Danny Avdia was excellent again, but Washington lost again - voila! sport. The Israeli finished with another double-double - this time 22 points and 12 rebounds, but the missing Wizards surrendered 108:102 to Portland.
In a very uncharacteristic manner for Abdia, he finished the game without a single assist. The Wizards again showed up with a particularly lacking roster, without Kyle Kuzma, Tyus Jones, Rashon Holmes, Marvin Bagley and others. However, they did not find answers to DeAndre Ayton, who did as much as he could with 34 points.
