Deandre Ayton Fantasy Stats

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (illness) was able to practice on Tuesday, signaling he could be ready to return to the lineup on Thursday versus Denver. An illness has kept Ayton out for two games. Donovan Clingan and Jabari Walker have filled in for Ayton in the starting unit. The Portland big man has averaged a double-double for the season with 14.2 points and 10.0 rebounds, but he can't seem to stay healthy, missing nine games already this term. If he's ready to return on Thursday, Ayton will, of course, find himself in a very challenging matchup against Nikola Jokic.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (illness) won't play on Sunday night against the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old hasn't been feeling the best, so he'll miss a second-straight game on Sunday. Fortunately, the Blazers won't play again until Thursday evening, giving Ayton a few more days to feel better. Without him, Jabari Walker, who had five points, five rebounds, and two steals on Friday versus the Spurs, may remain in the middle. However, that could change if Robert Williams III (concussion), who is questionable, returns. If that's the case, Williams would certainly be worth starting in all fantasy formats.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ayton is back in the mix following a seven-game absence due to a right finger contusion. The Blazers could use his help with the team banged up at the center spot right now. The expectation is that he could be somewhat limited during his first game back. However, Ayton should still be able to provide quality fantasy value even with slightly less playing time. Fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups for Wednesday.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Indiana. He has missed the last seven games because of a right index finger contusion. But with Robert Williams III (concussion) and Donovan Clingan (knee) both out, the team could certainly use Ayton back on the floor. With that in mind, if the 2018 No. 1 overall pick can't suit up, Duop Reath would presumably be in line to handle things underneath the rim. Reath hasn't seen much action this season. However, he averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 boards, and 37.4% shooting from behind the arc in 20 starts last season. As a result, Reath would be worth streaming, and his potential for more production could be greater if Jerami Grant (knee) and Scoot Henderson (back) are ruled out.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. As expected, Ayton will miss his seventh game in a row after being listed as doubtful ahead of this game. The absence of Ayton should mean that Robert Williams III continues getting increased playing time. Williams is off the injury report and back in the mix after sitting out on Saturday. He's averaging 10.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across six games this season.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Friday versus Houston. He was initially considered doubtful for the clash, meaning Ayton's return in Saturday's rematch between the teams isn't likely either. Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III will continue to cover the minutes at the five position. Clingan has averaged 9.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks since grabbing Ayton's spot in the first unit.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) has been listed as doubtful on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City. He's dealing with a right index finger injury, and it looks like the Trail Blazers will be without Ayton for a fourth consecutive game. If that's the case, Donovan Clingan should continue to start. The seven-foot-two rookie produced a monster effort with a double-double and eight blocks against Minnesota last week but has been inconsistent. Robert Williams III also benefits from Ayton's absence.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) Isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the visiting Hawks. If the 26-year-old doesn't play because of a sprained right index finger, it will mark his third-straight absence. But with things heading in that direction, fantasy managers should prepare to pivot toward Donovan Clingan, who had 17 points, 12 boards, and eight blocks while taking over in the middle for Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, Robert Williams III didn't play in that one after amassing 19 points, nine boards, three steals, and three blocks the night before versus Minnesota, the first of back-to-back contests between the clubs. With that in mind, Williams and Clingan should see the floor, although both players may compromise each other's fantasy production.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. The 2018 No. 1 overall pick was also sidelined when these clubs met on Tuesday night, resulting in Donovan Clingan getting the start and finishing with four points and six rebounds. However, it was Robert Williams III who stole the show in just his third appearance of the 2024-25 campaign, ending the night by amassing 19 points, nine rebounds, three blocks, and three steals. But with Williams getting the night off to rest, Clingan should have more opportunities to produce, although fantasy managers should still be cautious before putting him in their lineups.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) won't play in Tuesday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 2018 No. 1 overall pick has averaged 13.3 points and 10.5 assists this season. He's also shot a career-high 38.5% from behind the arc. But he'll miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign due to a sprained right index finger. Without him, Donovan Clingan will get the start. However, fantasy managers could see a productive evening from Robert Williams III, although he likely continue to operate under a minutes restriction.
