Deandre Ayton's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) will suit up on Saturday night against the Raptors. He's been flirting with playing over the last few games. However, the former Sun will return after missing the previous five games because of a sprained hand. There's a chance Ayton will get fewer minutes in his first game back from a lengthy layoff. But his return will still be enough to drop the fantasy ceiling of Duop Reath, who's averaged 13.8 points and 6.0 rebounds in 16 starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

This marks the fifth game in a row that Ayton has missed due to a hand sprain. When healthy, Ayton has been a solid asset to the Blazers. However, he's missed over 20 games and is likely to miss more with the Blazers falling out of contention. There is little incentive for the Blazers to push Ayton back to the floor right now. Duop Reath should continue to start and is a solid streaming option.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) is considered doubtful against the Houston Rockets on Friday while he deals with a right hand sprain. This will be the big man's fifth consecutive missed game and his 22nd overall. Ayton has been a very good rebounder this season, but his health and struggles with his new team have been part of the reason that he's registering one of his worst statistical seasons. Despite that, he should still be a starter on fantasy rosters whenever he does play, but since he's doubtful for this contest, Duop Reath should remain in the starting five. Moses Brown may also get some minutes, but his spot in the rotation isn't consistent enough to be a streamer.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) is listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ayton is in danger of missing his fourth straight game due to a right hand sprain. Duop Reath has been starting in his place and playing above expectations. He finished with 26 points while knocking down five 3-pointers during their last game. Reath appears to be a strong streaming choice until Ayton can get back on the court.
