If you hit a ball to the opponent's side of the court and the opponent is standing out of bounds and the ball hits him even though he tried to avoid, is it your point since it hit him before it hit out of bounds?

YES, its your point: RULE 20 Player Loses Point (g) The ball in play touches him or anything that he wears or carries, except his racket in his hand or hands; or [USTA Comment: This loss of point occurs regardless of whether the player is inside or outside the bounds of his court when the ball touches him.] http://www.michianatennis.com/tennisrules.htm#R20

Yes of course it is. If it hits the opposing player(s) period, it is automatically your point.
