PORJa Morant · Deni AvdijaGameplanPresser10h

Avdija's downhill finishing is a big plus and Morant wants to get him more open space.

“With Deni, you know, his ability to be able to, you know, get down the floor, get downhill and, you know, finish through contact or without contact is an extreme plus for us. And the more we can get him in, you know, open space and let him see those gaps, it'd be great for us.”

Morant initiates on timeouts and sideline out of bounds plays while Lillard sometimes works off the ball.

“If the five man gets it, they're looking for Ja... coming out of timeouts and side out of bounds is when it's more called... we'll just kind of say like, hey, Ja, you initiate... And then we want Dame off the ball. And then there's other times where we want Dame on it.”
