Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton scored 17 points (7-of-19 field goals, 3-of-5 free throws) with 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and 1 turnover in 39.6 minutes of a 114-109 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
Ayton has now double-doubled in two straight games and six of the last seven. He set a season-high in steals on Sunday and logged a new personal-high in minutes played. Ayton should continue to see plenty of minutes while Aron Baynes (hip) is out. The Suns' next game is on the road Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks.
Ayton scored 52.0 FanDuel points on Sunday, his second-highest output of the season. numberFire's models project him for 18.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game over the rest of the season.
