Deandre Ayton

Ayton was back in the lineup after missing two games with an illness, which made this the first time in over a month that he was available to play at the same time as Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams. All three have been productive in fantasy when they've been given the minutes, even if this has been an overall disappointing season for Ayton. He ended up getting the largest workload, which allowed him to record a double-double in 35 minutes, while Clingan logged 12 minutes and Williams played just 10.

Ayton will be back after missing their last two games, and he will return to his usual spot in the starting unit. That will push the rookie Donovan Clingan back to the bench, which means that he'll be splitting the backup center minutes with Robert Williams.

Ayton (illness) will play Thursday against the Nuggets.

Ayton practiced Tuesday, so he's trending in the right direction after missing two straight games. If he's able to get back on the court, Ayton will likely start, and Donovan Clingan will head back to the bench.

Ayton (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
