I'll give it to Avdija for the rebounding and defense. Kuzma is also deserving.

I'm going with Deni. Good things happened just about every time he entered the game. A double-double with a career high 15 rebounds, 3 assists, and best +/- on the team (tied with Ish).

Kuzma had a brilliant 3rd showing his full arsenal of moves, but was part of the reason we entered the first half tied with a really bad team.

Honorable mentions to Ish and Gill; Rui was playing well before he got injured too.

Went back and forth between Kuzma and Avdija. Ended up giving it to Kuzma and as soon as I hit submit, I had second thoughts. I gave to to Kuzma because he was showing some leadership qualities on the court. On a couple occasions I saw him encouraging or talking to Avdija and others. He was a vocal leader. He shot well, got some timely rebounds (as did Avdija) and made some good defensive plays (as did Avdija).
I can make a case for Avdija because he showed poise and was deliberate in his actions, makling some good passes and timely rebounds. He and Kuzma seem to have pretty good positioning for rebounds. I think this is his 2nd double-double.

Two player race, obviously.

Deni was a beast on the boards and played his usual great d. Was a little Westbrookian on offense alternating between omg and wtf.

Ultimately gotta go with Kuz. Showing great leadership. Terrific breakout season. He’s a keeper.

Two horse race with Kuzma leading the way but I’d give it to Deni. Growing before our eyes!

We had people in to dinner. Which means I wasn't able to watch the game.

For that reason, I am disqualified from picking a POTG. But, I'm not going to let that stop me.

I'm giving it to Ish -- it's a "Welcome Back" present.

We can't give it to Killian Hayes or Olynyk? Ok, I'll go with Deni.
