Israeli star Deni Avdija led the Portland Trail Blazers to a decisive 94-70 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night. Avdija was the standout player, finishing with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and a game-high plus-minus of +32 in 30 minutes of play. He shot 6 of 12 from the field, including 2 of 4 from three-point range, and was 10 of 13 from the free-throw line. The win improved Portland's season record to 4-1 after a previous home loss to Memphis.

The Trail Blazers played effectively despite the absence of Ja Morant, who is expected to miss at least a month due to a hamstring injury. The Jazz were also shorthanded, missing Jaren Jackson Jr. Damian Lillard also had a strong performance for Portland, scoring 22 points after a low-scoring outing in their last game. Lillard reached double digits within the first six minutes of the contest.
