NBA:

The Trail Blazers severely missed Deni Avdija Tuesday against Golden State. Portland’s rising star sat out with a back injury but is listed as Doubtful for tonight’s game against Atlanta. That’s an upgrade from Out so good news that the injury hopefully won’t sideline Avdija too long. Other positives from the injury report are Jerami Grant is up to Questionable, and Jrue Holiday should be a full go after playing 21 minutes in the loss to the Warriors. Blazers v Hawks tonight at the Moda Center tipping off at 7.
