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

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is considered probable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The big man appears to be ready to make his first appearance since December 23. Ayton was expected to play on Wednesday, but the icy roads stopped him from getting to the game. The assumption is he'll play ready to go on Friday, but there is no word on a minutes limit. Regardless, Duop Reath is going to take a significant hit in value once Ayton gets back on the court.
