4 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton became the latest big to crush the Rockets on Monday, matching his season high with 27 points and adding 11 rebounds in a 133-130 win. He shot 10-for-14 from the field and 7-for-8 at the foul line, while swatting away two shots on the defensive end. Ayton entered the contest after a couple of very quiet nights, so this should provide a nice boost to his confidence ahead of a meeting with Rudy Gobert and the Jazz. It's a pretty intimidating matchup for Ayton, but the Jazz have actually given up the sixth-most points per 48 minutes to the center position this season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
