Summary: Fenerbahçe - Topaz Bursa 94:89 (Sport1)
Danny Avdia continues to show excellent ability in the Washington uniform in recent times, but it does not help his team, which lost a chance to enter the play-in.
Tonight (between Sunday and Monday) the Wizards lost in Toronto 114:104 to the Raptors, and now Washington is 3.5 games away from tenth place (with seven games left until the end of the season), where Chicago is, who is in excellent shape, and it doesn't look like they are going to stumble anytime soon.
However, as mentioned, Danny Avdia once again stood out in the Washington uniform.
The Israeli forward, who should get more minutes at this stage, started with the five, played 34 minutes, and finished with 15 points (6 of 13 from the field), 9 rebounds and 7 assists.
Kristaps Porzingis added 26 for Washington, Corey Kispert 19, but the Wizards have lost eight of their last ten games, and are messing up right in money time (tonight they recorded 18 turnovers, which reduced the opponent to 25 points), so Avdia's excellence does not help.

On the other side, OG Anonovy scored 29 for Toronto, which is close to guaranteeing entry to the playoffs following Washington's stumbles.
Anonovi hit 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, which ended with a 16-point lead for the host.
The gap reached 20, Washington narrowed it to just one point (80:79), but Toronto went on a 3:13 run that closed the story.
Avdia continued his aggressive trend, and forcefully penetrated several times, as he tries to diversify and attacks both on the right and on the left.
One of his assists was on a spectacular backhand pass (which drew from the broadcasters a cry of "Oh Danny, oh God!"), which excited the broadcasters.
In total, Avdia in the last 3 games averages 17.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, in 33.3 minutes.
His percentages are also excellent: 64.3% from the field against San Antonio, 77.8% from the field against Denver, 83.3% from the field, 75% from three against Orlando.
Tonight he also recorded his tenth double-double of the season, scored double-digit points for the 31st time this season, and reached 200 three-pointers in his career.
