC, former player Carmelo Anthony analyzed Avivda's contribution, calling him "the answer" to Portland's offense, particularly with his three-point shooting. Anthony noted that Avivda's size compensates for the smaller backcourt of Morant and Damian Lillard, and that his drives to the basket create pressure. He also praised Avivda's patience and ability to finish, draw contact, and earn fouls, allowing Morant and Lillard to play more easily.
The Blazers Edge publication noted Avivda's offensive productivity, highlighting coach the coach's strategy of pairing him with the second unit, without Morant and Lillard. This gave Avivda more freedom to handle the ball and score, potentially positioning him to lead the second unit's offense. Avivda's performance in the crucial fourth quarter, maintaining his energy, was also seen as a sign of Portland's improved depth compared to last season when he sometimes appeared exhausted in late-game situations.
