Deandre Ayton (leg) starting for Suns Thursday; JaVale McGee back to bench
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton will start Thursday in the team's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Ayton missed one game due to a lower leg contusion, but he wasn't going to be sidelined for long. He'll return to the court Thursday night, and he'll also return to the starting lineup. JaVale McGee will revert to a role off the bench to make room for Ayton.
Our models project Ayton for 14.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 33.3 FanDuel points across 31.1 minutes of action.
