Deandre Ayton Scores Team-High 19 Points
6 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton wasted little time in responding from his four-point outing earlier in the week, delivering a 19-point performance against the Orlando Magic in a loss Friday. Unfortunately, that caveat came with a season-low six rebounds, as his back-up, Richaun Holmes, snagged nine. With both Devin Booker and T.J. Warren out Friday, Ayton took his highest total of shots (16) in nearly two weeks, which could bode well for his usage moving forward if one or both continues to sit in street clothes. Centers are feasting against the Los Angeles Lakers this season, as they are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing centers in the league, which makes Ayton an appealing play come Sunday.
