Israeli player Deni Avdija is maintaining impressive scoring consistency in the NBA, achieving a rare feat this season. 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 record to 7-3. This performance extended Avdija's streak of scoring at least 15 points to ten consecutive games, placing him among an elite group of only eight players in the league to accomplish this.
Avdija's consistency is highlighted by the fact that, aside from one game where he scored exactly 15 points, he has scored 18 or more points in every other game this season. He is one of only three players, alongside Luka Dončić and Stephen Curry, to reach this scoring threshold in every game they have played.
Other players on this exclusive list include Alperen Şengün of the Houston Rockets, Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks, Tyrese Maxey of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder. This group features several of the league's top stars, with Dončić, Curry, and Gilgeous-Alexander being prominent figures for their respective teams, and Brunson, Maxey, and Şengün also playing key roles.
Notably, some of the NBA's biggest stars have not maintained a similar scoring streak. Victor Wembanyama scored only 12 points twice this season, Nikola Jokić had 13 points in the season opener, and Devin Booker was limited to just three points in a game against Oklahoma City, despite his otherwise strong individual season.
For Avdija, being part of this list alongside top NBA talent further solidifies his growing status in the league. His strong start to the season demonstrates his importance as a primary offensive option for the Portland Trail Blazers.
