No moral victories, but a Star was born tonight in New Orleans, and his name is Deni Avdija. – 11:13 PM

The first player in franchise history to reach those numbers. statmuse.com/nba/player/den… – 10:40 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Deni Avdija (23) is the youngest Wizards player to score 40+ points since John Wall in 2013.
The last five Wizards/Bullets to score 40+ at 23 or younger: Deni Avdija, John Wall, Gilbert Arenas, Richard Hamilton, Chris Webber – 10:31 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Deni Avdija’s now up to 41 points, and his last 3 cut Washington’s deficit to 125-121 with 1:45 remaining in the fourth quarter. – 10:28 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
The Wizards currently have Deni Avdija at center. The Pelicans should be posting Zion up on every damn possession. – 10:22 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Midway through the fourth quarter, Deni Avdija is up to 38 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the field, 5-of-9 shooting from deep and 11-of-13 free-throw shooting. The Wizards trail the Pelicans 113-109. – 10:19 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Gotta love the tenacity and energy of this group — Jose-Naji-Herb-Trey-ZIon — to start the fourth for the Pelicans, building a six-point lead.
But Deni Avdija will be back in this game out of the timeout. – 10:11 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Pels got Deni Avdija out here looking like an All-Star – 9:55 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Deni Avdija has a career-high 27 points on 9-13 FG with 10 rebounds. Still 1 1/2 quarters left in this game. He’s going off. – 9:40 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Pelicans had a 20-point lead with 2:30 left in the second quarter. Wizards have completely erased it and pulled ahead by 6 at the 5:53 mark in the third. Zion having a hard time staying in front of Deni Avdija. Not much defense from anyone. – 9:40 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Deni Avdija has a career-high 27 and it’s just midway through the 3rd quarter 👀 – 9:39 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
With 6:00 remaining in the third quarter, Deni Avdija has a new career high: 27 points. His previous high was 25. – 9:37 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Deni Avdija beats 4 Pelicans for the offensive rebound and Washington drains the 3. Pelicans has seen their lead dwindle to 74-71 three minutes into the third quarter.
Not the start anyone wanted to see after the final two minutes of the first half. – 9:29 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Deni Avdija is playing exceedingly well tonight, especially on the offensive end. He’s got 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting (3 of 4 from deep), taken five free throws and already collected nine boards. – 9:29 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Washington Wizards’ starters tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans, with Kyle Kuzma out because of a non-Covid illness, as announced by the team:
PG: Tyus Jones
SG: Jordan Poole
SF: Bilal Coulibaly
PF: Deni Avdija
C: Marvin Bagley III – 7:30 PM
