  • Deni Avdija is one of only eight NBA players with a double-digit scoring streak this season.
  • Avdija has scored at least 15 points in all ten of the Portland Trail Blazers' games.
  • He is in exclusive company with stars like Luka Dončić and Stephen Curry.
  • Avdija's consistent scoring makes him a primary offensive focus for his team.
  • The Israeli player's performance signifies his growing status in the NBA.

Israeli player Deni Avdija is maintaining impressive consistency in the NBA, achieving a rare scoring streak that places him among the league's elite. Avdija scored 24 points, dished out eight assists, and grabbed six rebounds in the Portland Trail Blazers' 123-103 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, improving their season record to 7-3.

This performance extended Avdija's streak of scoring at least 15 points in all ten of Portland's games this season. He is one of only eight players in the entire NBA to achieve this feat. With the exception of one game where he scored exactly 15 points, Avdija has consistently scored 18 points or more in every other game this season.

Avdija's remarkable consistency puts him in exclusive company, alongside Luka Dončić and Stephen Curry, who have also reached this scoring benchmark in all their games. Other players on this list include Alperen Şengün of Houston, Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jalen Brunson of New York, Tyrese Maxey of Philadelphia, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Oklahoma City.

The list features several of the league's biggest stars, including Dončić, Curry, and Gilgeous-Alexander, as well as key players like Brunson, Maxey, and Şengün. Notably, even some of the NBA's top players, such as Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić, and Devin Booker, have not maintained similar scoring streaks this season.

Avdija's inclusion on this list signifies his growing status in the league and his emergence as Portland's primary offensive focal point. His consistent high-level play is further evidence of his significant role in the team's offense.
