The Israeli forward has been marked as available to play, marking the first time he will suit up after missing the last seven games due to his lingering back injury.
Per Blazers interim coach Tiago Splitter, Avdija will strictly play under a minute restriction this weekend.
Avdija has appeared in 48 games thus far this year. The first-time All-Star is averaging a career-high 24.4 points and 6.6 assists with 7.0 rebounds.
The comeback of Avdija can't be more important for the Blazers. They are currently 10th in the West standings with a 30-34 record.
