Deandre Ayton Returns To Double-Double Form
4 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton collected a nice double-double in Monday's loss to Memphis, finishing with 18 points and 16 rebounds. He also had three assists and one block with 7-for-14 shooting from the floor and a 4-for-5 effort at the line. Ayton had gone two games without a double-double before finding his mojo again vs. Memphis. He had especially been quiet offensively with no free throws attempted and a lack of makes from the field. Ayton should be able to make plenty of noise in the next matchup vs. the Rockets, whose starting center Christian Wood is very lightweight for the position and tends to struggle against opposing bigs.
