Deandre Ayton Returns To Starting Lineup Monday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (leg) has been given the green light to get back into the mix for Monday's game against Minnesota. Ayton had been sidelined for the previous five games due to a lower right leg contusion, so it stands within reason that Phoenix could keep an eye on his minutes in his […]

Deandre Ayton Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (leg) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Head coach Monty Williams mentioned that Ayton needs to get up his conditioning before returning to the court. Fantasy managers should expect Ayton to sit out for the sixth straight game. There probably won't be a final decision […]

Deandre Ayton Needs To Regain His Conditioning

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (leg) is focused on getting his conditioning back, according to head coach Monty Williams. The superstar big man missed his fifth straight game on Sunday. The Suns play again on Monday, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Ayton to play. Instead, JaVale McGee should get the start, while Frank Kaminsky gets […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 5: Naz Reid, JaVale McGee, Dwight Powell, Alec Burks

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

JaVale McGee Records A Nice Double-Double

Phoenix Suns center JaVale McGee had a chance to celebrate his first double-double of the season on Sunday when he collected 19 points and 14 rebounds in a blowout win over Houston. He missed just three of his 12 shots and added three blocks and one steal on the defensive end in 25 minutes of […]

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (leg) will remain sidelined for Friday's contest against the Grizzlies as he continues to deal with a right leg contusion.
